1. In terms of rule 96A of CGST Rule-2017 which was notified under Notification No. 16/2017 dated 07-07-2017, any registered person availing the option to supply goods or services for export without payment of IGST shall furnish, prior to export, a bond or a LUT in Form GST RFD-11.
2. 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.
3. The Government vide Union Budget 2021 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.
3.1 Due to this change, many 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 credits.
4. The new LUT for FY 2022-23 should be available before 01-04-2022 for doing exports on or after 01-04-2022.
5. The GSTN common portal has activated the facility to furnish LUT for FY 2022-23.

The Government announced new wages to port & dock officers w.e.f 1.1.17 and the Deendayal Port Trust is paying the arrears before March in respect of few officers and for others they propose to pay in April. Because of this, the port Will not be deducting and remitting lakhs of rupees in the current financial year. Further, some officers like to pay the income tax during the current year itself.
