Refunds on taxes and tariffs not covered by other means are part of the Government of India's important Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) initiative, which was launched to increase exports.
Set to conform with World Trade Organization (WTO) requirements, this system took effect on January 1, 2021, replacing the Merchandise Exports from India system (MEIS). The input product encompasses a range of taxes, including state and federal levies such as electricity duties, coal cess, mandi tax, and value-added tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel that were not originally reimbursed. By successfully lowering exporters' production costs, the goal is to increase the competitiveness of Indian goods on the international market.

The RoDTEP scheme presents a significant opportunity for Indian exporters to enhance their competitiveness on the global stage. Our specialized services in navigating the complexities of this scheme can play a crucial role in ensuring that businesses not only comply with the requirements but also maximize their benefits under the scheme. By partnering with Interlink Capital, exporters can effectively reduce their operational costs, boost their exports, and contribute to the broader goal of making Indian products globally competitive.
Under RoDTEP, exporters are eligible for incentive for taxes and duties paid on inputs and input services used in the production of exported goods. These include central and state taxes such as VAT, fuel tax, and electricity duties, which are not refunded by any other means. The scheme operates through a digital scrip system, where duty scrips are granted and can be used to pay customs duties on imports or can be trade.
The RoDTEP Scheme covers a wide range of products, which are classified under specific tariff codes. The government periodically updates the list of eligible products and the rates at which incentives are provided. It's important for exporters to check the latest notifications for accurate information.
