<h1>Government Extends DEPB Export Incentive Scheme by Three Months; Transition to Duty Drawback System Planned.</h1> The government has extended the Duty Entitlement Pass Book (DEPB) scheme, a popular export incentive, for an additional three months until September. Initially set to expire on June 30, the scheme will eventually be phased out and replaced by a duty drawback system. A committee has been appointed to determine the all-India drawback rates for items currently under DEPB. Exporters will also have the option to request brand rate fixation.
