ICEGATE Ledger Allocation
RoDTEP benefits are not issued as physical cash or bank transfers. Instead, they are generated as electronic duty credit scrips within your ICEGATE ledger account. These scrips can be used to pay basic customs duties on subsequent raw material imports, or they can be sold and transferred to other importers for cash.
What is the RoDTEP Scheme?
RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) is a scheme introduced by the Government of India to refund embedded taxes and duties on exported products that were not exempted or refunded earlier. The scheme aims to make Indian exports more competitive in global markets by providing a level playing field.
How is RoDTEP Benefit Calculated?
The RoDTEP benefit is calculated using the following formula:
Final Scrip Value = min(FOB Value x Rebate Rate%, Quantity x Per-Unit Cap)
The lower of the two calculations is the final duty credit scrip value credited to your ICEGATE ledger. This ensures that the benefit does not exceed the applicable cap for your product sector.
