Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products. We help you generate electronic Scrips, manage your ICEGATE Ledger, and monetize credits instantly.
Estimate your export refund.
The RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) scheme was introduced to replace the MEIS scheme. Its primary objective is to refund the embedded central, state, and local duties or taxes that were not being refunded under any other mechanism (like GST refund or Duty Drawback).
These include taxes like VAT on fuel used in transportation, Mandi tax, and Electricity duty used during manufacturing. The rebate is issued in the form of a transferable electronic scrip (e-Scrip) which sits in an electronic ledger on the ICEGATE portal.
No physical paper. Credits are maintained in a digital ledger on ICEGATE.
Scrips can be easily transferred to other IEC holders who need to pay Basic Customs Duty.
