What this covers

Exporters and suppliers to SEZ units have two options: pay IGST and claim a refund, or file a Letter of Undertaking in Form RFD-11 and export without paying tax at all. The second keeps your working capital where it belongs.

An LUT is valid for one financial year and has to be filed afresh each April. Miss it and every export invoice in the gap becomes taxable, with a refund claim to follow.

We file the LUT, share the acknowledgement with the ARN for your invoices and shipping documents, and remind you every March so the next year's filing is not an afterthought.

How we handle it

Filed within days

The LUT is generally accepted online without departmental intervention, so the acknowledgement comes back quickly.

Invoice wording checked

Export invoices have to carry the correct LUT declaration. We give you the exact wording to use.

Renewal reminder every March

You are prompted before the new financial year rather than after an invoice has already gone out.

Refund route compared

If paying IGST and claiming refund actually suits your cash position better, we will say so.

Frequently asked

Who can file an LUT?
Any registered exporter of goods or services, or supplier to an SEZ, who has not been prosecuted for tax evasion exceeding ₹250 lakh. Everyone else furnishes a bond with a bank guarantee instead.
How long is an LUT valid?
One financial year. A fresh LUT is filed each year, ideally in the first week of April so no export invoice is issued without cover.
What if we export without a valid LUT?
Those supplies become taxable and IGST has to be paid, then claimed back as a refund. The tax is recoverable but the cash sits with the department for months.
Does an LUT cover service exports?
Yes, provided the supply qualifies as an export of service — including payment received in convertible foreign exchange. We check that condition before you rely on it.
