Govt waives RCMC requirement for key export remission schemes
NEW DELHI : In a recent clarification, the Indian government has announced that exporters are not required to obtain a Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) to claim benefits under certain post-export remissionbased schemes.
These schemes include the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL), Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products (RoDTEP), and duty drawback.
The Commerce Ministry issued a trade notice on October 4, which was subsequently uploaded to the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) portal. This notice provided clarity on the RCMC requirements for schemes under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023. The ministry explicitly stated that the RCMC requirement does not apply to the aforementioned remission-based schemes, allowing exporters to claim benefits without obtaining this certificate.
It is important to note that under the new FTP , an RCMC is still mandatory for exporters applying for authorisation to import or export most items, with the exception of those listed as ‘Restricted’ in the ITC (HS). The certificate is also required for applying for other benefits or concessions under the FTP The ministry emphasised that these measures are distinct from the post-export remission-based schemes.
The RCMC serves as validation for exporters dealing with
products registered with government-authorised agencies or organisations.
Issued for a period of five financial years, the certificate is provided by Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), Commodity boards, Development Authorities, or other competent authorities in India, as per DGFT guidelines. To obtain an RCMC, exporters must declare their primary business in the application submitted to the relevant registering authority.
The application process requires an active ImporterExporter Code (IEC), an updated IEC profile, and a linked Digital Signature token or Aadhaar e-Signature for submission.
The RoDTEP scheme offers exporters rebates on central, state, and local duties or taxes on exported goods that were not refunded under any other scheme. Complementing this, the RoSCTL scheme compensates for state and central taxes and levies, in addition to the duty drawback scheme, specifically for exports of apparel, garments, and made-ups.
Earlier this year, the government approved the continuation of the RoSCTL scheme until March 31, 2026.
Additionally, the RoDTEP scheme has been extended for another year, until September 30, 2025, albeit with lower refund rates ranging from 0.3 percent to 3.9 percent, down from the previous 0.5 percent to 4.3 percent.
Registration certicate not mandatory for exporters seeking benets: DGFT
NEW DELHI: The Commerce Ministry's arm DGFT has clarified that registration-cum-membership certificate is not mandatory for exporters to seek benefits under schemes like duty drawback and remission of state levies.
According to the Foreign Trade P o l i c y, a R e g i s t r a t i o n - c u mMembership Certificate (RCMC) is required for exporters in order to avail benefits under the policy Holding the certificate can also help exporters in availing benefits with respect to customs and excise.
The certificate is issued by export
promotion councils and commodity boards.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has said that schemes such as duty drawback, rebate of state and central taxes and levies (RoSCTL) and remission of duties and taxes on export products (RoDTEP) fall under the category of remission-based schemes.
These schemes are aimed at remitting duties or taxes on exported goods.
F
requirement of an RCMC does not apply Exporters can claim benefits
under these schemes without obtaining an RCMC," the DGFT has said in a trade notice.
In a separate order, the DGFT has clarified that import/ re-import of "Exhibits and Samples" for demo, display, exhibition and participation in fairs or participation in India or abroad shall be regulated under specified norms of the foreign trade policy.
They would not be subjected to the requirement of import authorisation
Monitoring Systems subject to other compliance, it added.
Ports Ministry issues Draft of Migration of Tariff Guidelines for Comments
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MOPSW) has issued a draft of the Migration of Tariff Guidelines, 2024, for comments The guidelines are for adoption of Market Determined Tariff for PPP projects under Guidelines for Regulation of Tariff 2005, Guidelines for Upfront Tariff Setting for PP P rojects 2008, Guidelines for Determination of T a r i f f f o r P r o j e c t s 2 0 1 3 &
Tariff Guidelines 2019
competitive landscape, but the evolving market necessitated deregulation. The migration was deemed pertinent since, with the transition to the land-lord port model and increased private sector participation, the utility of tariff regulations (and fixation) had diminished In addition, intra-port
parity and competition, parity with r e s p e c t t o n o n - m a j o r p o r t
consistent user experience and a level playing field for PPP operators dictated this transition
To address this disparity, a committee was formed by the MOPSW for deliberation regarding the migration of existing PPP concessionaires to a market-driven tariff regime as prescribed in Tariff Guidelines 2021.
