Invoice to Be Issued in Case of Exports

Last updated at August 14, 2026 by

In Case of Export, Govt does not charge any GST from us

it is because we are doing good for India and earning foreign exchange

But government wants to make sure that we actually receive money from Foreign Party

 

So, government ask us to first pay IGST and later claim refund when we receive money from outside India

If we do not want to pay this GST, we can give a Bond or Letter of undertaking to Govt that Money will be received from Outside India

Letter of Undertaking is a simple form which we have to fill online, that it is our guarantee that money will be received

In case of Export Govt Gives 2 Option

Option 1

Charge IGST on Bill

When Money Received from Outside India, Claim Refund

Bill should mention line-:

SUPPLY MEANT FOR EXPORT ON PAYMENT OF IGST

Option 2

Do not charge IGST on Bill

Bill should mention line-:

SUPPLY MEANT FOR EXPORT UNDER BOND OR LETTER OF UNDERTAKING WITHOUT PAYMENT OF IGST

(As per new amendment, now Bond is not compulsory, LOU (Letter of undertaking) is sufficient
