Where to find LUT number?

1601 views 1 replies

My LUT is showing as DEEMED APPROVED but no LUT number - only ARN and Reference Number. Which one should I put on invoices?

Some sources say use ARN - https://www.indiafilings.com/learn/how-to-file-and-renew-your-lut/, while CAClubIndia forum thread says use LUT number - https://www.caclubindia.com/forum/lut-number-confusion-arn-or-reference-number-612656.asp .. but couldnt find this LUT number anywhere in the gst portal.

What's correct - ARN or Reference Number on invoices? Or where to find that LUT number 

Right now in my invoices i used the ARN number though , is that wrong ?

Quick Summary
For GST exports under LUT, taxpayers should generally mention the LUT reference or order number on invoices, not the ARN used for application tracking. The ARN is mainly for status tracking, while the reference number serves as proof of LUT approval.

To clarify, you're dealing with a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) for exports under GST, and you've received an Application Reference Number (ARN) and a Reference Number after your LUT was deemed approved. The question is, which number should you use on your invoices? *LUT Reference Number vs. ARN:* -

 *Reference Number*: This is the number you should mention on your invoices for exports made under the LUT. It's usually provided after the LUT application is deemed approved, and its format may vary. -

 *ARN (Application Reference Number)*: This number is generated when you file your LUT application. While it's useful for tracking the status of your application, it's not typically mentioned on invoices.¹

² *What to Do:* - Use the *Reference Number (Order Number)*, which in your case seems to be `ZD2XX924XX03X71`, on your export invoices as proof of having an approved LUT for the relevant financial year. - Keep the ARN (`AD2709XX0XX707W`) for your records, as it helps track your application. By mentioning the Reference Number on your invoices, you can ensure compliance with GST regulations and facilitate smooth exports.
