It enables the importer to obtain goods from a foreign supplier without having to pay upfront for the transaction.

Overview of Letter of Undertaking

The exporter certifies in the Letter of Undertaking (LUT), which must be submitted in Form GST RFD 11 in accordance with Rule 96A, that they will comply with all GST-related regulations when exporting without paying IGST. Any individual who has registered for GST is only eligible to submit a LUT if they have not already been charged with tax evasion that totaled more than Rs. 2.5 Crore, any other offence under the CGST Act, the IGST Act 2017, or any other applicable law. Exporter rights may be cancelled and a deposit is required if they do not meet the LUT standards. Please be aware that before exporting any goods or services, this Letter of Undertaking (LUT) must be submitted online. You can apply for Letter of Undertaking, or LUT if you meet the following conditions:

  • Wish to supply goods or services overseas or to India without paying GST
  • Registered business under GST
  • Do not have a tax evasion case of more than Rs 2.5 crore

Advantages of Letter of Undertaking

Exports without tax paymentAn exporter can export products or services without paying taxes by filing a LUT under GST. To take advantage of zero-rated exports if LUT is not filed, the exporter must first pay the necessary tax while making exports and then file a refund claim
Saves Working CapitalRegular exporters greatly benefit from reporting LUT online as the refund process via an alternate channel is laborious. when a due refund is used to obstruct the large amount of capital
An Entire Financial Year ValidityOnce submitted, the letter of undertaking is valid for the entire fiscal year for which it was submitted. So, unlike the reimbursement process, an exporter does not have to follow the formalities each time an export consignment is made
Simple and online processSince April 2018, LUT submission and acceptance are both done online. For approval, the applicant is not required to appear before the officers. A few necessary documents can be submitted online to finish the process

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
