Govt approves RoDTEP scheme to boost India’s falling outbound shipments

16 Mar 2020 Evaluate

In order to give boost to India’s falling outbound shipments, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its approval for the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme for reimbursement of taxes and duties, which were not refunded previously, to exporters. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said the reimbursement of taxes such as duty on power charges; VAT on fuel in transportation, farm sector, captive power generation; mandi tax; stamp duty on export documents; CGST and compensation cess on coal in power production; central excise duty on fuel used in transportation would make Indian products competitive in global markets.

Goyal has stated that sectors and products under RoDTEP scheme will be notified in a phased manner and the Merchandise Export Incentive Scheme (MEIS) benefits for those sectors and items will be withdrawn. He said with the rolling out of this new scheme, the MEIS will be phased out. He also said duties/taxes/levies not refunded in any other scheme will be refunded under this new scheme, which will be rolled out soon by the Department of Revenue. He noted that the move assumes importance as the World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute resolution panel has ruled that MEIS was not in compliance with the global trade norms. Under the WTO rules, certain duties like state taxes on power, oil, water, and education cess are allowed to be refunded.

Further, the commerce minister said as India has graduated from the category of the least developed countries, it cannot give subsidies for exports. He also said so far, exporters have been getting refund under duty drawback and GST paid on raw materials or intermediates. He added that the scheme will help in providing a level playing field to domestic exporters.
