Government announced the extension of the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme for exports of apparel, garments and made-ups until September 30, this year, or until the scheme is approved under the 16th Finance Commission cycle, whichever comes earlier. Operational since 7th March 2019, the RoSCTL Scheme aims to rebate all embedded State and Central taxes and levies not covered under any other scheme. The Scheme is based on the principle of zero-rating of exports, ensuring remission of unrefunded taxes embedded in exported products. The Ministry of Textiles said that the scheme serves as a key support mechanism for the textile export sector, particularly benefiting MSME exporters, who constitute a major share of its beneficiaries.
