Date: January 29, 2025

Circular No./Notification No.: Trade Notice No. 27/2024-25

This notice is essentially about introducing a digital platform to make it easier for exporters to file their Annual RoDTEP Return (ARR) online.

What is RoDTEP?

The Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme provides refunds for certain taxes and duties that are not refunded through other means. Exporters need to file an Annual Return (ARR) to declare and claim these benefits.

What’s Changing?

Previously, the process was manual or less structured. Now, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has launched an online module on its website. This module will allow exporters to file their Annual Return digitally, making the process faster and more convenient.

Key Features of the Update:

  1. Online Module: A dedicated space on the DGFT website where exporters can log in and file their ARR.
  2. Guidelines and FAQs: Step-by-step instructions and frequently updated FAQs are available to help exporters use the platform effectively.

 

Impact:

  • For Exporters: Filing the ARR becomes simpler and more accessible.
  • For DGFT: It streamlines data collection and ensures transparency.
  • Overall: It reduces paperwork, minimises errors, and promotes compliance within the export community.
