Export Bond for GST
Entities that are not eligible to submit a Letter of Undertaking based on the conditions mentioned will have to furnish an export bond and a bank guarantee. The applicant needs to cover the amount of tax involved in the export based on estimated tax liability self-assessment.
Export bond should be furnished on non-judicial stamp paper of the value as applicable in the State in which the bond is being furnished.
Also, exporters can furnish a running bond, so that export bond needs not to be executed for each export transaction. However, if the outstanding tax liability on exports exceeds the bond amount at any time, then the exporter must furnish a new bond to cover the additional liability.
A bank guarantee can be mandated along with an export bond. The value of the bank guarantee should usually not exceed 15% of the bond amount. However, based on the exporter's track record, the bank guarantee required to be submitted with the export bond can be waived off by the jurisdictional GST Commissioner.
