Stepwise online process for submission of Letter of Undertaking for FY 2021-22

As per rule 96A of CGST Rule-2017 notified under Notification No. 16/2017 dated 07-07-2017, where any registered person availing the option to supply goods or services for export without payment of IGST is required to furnish a bond or a Letter of Undertaking prior to export, in Form GST RFD-11.  The facility of export under LUT has been extended to all registered persons who intend to supply goods or services for export without payment of integrated tax except those who have been prosecuted for any offence under the CGST Act or the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 or any of the existing laws and the amount of tax evaded in such cases exceeds two hundred and fifty lakh rupees.

In Union Budget 2021 the government proposed that, refund of GST paid on export of goods and/or services (i.e. rebate) will be restricted to notified taxpayers or goods/ services. Because of this change, businesses which were earlier claiming rebate on payment of tax for export supplies will now have to resort to exports without payment of tax under Bond or Letter of Undertaking and then subsequently, claim a refund of unutilised input credit

The new Letter of Undertaking for FY 2021-2022 should be made available before 01-04-2021 for doing exports on or after 01-04-2021. GSTN common portal has activated the facility to furnish Letter of Undertaking for FY 2021-22. The LUT is valid from the date of filing till 31st March 2022.
