What is LUT Registration in GST

LUT (Letter of Undertaking) registration under GST allows exporters to supply goods and services without paying IGST. It is a legal commitment ensuring that the exporter will comply with all GST laws.

Why is LUT Important?

      • No upfront IGST payment – Keeps cash flow intact.
      • Faster export process – Avoids delays in claiming tax refunds.
      • Applicable for all exports – Goods, services, and SEZ supplies.

Example: A software company providing services to a U.S. client can export without paying GST by applying for LUT.
