Indicative RoDTEP rates and caps by HSN chapter

Benefit basis: the Appendix 4R rate is applied to the FOB value of the export. Where a per-unit cap is notified, you receive the lower of the rate-based amount and the cap multiplied by the quantity shipped.

Indicative only. Sample lines from this tool's Appendix 4R (RoDTEP Rates) dataset, last checked 2026-08-05. Rates and caps are revised by DGFT notification; verify the current line against the DGFT RoDTEP schedule before filing a shipping bill.

Scheme status: DGFT Notification No. 41/2026-27 (30 September 2026) extends RoDTEP to 31 December 2026 with rates and caps unchanged. HSN codes in Appendix 4R were realigned to the new tariff codes from 1 May 2026 (Notification No. 15/2026-27), so confirm your 8-digit code against the current schedule.

How to claim RoDTEP and Duty Drawback together?
In 2026, Indian exporters can claim both RoDTEP and Duty Drawback (AIR) on the same Shipping Bill provided there is no double-counting of the same taxes. Duty Drawback refunds the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on inputs, while RoDTEP remits non-refunded taxes like VAT on fuel, Mandi Tax, and Stamp Duty.

Numerical Example: RoDTEP Scrip Calculation

Rate and cap are this tool's indicative figures for HSN 52051110. Apparel (Chapters 61, 62, 63) is covered by RoSCTL, not RoDTEP. Exporters receive the lower of the rate-based amount and the per-unit cap multiplied by quantity; here the rate-based amount is lower. The benefit is credited as an e-scrip in the exporter's ICEGATE ledger and can be used to pay basic customs duty or transferred.

Frequently asked questions

What is RoDTEP?

RoDTEP (Remission of Duties or Taxes on Export Product) is India's export promotion scheme that reimburses duties, taxes, and levies paid on inputs used in manufacturing exports. Unlike drawback, RoDTEP does not require proof of duty payment-it's a fixed percentage rebate on FOB value.

How do I claim RoDTEP?

RoDTEP is credited as a duty credit scrip (also usable as payment for duties on imports). Claim through your IEC portal (DGFT SION system). Rates and caps are HSN-code specific and updated annually by DGFT Appendix 4R.

Can I stack RoDTEP with drawback?

No, you choose one or the other for a given shipment. RoDTEP + standard drawback cannot both apply. However, RoDTEP can be stacked with technology upgradation fund surcharge (TUFS) if you export apparel/textiles. Verify with DGFT guidance for your product.
