Govt Restores Sops For SEZ, EOU, AA Exports

New Delhi: The Government of India has announced the restoration of benefits under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme for exports made by Advance Authorization (AA) holders, Export-Oriented Units (EOUs), and units operating in Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The benefits will be applicable for all eligible exports made from 1st June 2025 onwards.

The decision comes as part of the government’s sustained efforts to boost India’s export competitiveness in global markets. The benefits under RoDTEP for these categories were previously available until 5th February 2025. Operational since 1st January 2021, the RoDTEP scheme is designed to reimburse exporters for embedded duties, taxes, and levies that are not otherwise refunded under any other existing scheme. As of 31st March 2025, total disbursements under the RoDTEP scheme have crossed Rs 57,976.78 crore, underscoring its significant role in supporting India’s merchandise exports.
