RoSCTL SCHEME

The Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme is entitled to the export of apparel and made-ups only. It’s an export Incentive Scheme that provides duty credit transferable and sellable scrips on the FOB value of export.

At the World Trade Organisation (WTO), a complaint has been filed against the Indian Government by the USA. The USA has claimed that the Government of India (GOI) grants undue benefits to the Indian exporter under various export incentive schemes, such as the MEIS scheme, which is against the WTO rules and regulations. In the future, the scheme would be extended to benefit all the sectors.

RoSCTL Scheme was approved by the cabinet as it extended rebates all state and central taxes for government and made-ups. This replaced the Rebate of State Levies (RoSL) Scheme which only gave rebates of state taxes.

Additional Ad-Hoc Incentive under Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme

An additional AD-HOC Incentive of 1% on Free-On-Board (FOB) has been announced by the Ministry of Textile (MoT).

This additional Adhoc Incentive is estimated by the difference between the new Rebate on State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme and the old Rebate on State Levies (RoSL) and the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS).

The benefit provided under the RoSCTL Scheme

Earlier, the rebate was directly credited into the exporter’s bank account under the RoSL Scheme as specified by the Ministry of Textiles just like the Duty Drawback.

However, the RoSCTL Scheme provides benefits along with additional ad-hoc incentives in the form of duty credit scrips like the MEIS scrips. The RoSCTL scrips are freely transferable in nature. The RoSCTL License or scrip can be used as a mode of payment of import duties or can even be sold at premium rates in the open market.

Points to keep in mind about the RoSCTL Scheme

  • The rebate under the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme is issued subject to the condition that foreign remittance for the shipment made will be realized in the stipulated time frame as per Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

  • All the RoSCTL Scheme benefits have to be returned with 15% annual interest if the sales proceeds aren’t realized within the specified time.

  • The exporter must maintain all the original documents including the shipping bills for a time period of about 3 years from the date of issuance of the RoSCTL scrips.

  • The applicant would be liable to return the entire benefits along with the applicable interest if they aren’t able to submit all the original documents required by the licensing authority.

FAQ

The official website of DGFT has still not laid out any detailed procedure to claim the benefits under RoSCTL. The issuance of scrips and their utility is still being figured out. Until the release of the details, the government has decided that one can file the claims for RoSCTL by filling it under the existing scheme codes for the erstwhile RoSL

The Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme is only available to the export of made-ups and apparel only. It is an incentive scheme for export that provides duty credit transferable and sellable scrips on the FOB value of export.

RoSCTL Scheme is approved by the cabinet as it extended rebates all state and central taxes for government and made-ups. This replaced the Rebate of State Levies (RoSL) Scheme which only gave rebates of state taxes.

The major difference between RosSCTL and RoSL is that under the RoSL Scheme, there is no benefit on Levies and the central tax. However, in RoSCTL an exporter will be granted a rebate on both Central and State tax as well as on Levies from DGFT.
