The government has extended the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme until the end of December 2026. The scheme will continue to be available for Domestic Tariff Area units, Advance Authorisation holders, Special Economic Zone units, and Export Oriented Units.
On October 2, 2026, the Department of Commerce, through Notification No. 41/2026-27 dated September 30, 2026, announced an extension of the RoDTEP Scheme until December 31, 2026. The scheme will be available for Domestic Tariff Area (DTAs) Units, Advance Authorisation (AA) Holders, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Units, and Export Oriented Units (EOUs).
The RoDTEP Scheme refunds embedded, un-rebated Central, State, and local duties, taxes, and levies borne on exported products – including prior-stage cumulative indirect taxes.
The existing RoDTEP rates and value caps, as notified in Appendix 4R and Appendix 4RE as applicable on September 30, 2026, will remain unchanged during this period. This extension reflects the government's commitment to providing support to exporters by creating a level playing field in international markets vis-à-vis competing economies.