JSW Infrastructure likely to win Murbe Port deal costing Rs 4,259 crore : Sources
MUMBAI: Just w e e k s b e f o r e Maharashtra goes to polls to elect a new Government, the state cabinet led by Eknath Shinde has approved a suo moto p r o p o s a l s u b m i t t e d b y J S W Infrastructure Ltd to build a new port at Murbe in Maharashtra’s Palghar district with an investment
of some Rs4,259 crores, multiple sources said.
The cabinet approval has not yet been made public and the state Government is expected to issue a letter of award to JSW Infrastructure for developing the new port for a concession period of 70 years in the next few days, a top official in the Maharashtra Government said. S a j j a n J i n d a l - l e d J S W
Infrastructure had quoted a royalty of Rs11 per metric ton across cargo types while seeking approval from the state Government to develop the new port, located hardly 40 kms away from the Vadhavan Port being developed by the Union Government in the same district through a joint venture between Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority and Maharashtra Maritime Board.
India needs Rs. 6-7 trillion to produce and export green aviation fuel by FY40 : Deloitte
NEW DELHI: India can become a key exporter of sustainable aviation fuel producing 8-10 million tonnes by 2039-40 by investing Rs. 6-7 trillion towards the effort, consulting firm Deloitte said in a report.
India would also be able to create more than a million jobs and reduce its oil import bills by $5-7 billion annually, it said The investment would also bolster farmers’ income by 10-15% as agricultural residue can be used for producing sustainable jet fuel, providing an alternative to the current practice of burning
crop waste, Deloitte said.
Sustainable aviation fuel refers to the blending of liquid biofuel produced sustainably from feedstock such as used oil and agricultural residues or synthetically through a process that captures carbon directly from the air, according to Deloitte.
Currently, Indian airliners have flown with as much as a 2.5% blend of sustainable aviation fuel, which is much lower than Deloitte’s estimates of 10-15% blended fuel by FY40.
Deloitte backed its study by pointing at growth in Indian aviation
due to infrastructural investments, aircraft capacity addition, increasing tier 2/3 connectivity, and evolving preference for air travel.
The global consultancy major also forecast that the share of aviation in India’s transport emissions would double from about 5% now to 8-10% by 2030 as road transportation becomes cleaner with the Government pushing for greater adoption of electric vehicles.
Global efforts to decarbonise the aviation sector, however, will only get the job partly done, Deloitte said.
Indian exporters fear costlier logistics, demand slump for basmati exports if West Asian conflict spreads
NEW DELHI: As hostilities
b e t w e e n I s r a e l a n d L e b a n o n intensify, Indian exporters are increasingly concerned that the ongoing conflict may extend to other parts of the Middle East. Iran’s recent aerial attacks on Israel have added to the unease. While many exporters are adopting a “wait and watch” stance, they fear a decline in demand and rising logistical challenges should the conflict escalate further.
Dr. Ajay Sahai, Director General of the Federation of Indian Exporters Organization (FIEO), warns that any further escalation could cause setbacks in logistics Freight charges had only recently begun to ease, but another surge could be looming. Sahai highlighted that demand for commodities like
basmati rice might fall if Iran, a key market, is forced into wartime rationing for its citizens.
With Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries being important trading partners for India, Sahai expressed concerns that any disruption to oil transport routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, could drive up India’s crude oil import costs.
Although Russian crude has offset India’s energy expenses during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Sahai notes t h a t t h
s e s u p p
u l d b e jeopardized as the Houthis have entered the conflict near the Red Sea Alternatives, such as sourcing Russian oil via the Strait of Malacca, would increasetransittimesandcosts
Vipul Shah, Chairman of the Gems and Jewellery Exports Promotion
Council (GJEPC), explained that so far, the conflict has had no direct impact on India’s gems and jewellery exports. Israel, he said, isn’t a major importer of Indian gems, as the country has its own diamond-cutting
significant market for Indian gems, and demand could be hit hard if the conflict worsens.
