This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
As a transporter serving a unit in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), you can indeed provide services without charging GST by using a Letter of Undertaking (LUT). This is because supplies to SEZ units are considered zero-rated. Furthermore, you are eligible to claim the full Input Tax Credit (ITC) on GST paid for any input services used in providing these zero-rated transportation services.

- ITC on Inputs and Input Services: Since your supply is zero-rated, you are entitled to claim full ITC on GST paid on input services (e.g., fuel, vehicle maintenance, tolls, etc.) used to provide transportation to SEZ units.
- No Restriction Under Section 17: Zero-rated supplies are not subject to the proportionate reversal rules under Section 17(2) and Rule 42.
- Refund Option: You may also opt to claim refund of unutilized ITC under Rule 89 if you are accumulating credit due to LUT-based exports.
