Export Incentive Claims.
Exporters can recover part of the duties and taxes built into their products through duty drawback, RoDTEP and, for apparel and made-ups, RoSCTL. Each claim starts with the right declaration in the shipping bill and ends with a customs scroll, an e-scrip or a bank credit. We manage that cycle so eligible claims are made, tracked and used.
Typically, drawback reaches your bank and RoDTEP or RoSCTL scrolls are generated within a few weeks of shipment, driven by EGM filing and customs processing. Brand rate applications and recovery of older pending claims take longer and depend on departmental queries.

Export Incentive Claims, step by step.
Typically, drawback reaches your bank and RoDTEP or RoSCTL scrolls are generated within a few weeks of shipment, driven by EGM filing and customs processing. Brand rate applications and recovery of older pending claims take longer and depend on departmental queries.
- 1
Eligibility mapping
We map your products' tariff lines to the drawback schedule and to the RoDTEP and RoSCTL appendices, noting value caps and excluded categories.
- 2
Shipping bill declarations
We make sure each shipping bill carries the right drawback serial number and the RoDTEP or RoSCTL claim declaration, since a claim missed at this stage is hard to recover.
- 3
Scroll tracking
After the export general manifest is filed, we track customs scroll generation for each shipping bill and follow up on queries or suspended claims.
- 4
E-scrip generation
We generate RoDTEP and RoSCTL e-scrips in your ICEGATE ledger and advise on using them against basic customs duty or transferring them to another importer.
- 5
Brand rate and reconciliation
Where the all-industry drawback rate does not reflect your input costs, we prepare a brand rate application, and we reconcile every incentive received with your books.
- 6
Annual reporting
We prepare the RoDTEP annual return on the DGFT portal where your claims make it applicable.
