India Extends RoDTEP and RoSCTL Export Refund Schemes Till December 2026
The Indian government has extended the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme and the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) scheme by three months until December 31, 2026. Both schemes continue at existing rates and conditions, providing exporters, especially MSMEs, refunds on embedded taxes and levies not reimbursed through other mechanisms. The extensions aim to maintain export competitiveness amid global uncertainties, with exporters urging longer-term continuity for better predictability. Budget allocations for these schemes remain substantial for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27.
