Refund of Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid on inputs and input services used in the export of goods or services. The refund can be claimed under the Letter of Undertaking (LUT) scheme, which allows exporters to export goods or services without paying GST.

Eligible for the refund

• The exporter must have a valid LUT and GST registration. Additionally, the exporter must have received payment for the exported goods or services in foreign currency, and the shipment should have been made to a foreign country.

• The process of claiming a GST refund on export under LUT involves the submission of a refund application along with the necessary supporting documents to the concerned authority. The application is then processed, and the refund is credited to the exporter's account once the claim is approved.

• It is important for exporters to keep accurate records of their GST payments and exports to ensure a smooth and hassle-free refund process. They should also be aware of the applicable GST rules and regulations to avoid any errors or complications during the refund claim process.
