The landscape has transformed dramatically from physical paper certificates to the sophisticated Electronic Duty Credit Ledger system, with e-scrips now dominating the export incentive ecosystem. While legacy schemes like MEIS and SEIS have sunset, the RoDTEP and RoSCTL schemes remain active, with the government extending RoDTEP benefits until March 31, 2026, covering over 10,750 product categories. This digital evolution unlocks immediate liquidity benefits for exporters who can now monetize their incentives faster than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #0073aa; background: #f0f8ff; padding: 15px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #0073aa; font-size: 18px; margin: 0 0 8px 0; display: inline-block;\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"display: inline-block; margin: 0 0 0 10px; padding-left: 18px; vertical-align: top;\">\n<li>Duty Credit Scrips are now fully digital &#8216;e-scrips&#8217; held in the ICEGATE ledger, primarily issued under the RoDTEP scheme.<\/li>\n<li>The RoDTEP scheme has been officially extended until March 31, 2026, ensuring continued tax remission benefits for exporters.<\/li>\n<li>These scrips can offset Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on imports but are strictly prohibited for paying IGST or other cess levies.<\/li>\n<li>RoDTEP e-scrips are valid for 2 years from generation and can be sold tax-free (GST exempt) to other importers if you cannot use them.<\/li>\n<li>Scrip generation is automated based on the &#8216;Scroll&#8217; generated by Customs after the Export General Manifest (EGM) is filed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><b>What is a Duty Credit Scrip?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A duty credit scrip is essentially a credit note issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) that allows exporters to offset their import duties on subsequent purchases of goods. The fundamental principle behind these scrips is &#8216;remission&#8217;, the government refunds unrebated taxes such as fuel taxes, electricity duties, and other levies embedded in exported products that cannot be claimed through regular input tax credit mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The distinction between legacy scrips and modern e-scrips represents a paradigm shift in how exporters manage their incentives. Traditional MEIS and SEIS scrips required physical endorsement, manual transfers, and paper-based tracking. Modern e-scrips exist purely in digital form within the ICEGATE electronic credit ledger, enabling instant transfers and real-time balance tracking. These scrips are not merely tax refunds but freely transferable and tradable financial instruments that create a secondary market for import duty offsets.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Aspect<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Traditional Scrips (MEIS\/SEIS)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Modern E-Scrips (RoDTEP\/RoSCTL)<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Format<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical paper certificates requiring endorsement<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital entries in ICEGATE electronic ledger<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Issuance Mode<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manual application and processing through DGFT<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automated generation post-EGM filing<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Validity<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18-24 months from issue date<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24 months from generation date<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Transfer Process<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical endorsement and submission<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online transfer with OTP authentication<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Risk of Loss<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High (physical damage\/misplacement)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimal (secure digital storage)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>Key Duty Credit Scrip Schemes Active in 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three primary schemes currently issue duty credit scrips or e-scrips to eligible exporters, each targeting specific sectors and export scenarios with distinct benefit structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Insert Infographic: Visual timeline showing RoDTEP (covering manufacturing, agriculture, and general exports), RoSCTL (exclusively for textiles and apparel), and EPCG (for capital goods imports) with their respective sector coverage and benefit percentages]<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products)<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functions as the flagship export incentive scheme that replaced MEIS from January 1, 2021<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issues e-scrips directly credited to exporters&#8217; electronic ledgers on the ICEGATE portal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covers 10,780 harmonized system lines for domestic tariff area exports with government allocation of Rs. 18,233 crore for FY 2025-26<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicable across diverse sectors including textiles, agriculture, engineering goods, and chemicals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rates vary from 0.5% to 4.3% of FOB value depending on the product category<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #0073aa; background: #f0f8ff; padding: 15px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #0073aa; font-size: 18px; margin: 0;\">Did You Know?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On February 23, 2026, RoDTEP rates were slashed by 50% for most products\u2014except for agricultural and processed food exports.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><b>RoSCTL (Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RoSCTL operates as a specialized scheme exclusively for the apparel and made-up textile sectors, functioning parallel to RoDTEP but with sector-specific benefits. The scheme compensates for state and central taxes not refunded through any other mechanism, with rates ranging from 3.5% to 5.5% of FOB value. Like RoDTEP, RoSCTL scrips are tradeable electronic instruments that can be used to offset import duties or sold to other importers requiring duty payment instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) Scheme<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EPCG duty credit scrips serve a distinct purpose from reward-based schemes, primarily issued for refunding basic customs duty paid in cash on capital goods imports. This scheme operates on an export obligation model where importers commit to achieving specific export targets over six years. The scrips under EPCG are typically generated only in specific circumstances such as regularization of defaults or refund scenarios, differentiating them from the automatic generation process of RoDTEP and RoSCTL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background-color: #1a73e8; color: #ffffff; font-weight: 800; padding: 7px 15px; border-radius: 7px; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; white-space: nowrap;\" href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/international-payment-gateway-india\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internationalpayments\">Explore Razorpay&#8217;s Global Payment Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Do E-Scrips Work?

This declaration cannot be added retrospectively, making it crucial to select the appropriate scheme code during export documentation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Processing of the Export General Manifest (EGM):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once goods are exported, the shipping line or airline files the EGM with customs, confirming the actual export of declared goods.

E-scrips can be transferred between any Import Export Code (IEC) holders through the ICEGATE portal&#8217;s secure digital infrastructure. The transfer process requires both parties to authenticate the transaction using OTP verification, ensuring security and preventing unauthorized transfers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market dynamics reveal that scrips typically trade at 97-98% of face value, reflecting the time value of money and administrative costs. This discount creates opportunities for importers to reduce their duty costs while providing exporters with immediate liquidity. Scrip traders and aggregators facilitate bulk transactions, often purchasing large volumes from multiple exporters to meet institutional demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The transfer process involves logging into ICEGATE, selecting specific scrips for transfer, entering the buyer&#8217;s IEC, and completing dual OTP authentication. Both parties receive confirmation notifications, and the scrips instantly reflect in the buyer&#8217;s ledger. Exporters should maintain transaction records for tax compliance and consider the timing of sales to optimize cash flow management.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tax Implications on Scrips (GST &amp; Income Tax)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tax treatment of duty credit scrips requires careful attention to distinguish between using scrips and selling them. The GST Council clarified that duty credit scrips under HSN 4907 attract nil GST, making their sale exempt from GST obligations. This exemption applies specifically to the transfer of scrips between IEC holders, not to the underlying export transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an income tax perspective, revenue generated from scrip sales constitutes business income and must be included in the total turnover for tax calculations. Exporters should maintain proper documentation showing the scrip generation, holding period, and sale proceeds. The cost basis for scrips is typically zero, making the entire sale amount taxable as business profit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical compliance considerations include ensuring proper invoicing for scrip sales (mentioning the GST exemption), maintaining digital trails of all transfers, and reconciling scrip income in GST returns under exempt supplies. Tax regulations evolve frequently, making it essential to verify current notifications before executing large transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Maximize Export Profits: Save on Payments Too<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Duty Credit Scrips reduce your tax burden, the Razorpay MoneySaver Export Account cuts your transaction costs by offering local accounts in 160+ countries (like the US, UK, and Europe).
