Commerce Ministry to Restore Full RoDTEP Benefits to Exporters from April 1, 2026

The Commerce Ministry has assured exporters that full benefits under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme will be restored from April 1, 2026. This follows a February 23 decision to halve duty remission rates, excluding agricultural and processed food products, which had disappointed exporters. The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) welcomed the assurance given by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, noting the scheme's role in refunding taxes and levies not reimbursed elsewhere.
