ICEGATE issues Advisory for E-scrip to avail Export Incentive Schemes [Read Advisory]

The ICEGATE, CBIC has issued an advisory for e-scrip to avail export incentive schemes like Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (“RoSCTL”) and Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (“RoDTEP”).

Escrip module is developed by ICEGATE, CBIC to provide a digital service to exporters to avail benefits defined under various incentive schemes like RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) and RoSCTL (Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies). The scheme provides for rebate of Central, State and Local duties/taxes/ levies which are not refunded under any other duty remission schemes. The broad provisions are as under:

I. To avail the scheme exporter shall make a claim for RoSCTL/RoDTEP in the shipping bill by making a declaration.

II. Once EGM is filed, claim will be processed by Customs.

III. Once processed, a scroll with all individual Shipping Bills for admissible amount would be generated and made available in the users account at ICEGATE

IV. User can create an escrip account under Escrip tab. This can be done by the IECs who have registered on ICEGATE with a DSC.

V. Exporter can log in into his account and generate scrip after selecting the relevant shipping bills.

It has been decided that for the Chapters 61, 62 and 63, RoSCTL would continue to be given beyond December 31, 2020 and till December 31, 2024 instead of RoDTEP. Implementation of RoSCTL scheme in Custom Automated System has been developed with details in Annexure B (Page 18).

As of now the users can log into their ICEGATE account and create the escrip Account, as scrip generation provision will be made functional on the issuance corresponding notification by the department and availability of the budget. Implementation of RoDTEP scheme in Custom Automated System has been developed. Details attached as Annexure A (Page 16).

This advisory is a complete step-by-step guide for the user to create an escrip account, generate scrips and transfer the scrips to any other IEC to avail the benefit of the scheme.
