GST LUT Filing
Letter of Undertaking (LUT) filing for exporters to make zero-rated supplies without payment of IGST — crucial for cash flow.
Overview
Exporters can supply goods or services without payment of IGST by filing a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) with the GST department. This is renewed annually and is critical for maintaining healthy cash flow.
Without LUT, exporters must pay IGST upfront and then claim refund — locking up significant working capital.
