[SANJEEV JADHAV]

Dear Experts,

We have received order from overseas for export. Buyer is instructed us to ship the material to SEZ unit in India. We will prepare export documents as per below:-

Bill to : Overseas party.

Ship to : SEZ unit in India.

After necessary processing, SEZ unit will export the material to overseas. We will get payment in foreign currency from overseas. Is GST will be applicable in this case ?

It is zero-rated supply. This situation conforms to Section 16 (1) of IGST Act.

You can export with payment of GST or withou GST under LUT. You will be eligible for refund.
