Failure to renew LUT may invite duty and penalty, but timely submission of proof of export can avert a demand.
Non-furnishing or lapse of a bond or LUT is an essential condition for duty-free removal of goods and can give rise to duty and penalty; however, where the exporter submits satisfactory proof of export (attested shipping bills, bill of lading, foreign exchange remittance evidence) within the prescribed period, revenue demands for non-furnishing may not be sustained and tribunals may condone the lapse.
