¨
Ministry of Textiles has
extended the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies scheme.
¨
The extension applies to
apparel and made-ups exports.
¨ It will remain in force
until September 30, 2026 or until approval of the Scheme for the 16th Finance
Commission cycle, whichever is earlier.
¨
The extension does not
change existing guidelines.
¨ The RoSCTL scheme was
launched in March 2019. It refunds embedded state taxes on exports.
¨
It also covers certain
central levies not refunded elsewhere.
¨
The scheme follows a
zero-rating principle. This ensures exports are free from hidden taxes.
¨
It helps improve global
competitiveness of Indian textile exports.
¨ MSMEs are major
beneficiaries of the scheme. The government has also extended the RoDTEP
scheme.
¨
This extension starts
from April 1, 2026. It will continue until September 30, 2026.
¨ Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme covers textile products outside RoSCTL. Both schemes together support the textile sector.
¨ They provide coverage across the value chain. They aim to boost export competitiveness.
