DGFT restores full RoDTEP rates for exporters from 23 March 2026
“DGFT Restores Full RoDTEP Rates for Exporters from 23 March 2026”
The Government of India, through the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), has issued Notification No. 66/2025-26 dated 23 March 2026 announcing the restoration of benefits under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme.
This notification has been issued under the authority granted by Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992 and in accordance with provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023.
1. Restoration of RoDTEP Benefits
The government has reinstated the RoDTEP rates and value caps applicable to export products.
- The rates and caps will be the same as those that were applicable on 22 February 2026.
- These restored rates will apply to all eligible export products.
- As clarified through a corrigendum, the restored benefits will be available from 23 March 2026 to 31 March 2026.
2. Withdrawal of Earlier Restriction
Earlier, Notification No. 60/2025-26 dated 23 February 2026 had limited RoDTEP benefits to 50% of the notified rate.
With the issuance of the present notification:
- That restriction has been withdrawn.
- Exporters will now receive full RoDTEP benefits at the rates prevailing on 22 February 2026.
3. Supersession of Previous Notification
The new notification replaces:
- Notification No. 60/2025-26 dated 23 February 2026
- The related Corrigendum dated 24 February 2026
However, actions taken under the earlier notification before this change will remain valid.
4. Corrigendum Issued
A corrigendum was released on the same date to correct the effective date of restoration.
The corrected position is that full RoDTEP benefits resume from 23 March 2026, rather than the earlier mentioned date.
✅ Practical Impact for Exporters
- Exporters can again claim full RoDTEP incentive rates.
- The benefit applies only for the period 23 March 2026 to 31 March 2026.
- The applicable rates and value caps will be those listed in Appendix 4R and Appendix 4RE of the Foreign Trade Policy.
