The Key Points highlighted in the Advisory are:
1. For Chapter 61,62, and 63 RoSCTL Scheme would continue to be given till 31.12.2024 instead of RoDTEP
2. The Functionality of RoDTEP and RoSCTL is now available in the ICEGATE 2.0 Portal which can be accessed only by IECs who have registered on ICEGATE with DSC.
3. The Provisions of RoDEP are as per notified Notifications of the department and availability of the budget.
4. The RoDTEP Scheme which is effective of 01.01.2021 is captured in the shipping bill and the benefit is calculated at the ad valorem rate and per unit cap in the system by DBK Officers along with Drawback. (The Rates are notified by DGFT under Appendix 4R)
5. It must noted that the benefit will be calculated in the shipping bill with the actual ad valorem rates but not exceeding per unit value caps if any, on value equal to declared export FOB value of the said goods or up to 1.5 times the market price of the said goods, whichever is less.
6. The owner of the scrip (either the original exporter beneficiary or any other IEC to whom the scrip was transferred on ICEGATE portal) can use these duty scrips in the Bill of Entry for the payment of the duty of customs leviable under the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975) i.e., Basic Customs Duty (BCD) only by giving the details of the scrips in the license table of the Bill of Entry.
The scheme code to be used in Bill of Entry for these scrips would be “RD” along with Notification No as “RODTEP” and The scheme code to be used in Bill of Entry for these scrips would be “RS” along with Notification No as “ROSCTL”.
Exporters must take the note of the above new facility for the creation and usage on the RoDTEP and RoSCTL e-Scrip Process.
