Press Release Dated 16-01-2026
1. Introduction
Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has extended export incentives under the Duty Drawback, RoDTEP and RoSCTL schemes to goods exported through the postal mode in electronic form, with effect from 15 January 2026.
2. Extension Of Export Incentives To Postal Mode
With this move, exports made through the postal channel will now be eligible for the same incentive benefits as exports routed through other customs channels. The extension covers benefits under Duty Drawback, Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP), and Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL).
3. Operationalisation Through Regulatory Amendments
The benefit has been operationalised through amendments to the Postal Export (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations, 2022, notified via Notification No. 07/2026–Customs (N.T.). Additionally, Circular No. 01/2026–Customs lays down the procedural and operational framework for claiming such incentives.
4. Coverage Of Dak Niryat Kendras And Foreign Post Offices
Export incentives will now be available for eligible postal exports routed through Dak Niryat Kendras (DNKs) and Foreign Post Offices (FPOs). Exporters using these facilities can electronically declare exports and claim benefits under the respective incentive schemes.
5. Conclusion
The extension of Drawback, RoDTEP and RoSCTL benefits to postal exports is a significant step towards trade facilitation. By placing postal exports at par with other export modes, the measure is expected to provide a major boost to MSMEs and small exporters, particularly those operating from smaller towns and remote regions.
