New Delhi: The Union Textiles ministry has extended the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) scheme for exports of apparel, garments and made-ups till September 30, 2026. The extension comes without any change in existing guidelines.
Introduced in March 2019, the RoSCTL scheme aims to refund embedded state and central taxes and levies that are not covered under other mechanisms. Based on the principle of zero-rating of exports, it ensures that exporters are not burdened with unrebated taxes, thereby improving the global competitiveness of Indian textile products.
Officials said the scheme has been particularly beneficial for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which form a significant portion of apparel and made-up exporters.
Alongside, the government has also continued the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme from April 1 to September 30, 2026. The RoDTEP scheme covers textile segments not included under RoSCTL.
The combined continuation of both schemes ensures broader support across the textile value chain.
The move is expected to boost export competitiveness, provide policy stability to exporters, and reinforce India’s position in the global textile market, especially amid evolving international trade
dynamics.
