DGFT Extends RoDTEP Scheme for Exports Until March 2026

The Government of India has extended the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme until March 31, 2026. This extension applies to exports from Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) units, Advance Authorisation (AA) holders, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) units, and Export Oriented Units (EOUs). 

Under this scheme, exporters receive refunds for embedded non-creditable central, state, and local levies on inputs used in production. This ensures that taxes are not exported, enhancing the global competitiveness of Indian products. The existing RoDTEP rates and per-unit value caps remain unchanged. 

However, the operation of the scheme is subject to the budgetary framework provided under Paragraph 4.54 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, ensuring that remissions during the financial year are managed within the approved allocation. For detailed information on eligible export items and applicable rates, exporters can refer to Appendix 4R (for DTA units) and Appendix 4RE (for AA/SEZ/EOU units). 

This extension provides continued support to exporters, offering policy certainty and aiding in maintaining the momentum of India's export sector amid global trade challenges.
