EXPORT with LUT but LUT is not generated

If an exporter has exported goods under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) for the financial year 2024-25 but failed to renew the LUT for the same financial year, they can still claim a refund of their unclaimed Input Tax Credit (ITC). Here's a step-by-step guide:

 Step 1: File GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 Ensure that the exporter has filed their GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 returns for the relevant period, reporting the exports made under the LUT.

Step 2: Obtain a New LUT The exporter should apply for a new LUT for the financial year 2024-25. They can do this by submitting Form GST RFD-11 on the GST portal. Step 

3: File a Refund Application Once the new LUT is obtained, the exporter can file a refund application in Form GST RFD-01A on the GST portal, claiming the unclaimed ITC for the period.

Step 4: Submit Supporting Documents The exporter must submit supporting documents, such as: -

*Export invoices*: Copies of export invoices for the period. - 

*Shipping bills*: Copies of shipping bills or bills of export. - *LUT certificate*: A copy of the new LUT certificate. Step 5: Verification and Refund The tax authorities will verify the refund application and supporting documents. If everything is in order, the refund will be processed, and the exporter will receive the unclaimed ITC. Important Points: - *Time limit*: The exporter should file the refund application within the time limit specified under the GST Act (typically 2 years from the end of the financial year). -

 *Interest and penalty*: If the exporter has failed to renew the LUT, they might be liable for interest and penalty.

However, this can be waived if the exporter can provide a valid reason for the delay.
