Overview of Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme
The RoDTEP Scheme is a new scheme, and it is applicable from 1st January 2021 by replacing the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS). It ensures that the exporters receive refunds on the embedded taxes and duties previously non-recoverable. This Scheme was introduced with the intention to boost the exports as it was relatively inferior in volume previously.
A dispute panel in the WTO gave a ruling against India that the export subsidiary programmes provided by the Indian Government violated the provisions of the trade body’ norms when the US lodged a complaint against India’s MEIS schemes in WTO. The panel also recommended that such export subsidiary programmes should be withdrawn. This ultimately gave birth to the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme to ensure that the Indian Government is complying with the WTO recommendation.
Under this Scheme, all sectors are covered to ensure uniformity across all areas. The refund issued is in the form of transferable electronic scrips, and these duty credits are maintained and tracked through an electronic ledger.
The Government has established a Committee in the Department of Revenue (DoR) to the determination of ceiling rates under this Scheme. The Scheme seeks to refund the following currently unrefunded:
This Scheme leads to the cost competitiveness of exported products in international markets and better employment opportunities in export-oriented manufacturing industries.
Some of the export subsidy programmes recommended to be withdrawn are as follows:
This Scheme aims to refund all the hidden taxes and levies, such as the followings:
This Scheme ensures that the exporter only exports goods and services, not any kind of taxes, and this Scheme covers all indirect taxes that are not reimbursed in any existing scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)
Merchandise Exports from India Scheme, also known as MEIS, was a scheme designed to grant rewards to exporters to offset infrastructural inefficiencies and the associated costs. MEIS came into effect on 1st April 2015 through the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP). The Ministry of Commerce and Industry implemented MEIS, and it was considered a major export promotion initiative by the Government of India. But the US challenged this as a violation of international norms, and so the Government of India withdrew it.
On 1st January 2021, the India Government withdrew the MEIS via the Directorate General of Foreign Tarde (DGFT).
MEIS Scheme used to generate or issue physical scrip, while RoDTEP Scheme generates electronic scrip.
The objectives of this Scheme are as follows:
- To boost all export schemes for enhancing exports to international markets.
- To make Indian exports cost more competitive and to create a level playing field for all Indian Exporters in the International market.
- To give a push to employment generation in various sectors.
- To boost dwindling outward shipments.
The benefits of RoDTEP, i.e., e-scrips, are utilised for payment of duty of Customs, only that is leviable under the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, meaning only Basic Customs Duty and not for payment of any other taxes like IGST, Compensation cess, etc. upon import of goods.
The RoDTEP Scheme is implemented through digitisation of the rebate amount in the form of transferable duty credit scrip. This scrip is maintained in an electronic ledger by CBIC for its utilisation.
Currently, the pharmaceuticals, steel, organic and inorganic chemicals, etc., sectors are excluded from the benefit of the RoDTEP Scheme.
