We must explain to you how all seds this mistakens idea denouncing pleasures and praising account.
If you're a business or exporter offering goods or services to clients outside India and you don’t want to pay IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) every time you send an invoice abroad, then applying for an LUT (Letter of Undertaking) under GST is a must. LUT helps exporters like you carry out your exports without the burden of paying taxes upfront and then claiming refunds later. It’s a smart and efficient way to keep your working capital free and your business compliant.
In simple terms, LUT is a document that a registered GST taxpayer submits to the government, promising that they will fulfill all GST conditions while making exports without paying IGST. It is especially helpful for exporters of goods and services, freelancers with foreign clients, software companies, BPOs, and even consultants working internationally. Once filed, it remains valid for one financial year and needs to be renewed annually.
Many small businesses and startups aren’t aware of this benefit and end up paying IGST unnecessarily, which creates a cash flow issue. That’s where CallmyCA comes in. We make the process of filing LUT super easy, paperless, and 100% online.

Exporting without LUT and without paying IGST is non-compliant and may lead to penalties — LUT keeps your exports 100% legal.
LUT (Letter of Undertaking) is a declaration filed by GST-registered exporters stating they will comply with GST rules while exporting without paying IGST. It’s essential because it helps businesses avoid paying IGST upfront and saves them from the time-consuming refund process. This benefits exporters by improving cash flow and avoiding tax blockages. Without LUT, you’d have to pay IGST and later apply for a refund, which can take weeks or even months. So, LUT is a simple legal way to make exports tax-free and cash-flow friendly.
Any GST-registered person or business that exports goods or services outside India — whether directly or through SEZs — can apply for an LUT. This includes IT companies, service exporters, consultants, freelancers, or even startups dealing with international clients. You don’t need to be a large exporter — even small businesses or individuals with international payments can and should apply for LUT.
An LUT is valid for one financial year (from 1st April to 31st March). You need to apply for a fresh LUT every year before your old one expires. Don’t worry — CallmyCA sends you reminders and handles renewal every year.
Exporting without LUT and without paying IGST is a violation of GST law. It can lead to notices from the GST department, penalties, or cancellation of GST registration. To avoid such legal issues, it’s always better to file your LUT in advance.
In most cases, the LUT gets approved on the same day or within 1–2 working days. CallmyCA speeds up the process by ensuring your documents are in order and everything is filed correctly the first time.
