<h1>Government Boosts Exporter Support with Timely Tax Refunds, Duty Drawbacks, and Incentives to Enhance Competitiveness.</h1> The government is prioritizing timely tax refunds for exporters, addressing concerns from exporters' associations. Measures include duty drawbacks to offset taxes on inputs for export goods, rebates on excise duty, and CENVAT credit refunds. Exporters in sectors like garments, handicrafts, leather, and textiles benefit from duty-free import entitlements based on export performance. Additional incentives include duty exemption schemes, rebate of service tax, and income tax deductions on export profits. These initiatives, administered by the Director General of Foreign Trade and the Department of Commerce, aim to boost export competitiveness and efficiency.
