Full benefits restored under RoDTEP scheme
Financial Express Kolkata
|March 24, 2026
THE GOVERNMENT HAS restored full benefits of Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) to help the exporters who are facing business disruption from West Asia war and tariffs in key markets.
Through a notification on Monday, the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) superseded its earlier notification of February 23, which had reduced the scheme's benefits by 50%. Following an outcry on February 24 the DGFT restored RoDTEP benefits for exports of agriculture and processed food items.
The latest notification restores full benefits on all 10,780 products from February 23 until March 31, 2026 when the scheme's current extension expires.
