India has reinstated the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme benefits for exports by Advance Authorization (AA) holders, Export-Oriented Units (EOUs), and Special Economic Zone (SEZ) units.
- RoDTEP benefits for these categories, halted in February 2025, have now been reinstated to ensure a level playing field for all exporters.
- The restoration, effective from June 2025, aims to boost export competitiveness and enhance global market access.
- RoDTEP Scheme: Launched in 2021 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the RoDTEP scheme is designed to reimburse exporters for embedded duties, taxes, and levies that are not otherwise refunded under any other existing scheme.
- The RoDTEP scheme, which replaced the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS), is fully aligned with World Trade Organization norms.
- Rebates under RoDTEP Scheme will be issued as transferable duty credits or electronic scrips (e-scrips), maintained in an electronic ledger by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).
- As of March 2025, total disbursements under the RoDTEP scheme exceeded Rs 57,976 crore, highlighting its critical support for India's exports.
