DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New RoDTEP Scrip Transfer Limits Updated

## Key points The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has released Trade Notice No. 18/2026-27 on August 08, 2026, introducing a revised mechanism for the transfer of Electronic Duty Credit Ledger (EDCL) scrips. To prevent fraudulent transfers and enhance portal security, the DGFT has capped the daily transfer value of RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) scrips for new status holders for the first 90 days of scrip issuance. ## What this means for exporters For SME exporters relying on the RoDTEP scheme to manage cash flow, this notice requires a more strategic approach to scrip monetization. You can no longer transfer large volumes of duty credits in a single transaction immediately after issuance. As per the DGFT Trade Notice dated 08-08-2026, the move is designed to protect exporters from unauthorized portal access while ensuring the 'Business Continuity Plan' remains robust. Exporters must ensure their RCMC and ICEGATE credentials are up to date to avoid transfer rejections. ## Who should act now Exporters planning to sell their RoDTEP scrips in the secondary market should review their transfer schedules immediately.
