Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (Department of Commerce), Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), mandates the filing of an Annual RoDTEP Return (ARR) by exporters claiming benefits under the RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products) scheme.

Key Changes

  • A new Para 4.94 is added to Chapter 4 of the Handbook of Procedures 2023, outlining the requirements for filing the Annual RoDTEP Return (ARR).
  • Exporters claiming RoDTEP benefits must file an ARR detailing inputs used in export production and actual taxes/duties incurred, using the format in Appendix 4RR.
  • The ARR for FY 2023-24 must be filed by March 31, 2025, initially for exporters with total RoDTEP claims exceeding Rs. 1 crore.
  • Non-filing results in denial of RoDTEP benefits and cessation of RoDTEP claim processing after a three-month grace period (June 30th).
  • A composition fee of Rs. 10,000 is levied for delayed filing up to June 30th, increasing to Rs. 20,000 afterward. RoDTEP processing resumes within 45 days of fee payment.
  • Exporters must maintain records substantiating ARR claims for five years.
  • ARR filings are subject to periodic assessment and potential rate revisions by the RoDTEP Committee.
  • IT-assisted risk-based criteria will identify ARR cases for further scrutiny, potentially leading to refunds/surrender of excess claims.
