Filing a Letter of Undertaking lets you export without paying IGST upfront and then waiting on a refund. For most exporters this is the difference between working capital sitting with you and sitting with the department.
What we do
- Confirm your eligibility to furnish an LUT rather than a bond
- Prepare and file the LUT on the GST portal for the financial year
- Check that your GST registration, IEC and bank records agree, since inconsistencies here surface later in incentive claims
- Provide the filed LUT with its acknowledgement reference for your records and your CHA
Timeline
24 to 48 hours from receipt of complete documentation.
Worth knowing
An LUT is furnished for each financial year. It does not carry forward. We flag your renewal window at handover.
How it starts
We call you within one working day to confirm your GST position before filing.
Common questions
What does an LUT actually do for me?
It lets you export without paying IGST upfront. Without one you pay the tax on every export shipment and then claim it back as a refund, which ties up working capital for weeks at a time. For most exporters that cash flow difference is the entire reason to file.
How often do I need to file it?
Every financial year. An LUT filed for one year does not carry into the next. Exporters who forget this typically discover it when a shipment is already in motion and the tax exemption is no longer available.
What happens if I ship before the LUT is filed?
You lose the exemption for that shipment and have to pay IGST then claim a refund. The LUT cannot be applied backwards to a shipment that has already gone out. Filing early in the financial year avoids this entirely.
Am I eligible or are there restrictions?
Most registered exporters are eligible. Eligibility can be affected by prosecution history under GST law above a specified threshold. We check your standing before filing rather than after a rejection.
Do I need a fresh LUT if I add a new product line or buyer?
No. The LUT covers your exports for the financial year, not individual shipments or buyers. What matters is that it is live for the year in which the export happens.
How long does it take?
24 to 48 hours from receipt of complete documentation. The filing itself is fast. Delays come from incomplete GST records or authorised signatory details that do not match.
