RoDTEP Scheme – BCD & SWS Reimbursement?

[rajashekharaiah AM]

Can someone please confirm whether RoDTEP scheme gives reimbursement for Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS)?

I heard these are not covered, but I want to be sure.

Your understanding is right.

While RoDTEP provides reimbursement for cetian taxes and duties, it does not cover Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and Social Welfare Surcharge ( SWS).

[Shilpi Jain]

Duty drawback is for the customs duties.

RoDTEP is for other non-cenvatable taxes like excise, VAT, etc.
