With reference press note dated 31.12.2020 issued by CBIC on the new RoDTEP scheme being operationalized from 01.01.2021. Necessary changes in the System have also been made to accept and process RoDTEP claims. SILENT FEATURES OF THE SCHEME: ❖ The Scheme will take effect for Exports from 1st January 2021. However, effective date for export obligation under advance authorisation, export by 100% Export Oriented Units (EOU), export by Special Economic Zone (SEZ), export by Free Trade Zone will be decided later. ❖ The rebate would be claimed as a percentage of the Freight on Board (FOB) value of exports with value cap per unit of the exported product. ❖ The Scheme will be implemented with end-to-end digitization. ❖ RoDTEP rates will be reviewed annually and will be notified well in advance before the beginning of the Financial year. ❖ The Scheme will operate in Budgetary framework of each financial year and necessary calibrations and revisions will be made as and when required so that the projected remissions for each financial are managed within the approved budget of the Scheme. ❖ The sequence of introduction of the scheme across sectors, prioritization of sectors to be covered will be decided and notified by the Department of Commerce (DoC) in consultation with Department of Revenue. ❖ The rebate allowed is subject to the receipt of sales proceeds within time allowed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 (FEMA). General time allowed to receive sales proceeds is 9 (Nine) months from date of export. Rebate would not be dependent on the realization of export proceeds at the time of issue of Rebate. However, adequate safeguards to avoid any misuse on account of non-realization of export proceeds and other systemic improvements as in operation under Drawback Scheme, IGST and other GST Refunds relating to exports would also be applicable for claims made under the RoDTEP Scheme. Necessary provisions for recovery of rebate amount where foreign exchange is not realized within specified period, suspension of/withholding of RoDTEP in case of frauds and misuse, as well as imposition of penalty will also be built suitably by CBIC. ❖ MECHANISM OF ISSUE OF REBATE: The Scheme would be implemented through end to end digitalization of issuance of rebate amount in form of a transferable duty credit/electronic scrip (e-scrip), which will be maintained in an electronic ledger by Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC). Necessary rules and procedures regarding grant of RoDTEP claim under the Scheme and implementation issues including manner of application, time period for application and other matters including export realization, export documentation, sampling procedures, record keeping etc would be notified by the CBIC, Department of Revenue on an IT enabled platform with view to end to end digitalization.
