The Ministry of Textiles has extended the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme for exports of apparel, garments and made-ups by another three months up to December 31, 2026.

In a statement, the ministry said the scheme has been extended further by three months "from 1 October to 31 December 2026, at the existing rates and under the prevailing guidelines".

Operational since 7 March 2019, the Scheme provides remission of eligible embedded State and Central taxes and levies that are not refunded through other mechanisms.

"The extension will ensure policy continuity and predictability for exporters, while sustaining the competitiveness of India's labour-intensive and value-added apparel and made-ups sector in an increasingly competitive global trading environment," an official statement said.

During 2025-26, the Scheme benefited more than 15,400 exporters across over 444 districts, with the beneficiary base comprising predominantly MSMEs.

Its wide geographical reach underscores the Scheme's role in supporting a dispersed manufacturing ecosystem and strengthening the participation of small and medium exporters in global markets.
