Government Lowers Duty Drawback Rates on Gold and Silver Jewellery Exports
The Indian government has reduced duty drawback rates for gold and silver jewellery exports, lowering refunds to exporters. The refund for gold jewellery decreased by 3.1%, from Rs 1,851.99 to Rs 1,794.11 per gram, while silver jewellery and related items saw a roughly 9% cut, from Rs 29,501.09 to Rs 26,859.02 per kilogram. This adjustment follows a previous increase in July and may affect exporters' profit margins by reducing financial gains.
