Mandatory annual reporting requirements introduced for RoDTEP scheme

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has introduced mandatory annual reporting requirements for exporters who have claimed duty credits exceeding Rs 1 crore under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products (RoDTEP) scheme. The return calls for detailed product-wise information regarding Value Added Tax (VAT) and Excise Duty paid on both inbound and outbound transportation. The DGFT has set March 31, 2025 as the deadline for submitting 2023-24 data, with penalties for non-compliance including potential loss of RoDTEP benefits. 
 
Late submissions within three months can be rectified with a Rs 10,000 composition fee, while delays beyond this period will incur a Rs 20,000 fee. Exporters must also declare that their RoDTEP claims do not exceed actual tax incurrences, with the committee reserving the right to demand reimbursement of excess claims, as per a report.