He added that the industry is bracing for potential impacts if the conflict spreads across the region, which could severely affect total exports to the Middle East.
For now, the situation remains uncertain, but exporters across multiple sectors are preparing for possible disruptions in the coming weeks.
Centre eases export norms for some dual use software, tech items to 41 nations
NEW DELHI: The government has notified rules easing the export of 36 items including software and technology from an Indian parent company to its foreign subsidiary in 41 countries, under a policy for dualuse products.
Dual use goods are those which have both industrial and military uses and fall in the Special chemicals, organisms, materials, equipment and technologies (SCOMET) category The countries for which the easing is done includesRussia,theUKandtheUS

India eases certain conditions for UAE in bilateral investment treaty: GTRI
MUMBAI: India has eased certain conditions for UAE in the bilateral investment treaty by including portfolio investments and reduction in the local remedies exhaustion period from five years to three years in the pact, economic think tank GTRI said on Monday.
T h e I n d i a - U A E B i l a t e r a l Investment Treaty (BIT) came into force on August 31 this year
The model BIT requires investors to attempt to resolve disputes through India’s legal system for at least five years before seeking international arbitration.
In contrast, the India-UAE BIT reduces this period to three years, giving investors quicker access to Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS).
“While this makes the treaty more
investor-friendly, it also weakens India’s ability to settle disputes d o m e s t i c
l y, i n
e
n
t h e likelihood of arbitration cases that could challenge India’s regulatory d e c i s i o n s , ” t h e G l o b a l Tr a d e Research Initiative (GTRI) said in a statement.
It added that local remedies exhaustion means that investors must first try to resolve their disputes using the legal system of the host country before they can take the matter to international arbitration.
“Reducing the local remedies exhaustion period to three years weakens India’s ability to resolve disputes internally, increasing the likelihood of cases being brought to inter national arbitration,”
GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said
He added that this shift may lead t
arbitration proceedings, which could c h a
y decisions on a broader spectrum of investment issues.
It signals a softer stance on the protection of sovereign decisionmaking compared to the Model BIT, he said.
India negotiates these treaties with other countries based on the Model BIT text.
Further, it said that unlike India’s Model BIT, which excludes portfolio investments such as stocks and bonds, the India-UAE BIT includes them as protected investments.
India also makes 5 per cent of its total Overseas Direct Investments in UAE to the tune of USD 15.26 billion from April 2000 to August 2024.
Ships leased from GIFT City doubles in last 2 months
GANDHINAGAR: In the last two months, ship leasing services in GIFT City have picked up steam with the number of ships leased from this enclave in Gujarat having doubled during the July-August 2024 period, said officials.
Ship leasing began in GIFT City in June 2023, after MV Ripley Pride, a bulk carrier, became the first ship to be leased by Ripley Shipping India IFSC Pvt Ltd. However, by the end of June 2024, only six ships were leased from GIFT City in the last one year. However, by the end of August 2024, the numbers have doubled to 12, said officials at International Financial Services Authority (IFSCA) without divulging numbers of leases made by 16 lessors that have set up ship leasing entities in GIFT City
While Shipping Corporation of India was the latest entity to open
a ship leasing entity in GIFT City, applications are now starting to pour in. According to official data, Seaquest M a r i n e I F S C P v t L t d h a s i n September sought permission to carry on business of operating leases of voyage charters Midas Global Marine and Transworld Sea-connect IFSC Pvt Ltd are among the other entities who have either applied or are in the process of opening their respective ship leasing units in GIFT City
This year alone, Japan’s Mitsui OSK, Poseidon Leasing IFSC Ltd and Reliance Industries Ltd are some of the companies that have opened ship leasing entities in GIFT City. “Ship leasing and aircraft leasing are two business segments that were non-existent in India four years ago. Today, these segments are growing and have started to create ripples in
the global ship leasing market,” said an IFSCA official.
