The Central Government on Wednesday extended the duty refund scheme, Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP), for exporters by three months till December 31.
The scheme was scheduled to end on September 30.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), in a notification, said, “The RoDTEP scheme is extended and shall apply to eligible exports from DTA (domestic tariff area), AA (advance authorisation), SEZ (special economic zone) and EOU (export-oriented unit) units up to December 31, 2026.”
Introduced in 2021, the scheme provides reimbursement of taxes, duties and levies incurred by exporters in the manufacture and distribution of goods that are not refunded or adjusted through any other mechanism at the national, state or local level.
