Duty Drawback (DBK) refunds customs/excise duties paid on inputs used in exported goods. RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products) refunds embedded taxes not covered by any other scheme — state VAT, mandi tax, fuel levies. Both can be claimed simultaneously on the same shipment.
After filing the shipping bill on ICEGATE with proper declarations, RoDTEP/Drawback credits are typically transferred to your ICEGATE ledger within 7–30 working days. Track via the ICEGATE portal under "Duty Drawback/RoDTEP" status. Scrips can then be transferred or used immediately.
Yes — RoDTEP and RoSCTL scrips are freely transferable in the ICEGATE system. Importers buy these scrips at 2–5% discount from face value to pay their customs duty, giving exporters immediate liquidity. There is an active secondary market for these scrips among importers and export-import traders.
