Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP)

RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) is a government scheme launched on 1st January 2021 to refund hidden taxes and duties (like mandi tax, electricity duty, fuel surcharge) that are not covered under GST or other schemes.

It offers percentage-based duty credits (0.3% to 4.3%) through e-scrips on the ICEGATE portal, which can be used or transferred.

Exporters must ship through EDI-enabled ports and have a valid IEC.

RoDTEP replaces the MEIS scheme and is WTO-compliant, transparent, and digital—aimed at reducing export costs and improving liquidity, especially for MSMEs and manufacturers.

Validity: the Government has continued RoDTEP from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026 — for DTA exports and for Advance Authorisation holders, EOUs and SEZ units — with the existing rates and value caps unchanged (Ministry of Commerce and Industry / DGFT). Check the DGFT notification in force before filing a claim after that date.
