The government extended the RoDTEP and RoSCTL export-tax remission schemes through December 31, in decisions announced on September 30 before the previous window expired. The Textiles Ministry confirmed that RoSCTL will continue from October 1 at existing rates and guidelines for apparel, garments and made-ups.
Moneycontrol reported that the DGFT’s September 30 notification also keeps RoDTEP’s existing rates and value caps. Eligible exports from domestic tariff-area units, advance-authorisation holders, special economic zones and export-oriented units remain covered under the notified conditions. The EEPC India notification index lists the new continuation notice as 41/2026-27.
These schemes address eligible taxes and levies embedded in export production that are not refunded through other mechanisms. Extending them provides a further period of support; it does not mean every export receives the same refund or that the rates have been increased.
Business Standard reported criticism from Global Trade Research Initiative founder Ajay Srivastava that short extensions make it harder to price orders agreed months before shipment. He sought a five-year window. That is a proposal, not the decision adopted: the confirmed extension currently ends on December 31. The original DGFT PDF was not readable in the material reviewed, so its terms are reported through corroborating coverage and the official trade-council index.
