Hi All

Can I export some shipments under LUT as well as some shipments on payment of IGST in a same tax period (FY 2024-2025), and claim refund claims of ITC as well as IGST respectively of export shipments. I have a accumulated ITC balance in my account and have LUT for the current FY. Can I still issue export invoices with IGST collected which can be paid from my ledger balance and later claim refund of that IGST in monthly filing? This would reduce my positive ITC balance and it would get credited to my bank account within 60 days. But I have LUT for this current FY.

Ok. Thanks for your reply. On this topic it seems there is less clarity. 2 of the CAs I spoke to said its possible and 2 of the CAs said not possible. Not sure of the actual thing.

Does this imply that if a tax payer obtained LUT, he is not eligible to receive a refund of the IGST paid on export or on exports made with payment made using ITC from credit ledger?

Hi Nitin. I got a clarification from one of the experienced CAs (on export and import). Having LUT for a particular financial year, doesn't bar an exporter from raising IGST (from credit ledger) paid export invoice and thereby claiming the IGST refund. So its possible.
