Remissions of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products, known as the RoDTEP scheme, is issued by the Government of India to avail Indian exporters with incentives and benefits on taxes. Earlier, the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) was used to serve exporters from India for the purpose of incentives. Now Government of India replaced MEIS with RoDTEP to regulate the refund policy on taxes and duties, which was earlier non-recoverable. With this scheme, exporters will receive refunds for the non-creditable taxes such as fuel tax, stamp duty, electricity tax, and many more applied while trading goods. RoDTEP is imposed to enhance the export business of India and boost sales in the international market.
Earlier, the taxes such as Mandi tax, fuel tax (used while transporting goods), and electricity tax (used while manufacturing the goods) were under the category of non-refundable taxes. Under the RoDTEP scheme, a range of local taxes, all embedded taxes, taxes on fuel (petrol, diesel, CNG, PNG, and coal cess, etc.), taxes on electricity, toll tax, and stamp tax on Import-Export documentation are now covered and reimbursed for exports.
The tax credits are tracked and recorded online. It is generated in the form of transferable electronic scrips.
The Internet makes it easy to monitor and verify records of the exporters with a much higher speed than done manually. A proper IT-based Risk Management System with an in-built smart audit mechanism is used to track the records of the exporters and ensure the accuracy of the transaction process.
Under the Rodtep scheme, all sectors of exports such as manufacturers, MSMEs, merchant exporters, and all the industries such as the textile industry, agricultural industry, and jewellery industry can benefit from this program. Most importantly, RoDTEP ensures equality among all areas. There is a proper team set up to regulate the benefits of this scheme across the various sectors and ensure the degree of benefit that needs to be extended to each sector.
Under the MEIS scheme, additional incentive on exports of goods was available. While under the RoDTEP scheme, exporters are entitled to a refund of Indirect taxes and duties embedded on the exported products, which are currently not reimbursed by any of the existing schemes.
The MEIS is not in compliance with WTO trade norms, and that’s why the RoDTEP scheme was launched, which is in accordance with the WTO guidelines.
The MEIS incentive was often higher with 2% to 5% of the FOB (Free on Board) value of Exports. In comparison, the RoDTEP incentives are product-based % which is expected to be lesser than MEIS.
Under MEIS, credits are issued in the form of physical transferable scrips that is a hard copy. While in RoDTEP, credits are issued in the form of transferable electronic scrip, which is maintained through an electronic ledger.
The exporters from India are eligible to avail themselves of the benefits of the RoDTEP scheme. Following are the steps to claim the benefits of the RoDTEP scheme:
The ICEGATE portal (Indian Customs Electronic Gateway) will contain insights about the credits benefited by the exporter. At the port, the exporter should demonstrate in the shipping bill the insights about the claim of the RoDTEP benefit concerning a specific commodity and generate a credit scrip for the same. These credit scrips are then utilized to pay customs taxes and refunds.
