RoDTEP & RoSCTL extensions
What it is
RoSCTL rebates embedded state and central taxes on exported garments and made-ups through tradable duty-credit scrips; RoDTEP does the same for non-apparel textiles and other goods. Both were extended to 30 Sep 2026
RoSCTL runs until the 16th Finance Commission approves a successor, whichever comes first
Impact on industries
- Refunds embedded taxes that would otherwise be exported, which is the standard mechanism keeping export pricing competitive
- Scrips are tradable, so the benefit is monetisable even by exporters with no import duty liability
- Repeated short extensions provide no planning horizon - exporters quote long-lead orders without knowing whether the rebate will exist at delivery
- Rates are periodically revised and have been contested as inadequate against actual embedded taxes, so the benefit is partial
