As you are aware, exports of goods & services can be made without payment of integrated tax under provisions of Rule 96A of CGST Rules. Under the said provisions, an exporter is required to furnish a Bond or LUT to the jurisdictional Commissioner before effecting zero rated exports/supplies.

As per the Circular No. 8/8/2017-GST dated 04.10.2017, the LUT shall be valid for the whole Financial Year in which it is tendered. Thus, the LUT obtained during FY 2017-18 shall be valid till 31st March, 2018. Exporters who intend to export under LUT are advised to submit fresh LUT for exports w.e.f. 01.04.2018.

All concerned exporters are advised to act accordingly to avoid any inconvenience in exporting the goods.

    It is advisable to submit LUT application manually together with the documents required to be attached.However, an online application may also be submitted in the portal and an acknowledgement from the portal should be printed and attached with the manual application.It is understood that there are technical glitches in the GST portal, on which the authorities are believed to be working.

    When can we finally expect to have the IGST (paid to manufactures) refunded. The goods have been exported long time back under Bond without payment of IGST (while Export).

    There has been no information on this concern since frist day

  11. Vinod Yadav says:

    The circular uses this caveat “This notification has been issued in supersession of Notification No. 16/2017 – Central Tax dated 7th July, 2017 except as respects things done or omitted to be done before such supersession. “. It means LUT issued against 16/2017 prior this circular is valid till the date of validity mentioned therein.

    Hope I am correct.
