NEW DELHI - The textiles ministry Wednesday extended the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies or RoSCTL scheme for a period of three months, from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31. The scheme was due to end on Wednesday and has been extended at the existing rates.
The scheme, operationalised since 2019, provides remission of eligible embedded state and central taxes and levies that are not refunded through other mechanisms. During 2025–26 (Apr-Mar), the scheme benefited more than 15,400 exporters across over 444 districts, with the beneficiary base comprising predominantly micro, small and medium enterprises, the ministry said in a press release.
The scheme is anchored in the principle of zero-rating of exports, and seeks to ensure that domestic tax incidences do not burden exported products, thereby boosting the global competitiveness of India's apparel and made-ups sector. "Its wide geographical reach underscores the Scheme's role in supporting a dispersed manufacturing ecosystem and strengthening the participation of small and medium exporters in global markets," it added.
The government is estimated to have spent INR 100.10 billion on RoSCTL in FY26, according to the revised estimate given in the FY27 Budget. The extension will ensure policy continuity and predictability for exporters, while sustaining the competitiveness of India's labour-intensive and value-added apparel and made-ups sector in an increasingly competitive global trading environment, it said.
