Program Overview
This course demystifies India’s export promotion ecosystem, translating policy frameworks like RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products), MEIS (Merchandise Exports from India Scheme), and SEIS (Service Exports from India Scheme) into actionable strategies for exporters. Participants will learn how to calculate incentive eligibility, file claims, and maintain scheme-aligned documentation for audits and compliance. The session covers DGFT portals, HS code linkages, export obligation fulfilment under EPCG, and recent updates post-MEIS phase-out. Real-world examples from manufacturing, pharma, and textile exports highlight how businesses optimize cash flows and stay compliant through structured internal processes.
