Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has introduced a new functionality on the GST Portal, enabling taxpayers to submit a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) for the Financial Year 2024-2025. This crucial task must be completed on or before March 31, 2024, or before the commencement of supply for Exports and Special Economic Zones (SEZ).
It's important to note that the previous LUT submitted by taxpayers will remain valid until March 31, 2024. To comply with the latest requirement, taxpayers can follow a straightforward procedure on the GST Portal.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to access and utilize the new functionality
- Dashboard: Log in to the GST Portal and navigate to your Dashboard.
- Services: Under the Services tab, locate the option for User Services.
- Furnish Letter of Undertaking: Within User Services, find and select the option to Furnish Letter of Undertaking.
- Select Financial Year: A new window will prompt you to select the Financial Year for which you intend to submit the LUT. Choose the relevant Financial Year (2024-2025 in this case).
- Apply: Once the Financial Year is selected, proceed to apply for the submission of the Letter of Undertaking.
This user-friendly process streamlines the submission of the LUT for the specified financial year, ensuring compliance with the GST regulations. Taxpayers are encouraged to complete this task well before the deadline to avoid any disruptions in export-related transactions and dealings with Special Economic Zones.
By implementing this new functionality, GSTN aims to enhance the ease of compliance for taxpayers, providing them with a seamless platform to fulfill their obligations. Stay informed, stay compliant!