As of April 2024, the global ship leasing market was estimated at $15 billion The North American region inclusive of the US , Canada and Mexico dominates the ship leasing market, occupying 38 per cent of the market share. Europe and Asia Pacific region occupies 30 and 24 per cent of the market.
Aircraft leasing
Along with shipleasing, aircraft leasing from GIFT City too has gained impetus. Compared to the 134 aircraft assets leased at the end of June 2024, the number of leased aviation assets have risen by 15 per cent to 154 which includes 37 aircraft and helicopters, 48 aircraft engines and the remaining g
Currently, there are 30 aircraft lessors operational in GIFT City
Indian Railways adjusts wagon order for Open Freight Wagons
NEW DELHI: Indian Railways recently revised its wagon order, focusing on open wagons to enhance its freight services. In May 2022, the railway signed a contract with Titagarh Rail Systems to supply 24,177 wagons. However, a recent revision reduced the order to 21,804 wagons, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply
This change involved replacing 3,089 covered wagons with 716 open wagons, better suited for bulk cargo
like coal. The shift reflects the railway’s goal of optimizing its fleet to meet growing demand in sectors such as energy
Indian Railways freight wagons are essential for transporting bulk materials. Open wagons allow faster loading and unloading, making them more efficient for coal transport This adjustment also reduced the contract value from Rs. 78 billion to Rs 71 billion, aligning with Indian Railways’ strategy to streamline costs and improve freight operations.
Indian Railways Expands Focus on Open Wagons
The decision to shift to open wagons aligns with Indian Railways’ broader strategy to enhance bulk cargo transport Open wagons are ideal for materials like coal, which are critical for India’s energy sector They simplify the logistics process, offering better handling and increased operational efficiency This move also helps Indian Railways meet the growing demand for bulk cargo services, ensuring timely deliveriesacrossthecountry
RBI MPC shifts gear to 'neutral' while retaining repo rate at 6.5%; GDP targets revised, inflation retained
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India-led Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) recently retained repo rate, the key lending rate, at 6.5%, announced GovernorShaktikantaDas
T h e M P C a l s o d e c i d e d u n a n i m o u s l y t o c h a n g e t h e 'withdrawal of accommodation' stance to 'neutral' with focus on growth.
The Governor, however, stressed on keeping the inflation within its target of 4%.
W h i l e a n n o u n c i n g t h e k e y decisions, Das said, "The monetary policy action today reflects MPCs assessment that at the current juncture it would be appropriate to have greater flexibility and optionality to act in sync with the evolving conditions and the outlook." RBI's GDP, Ination target
The MPC retained its real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast at
7.2 per cent for FY25. With this, the RBI has now pegged growth rate for Q2 at 7% (reduced from 7.2%), Q3 at 7.4% (up from 7.3%%) and Q4 at 7.4%. For Q1 FY26, the growth rate was kept at 7.3%.
Meanwhile, the central bank left its inflation forecast for this fiscal year unchanged at 4.5%, even amid caution on food prices and intensifying geopolitical tensions that may disrupt energy supplies and take crude prices further higher
India’s economic landscape has been characterised by strong growth in recent quarters. According to the State Bank of India (SBI), domestic conditions remain paramount in shaping the RBI’s monetary policy decisions With India’s growth potentially higher than its long-term potential output, the report argues that maintaining the current interest rate levels is justified “Domestic
conditions are paramount, and with robust growth, higher than potential output, the case for a pause exists,” the report said.
The growth rate for the first quarter of FY2025 was 6.7%, slightly below the RBI’s projection of 7% While still indicative of strong growth, this dip has raised concer ns Moreover, key indicators such as vehicle sales, cement volumes and GST collections have seen a drop, signalling a cooling of economic activity
One of the key reasons the RBI was expected to refrain from cutting rates was inflation. Though inflation has softened from its peak, the RBI remains cautious about its durability. The central bank is also wary of global risks, such as rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which could drive up oil prices and exert pressure on domestic inflation.
