RoDTEP Scheme Extended Till Dec 31, Rates Unchanged
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has extended the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme until December 31, 2026. The extension maintains the current rate structure and value caps without revision, providing continuity for exporters under the scheme.
Roadmap for export incentive stability has been reinforced through this extension, which applies to all notified sectors including textiles, engineering goods, and electronics. The RoDTEP scheme reimburses exporters for embedded central, state, and local duties and taxes that are not refunded under other mechanisms, ensuring a level playing field in global markets.
The decision avoids disruption during the ongoing fiscal year and allows businesses to plan shipments without uncertainty over incentive availability. Stakeholders had sought an extension to align with financial year-end cycles and ongoing export contracts.
Practitioners should note that all existing application norms, certification requirements, and processing timelines remain in force. The move supports predictability in export incentive claims and may influence pricing and contract negotiations in international trade deals.
