Process Timeline
Eligibility Check
Ensure that your business is involved in the export of goods or services. Only exporters who fall under the prescribed categories and comply with the scheme’s rules can apply for RoDTEP.
GST and Export Registration
Ensure that your business is registered under GST and has an active GSTIN. Exporters must also be registered with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).
Application for RoDTEP
Exporters must apply for the scheme through the RoDTEP online portal on the DGFT website. The application includes providing details about the exported goods, the applicable HS codes, and the specific duties or taxes incurred.
HSN Code and Compliance
Ensure the proper classification of products using Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes. Incorrect or incomplete details may lead to rejection of claims.
Filing of Export Details
File the relevant export data in the prescribed format with the RoDTEP portal, including export invoices and other supporting documents.
Verification and Validation
Once the application is submitted, the concerned authorities will verify and validate the details. This includes checking the admissibility of the duties claimed and cross-checking the export records.
Claim Calculation
The remission amount is calculated based on the nature of the goods and applicable duty remission rates as prescribed by the government. This is done using a rate established by the RoDTEP scheme.
Issuance of Entitlement Certificate
If the application is approved, the exporter will receive an entitlement certificate specifying the remission amount. This certificate is used to claim the refund.
Claiming Refund
The exporter can then claim the refund from the customs department based on the certificate issued. The refund can be received in the form of transferable credits.
Monitoring and Reporting
Exporters must regularly monitor the status of their claims and ensure compliance with RoDTEP guidelines to avoid penalties or non-compliance issues.
