Implications for Exporters:
Exporters now have additional time to ensure compliance with RoDTEP return filings, reducing the risk of penalties or loss of benefits under the scheme. The RoDTEP scheme plays a crucial role in refunding embedded taxes and duties that are not reimbursed through other mechanisms, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of Indian exports.
Action Required:
Exporters who have availed RoDTEP benefits for FY 2023-24 must ensure that their ARR is filed before the revised deadline of 30th June 2025. Those requiring additional time may utilise the grace period until 30th September 2025.
