Subject: Clarification on issues related to furnishing of Bond/Letter of Undertaking for exports
In view of the difficulties being faced by the exporters in submission of bonds/Letter of Undertaking (LUT for short) for exporting goods or services or both without payment of integrated tax, Notification No. 37/2017 – Central Tax dated 4th October, 2017 has been issued which extends the facility of LUT to all exporters under rule 96A of th

acility of export under LUT has been now 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 unlike Notification No. 16/2017-Central Tax dated 7th July, 2017 which extended the facility of export under LUT to status holder as specified in paragraph 5 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 and to persons receiving a minimum foreign inward remittance of 10% of the export turnover in the preceding financial year which was not less than Rs. one crore.
b) Validity of LUT: The LUT shall be valid for the whole financial year in which it is tendered. However, in case the goods are not exported within the time specified in sub-rule (1) of rule 96A of the CGST Rules and the registered person fail

eference Number (ARN), is generated online. If it is discovered that an exporter whose LUT has been so accepted, was ineligible to furnish an LUT in place of bond as per Notification No. 37/2017-Central Tax, then the exporter's LUT will be liable for rejection. In case of rejection, the LUT shall be deemed to have been rejected ab initio.]
f) Bank guarantee: Since the facility of export under LUT has been extended to all registered persons, bond will be required to be furnished by those persons who have been prosecuted for cases involving an amount exceeding Rupees two hundred and fifty lakhs. A bond, in all cases, shall be accompanied by a bank guarantee of 15% of the bond amount.
g) Clarification regarding running bond: The exporters shall furnish a running bond where the bond amount would cover the amount of self-assessed estimated tax liability on the export. The exporter shall ensure that the outstanding integrated tax liability on exports is within the bond amount. In case th

ods from a manufacturer without payment of tax under the GST regime. The transaction between a manufacturer and a merchant exporter is in the nature of supply and the same would be subject to GST.
j) Transactions with EOUs: Zero rating is not applicable to supplies to EOUs and there is no special dispensation for them under GST regime. Therefore, supplies to EOUs are taxable like any other taxable supplies. EOUs, to the extent of exports, are eligible for zero rating like any other exporter.

t that the conditions of LUT have been fulfilled shall be accepted unless there is specific information otherwise. That is, self-declaration by the exporter to the effect that he has not been prosecuted should suffice for the purposes of Notification No. 37/2017- Central Tax dated 4th October, 2017. Verification, if any, may be done on post-facto basis.
e) Time for acceptance of LUT/Bond: As LUT/Bond is a priori requirement for export, including exports to a SEZ developer or a SEZ unit, the LUT/bond should be processed on top most priority.

If the LUT / bond is not accepted within a period of three working days from the date of submission, it shall deemed to be accepted."

Can a GST registered service provider, whose annual TO is less than ₹ 20.00 lac, raise an invoice for services provided to a GST registered client without levying GST in the invoice? Will RCM be applicable for such invoice and the service provide file GSTR1 accordingly?

As per my view, the GST registered service provider has to charge GST on their GST Tax invoice. If his services are taxable under RCM in that case only he cannot charge GST on Tax invoice.

Hence, such transaction would be subject to GST.

how a single head as freight or lump sum freight or all in charges?
Ans. Basic freight is taxable @ 5% & other charges are taxable @ 18% .
It may happen to be a case mixed supply as per 8 of CGST Act, So it is not advisable as that tax rate will be 18% in such case.
Therefore, it would be better to show freight and other charges separately.
8) GST is not applicable for export freight collect shipments where freight is collected by my overseas agent at the destination but is GST applicable when I raise my invoice on my overseas agent for freight or for my share of the freight that was due to me? Also, at what rate can it be charged?
Ans. No, as per section 13(9) of IGST Act, if the place of supply of service lies outside India, GST is not applicable.
9) If I handle ex-works export shipment then are charges such as THC, B/L Fee, Customs clearance done in India? Will transport in India, etc. be taxable? Am I supposed to charge my overseas agent tax along with the charges?

es customers in Delhi and North India but shipments are from Mumbai, can I choose to not to raise invoices from my Delhi branch on my Delhi customers and instead centralise my billing at my head office in Mumbai?
Ans. No, you cannot centralise your billing in your head office or branch office, you must have a state wise registration with separate GSTIN numbers for each state. If you have a full-fledged branch office in Delhi that services Delhi customers then invoices must be raised by your Delhi office for your Delhi customers. Your Mumbai office, in turn, has to raise an invoice on your Delhi office for services supplied by the Mumbai office to the Delhi office. Alternatively, your Mumbai office is free to raise once a month, a consolidated statement for services supplied by the Mumbai office to the Delhi office throughout the month.
Your Mumbai office will get to consume the ITC on invoices raised by service providers in Mumbai for freight, THC, etc.
Your Delhi office will get to

the CFS, can this be treated as pure agent concept? Will the importer be allowed to claim ITC?
Ans. No, the importer will not be allowed to claim ITC in this situation. If the CFS raises an invoice on the customs broker, then the customs broker, in turn, must raise an invoice on the importer for the same service.
21) Is there a concept of pure agent/disbursement under GST regime.
Ans. Yes, there is pure agent concept in GST, in the previous example, customs broker must ask the CFS, shipping line, etc. to make the invoice in the name of the importer. Customs broker can pay on behalf of the importer and importer will be able to use the ITC. Since the invoice of the CFS, shipping line, etc., is in the name of the importer, the customs broker cannot claim ITC on this transaction.
It is advisable that you obtain an authorization letter from your customer (once every year) authorising you to customs clearance, transport, pay shipping lines, etc., on their behalf.
