PAIN POINTS OF RODTEP

■ RoDTEP is restricted to only input embedded taxes, thus the rate of rebate is lower than MEIS.

■ The range varies from 0.5 per cent to 4.3 per cent depending upon the sector.

■ All sectors belonging to iron and steel and pharmaceuticals are excluded from this scheme.

■ Also if any individual faces higher duties which are higher than the rebate which is granted in that aspect, representations can be made to trade bodies/ export councils and RoDTEP committee for determination of ceiling rates.
