LUT Bond Registration
LUT Bond Registration refers to the process where a business registers a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) and a bond with tax authorities. This allows the business to export goods or services without paying Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST). The bond acts as a security to ensure compliance with export regulations and tax obligations.
