India Ministry of Textiles extends RoSCTL Scheme until December 2026

India’s Ministry of Textiles has extended the RoSCTL Scheme for the export of apparel, garments, and made-ups for an additional three months. The extension will run from October 1 through December 31, 2026, maintaining existing rates and guidelines.

Operational since March 2019, the scheme provides remission for eligible embedded State and Central taxes and levies that are not otherwise refunded. By adhering to the principle of zero-rating exports, the program aims to prevent domestic tax incidences from burdening exported goods, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of the Indian textile sector.

During the 2025–26 period, the scheme supported more than 15,400 exporters across 444 districts, with the majority of beneficiaries being Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The extension is intended to provide policy continuity and predictability for exporters in a competitive global trading environment.
