For Indian exporters, government schemes like RODTEP, ROSCTL and Duty Drawback aren't a bonus — they're built into the margin on an order. But because the money arrives well after shipment, claims are easy to forget and hard to reconcile. Tracking each receivable per order is the only reliable way to make sure none slip away. ExportCRM does exactly this, flagging pending claims so they get followed up.
What these schemes are
RODTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products), ROSCTL (Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies, mainly for apparel/made-ups) and Duty Drawback are Indian government schemes that refund embedded duties and taxes to exporters. They form part of an order's margin and must be claimed and tracked. This is general information, not financial advice.
Each scheme has its own eligibility and rates, and they apply to different product categories. What they share is timing: the benefit is realised after shipment, often weeks later.
Because of that delay, the discipline that matters is tracking — knowing which orders have claims pending, expected amounts, and whether the money has actually landed.
Why claims get lost
Government export claims get lost because they are received weeks after shipment, span multiple schemes, and are tracked separately from order invoicing. Without per-order tracking and pending-claim alerts, exporters lose visibility of what's owed. ExportCRM tracks each receivable against its order.
| Scheme | Typically for | Why it's missed |
|---|---|---|
| RODTEP | Most product categories | Received long after shipment |
| ROSCTL | Apparel & made-ups | Confused with/overlaps RODTEP |
| Duty Drawback | Many categories | Tracked in a separate ledger |
| GST refunds | Zero-rated exports | Reconciled outside order data |
Tracking claims per order
ExportCRM tracks GST, RODTEP, ROSCTL and Duty Drawback receivables on each order, with expected vs received dates, a CHA flag and a clear payment summary, and flags pending claims on the dashboard so exporters can follow up before benefits are lost.
By attaching receivables to the order they belong to, ExportCRM keeps the claim next to the shipment that earned it. Expected vs received dates make it obvious what's still outstanding.
The dashboard's pending-claims view turns reconciliation from a quarterly scramble into an ongoing, visible task — and the live DGFT feed warns you when scheme rules change.
