Government Schemes

RoDTEP, RoSCTL, Duty Drawback, EPCG and Advance Authorisation — how they work and how to claim them.

India's export incentive schemes are worth real money, and they are lost quietly. A scheme is rarely missed because an exporter decided against it — it is missed because the shipping bill was filed without the right declaration, the claim window closed, or nobody reconciled what was credited against what was due.

This category covers each major scheme on its own terms: what it refunds or exempts, who is eligible, what has to appear on the shipping bill, and how to actually file and track the claim. Rates and thresholds are revised by DGFT and CBIC from time to time, so every guide tells you where to confirm the current figure rather than treating any number as permanent.
