The Directorate General of Foreign Trade has extended the RoDTEP scheme with unchanged rates and value caps to support exporters.
RoDTEP Scheme Extended Till December 31
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 existing rebate rates and value caps without modification, ensuring continuity for exporters relying on duty reimbursement.
The RoDTEP scheme refunds various embedded taxes and duties not reclaimed under GST, such as stamp duty, electricity duty, and municipal levies. By preserving the current framework, the government aims to provide stability amid global trade uncertainties and prevent disruptions in export cash flows.
Implications for Practitioners
The extension allows exporters and legal advisors to continue operating under known parameters, reducing compliance churn. Firms should still monitor for subsequent notifications, as this appears to be a short-term extension pending broader reform. Legal strategies involving export incentives can remain unchanged until year-end.
