Dear Member,               

Kindly refer to Council’s Circular No.ES/414/2018-19 dated 13th March, 2019 in which Ministry of Textiles had notified a new scheme called Scheme for Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) on export of garments and made-ups vide Notification No. 14/26/2016-IT (Vol II) dated 7th March, 2019, w.e.f. 7th March, 2019.   

In this regard, we would like to inform you that Ministry of Textiles has now issued Notification No. 14/26/2016-IT(Vol.-II) dated 22nd March, 2019 clarifying about the issue of scrips under RoSCTL Scheme in order to overcome the transitional difficulties faced by the exporters.

Following has been clarified by the Ministry of textiles–

  1. DGFT will issue the scrips for the exports made from 2019-20 onwards under the new RoSCTL Scheme (i.e. 1st April, 2019 onwards).
  1. For the exports made during 2018-19 under the new RoSCTL Scheme (.e. 7th March, 2019 to 31st March, 2019)-
  • Department of Revenue will approve and disburse the rebate at new rates as per the existing mechanism of old RoSL Scheme from the funds available for the old RoSL Scheme.
  • If due to shortage of funds, D/o Revenue is unable to disburse, D/o Revenue will inform the DGFT after 31st March, 2019 and DGFT will issue the scrips for such exports.
  1. For the exports made under the old RoSL Scheme (Prior to 7th March, 2019)–
  • D/o Revenue will continue to disburse as per the existing mechanism of old RoSL Scheme.
  • In case of shortage of funds, D/o Revenue will inform DGFT after 31st March, 2019 and DGFT will issue the scrips for such exports made under the old RoSL Scheme.
  1. D/o Revenue will provide suitable allocation for issue of all such scrips from 2019-20 onwards in respect of (i), (ii) and (iii) above.
