Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) has urged the Commerce Ministry to widen scope of Service Exports from India Scheme (SEIS) by including more services under it to promote the sector in overseas markets. The foreign trade policy provides tax incentives under SEIS to several services sector. SEPC Director-General Sangeeta Godbole said depending on the nature of services, the government gives duty credit scrips or certificates. She added that the scheme offers a reward at 5 percent or 7 percent of net foreign exchange earned and covers service providers located in India.

Godbole said the council together with the ministry is working on several steps to boost the exports. She also said that currently, nine broad categories of services are there in the list, including professional, communication, construction, educational, environmental, tourism and transport. She noted that incentives to services exporters under the scheme stood at Rs 4,262.8 crore during 2018-19 with a total of 6,376 number of SEIS scrips issued.

SEPC Director-General further stated that this incentive to exporters to offset infrastructural inefficiencies and associated costs involved to increase services export. She said scrips or certificates provided under the scheme can be used for payment of basic and additional customs duties on goods imported. She added that these are freely transferable and if an exporter is not in a position to use the scrip, they can sold in the open market.
