DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New Online RODTEP System for SME Exports

## Key points In a move to boost liquidity for small exporters, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has introduced an enhanced digital interface for the RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) scheme. As per DGFT Trade Notice No. 84/2026-27 dated 2026-08-10, the new system integrates real-time shipping bill verification with the ICEGATE ledger, significantly reducing the turnaround time for credit scrip issuance. ## What this means for exporters Exporters across various sectors, particularly those in the manufacturing and SME segments, can now track their RoDTEP claims at each stage through the portal. The update eliminates manual discrepancies that previously led to delayed scrip generation. By linking the application directly with GSTN and Customs data, the DGFT ensures that the 'duty remission' reaches the exporter's ledger within 72 hours of the EGM (Export General Manifest) filing. ## Who should act now Any exporter currently facing pending RoDTEP scrips or those planning new shipments should utilize the 'Scrip Management Module' on the DGFT website immediately. Proper documentation of embedded taxes is crucial for maximizing the refund rate.
