The RoSCTL License (Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies) is a vital export incentive scheme under the Government of India’s Foreign Trade Policy, designed specifically for the textile and apparel sector. It provides exporters with a rebate on various state and central taxes that are not refunded under any other mechanism, ensuring Indian textile exports remain competitive in the global market.
With the RoSCTL scheme, exporters can claim rebates for taxes paid on inputs like electricity, fuel, mandi tax, and embedded levies, which indirectly increase production costs. By receiving these rebates in the form of transferable duty credit scrips, exporters can either use them to pay customs duties or sell them in the open market for additional revenue.
Launched in March 2019 by the Ministry of Textiles and the DGFT, the RoSCTL Scheme replaced the earlier Rebate of State Levies (RoSL). It applies to exports of garments and made-ups covered under Chapters 61, 62, and 63 of the ITC HS code list.
