Q. Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme, which was seen in the news, is associated with which ministry?
Answer:
Ministry of Commerce & Industry
Notes: The Centre has no plans to modify the RoDTEP scheme for exporters, despite US anti-subsidy duties. The issue lies in exporters' inability to provide adequate documents to US investigators, not the scheme's WTO compatibility. Launched on January 1, 2021, by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, RoDTEP replaces the MEIS to refund non-recoverable embedded taxes and boost exports. The scheme aims to address previously low export volumes by facilitating duty and tax remissions for exporters.
