RoDTEP Export Scheme Extended Up to 31 December 2026

The correct answer is 31 December 2026. The Department of Commerce has carried the RoDTEP scheme forward to that date, and the benefit is available for exports made by Domestic Tariff Area units, Advance Authorisation holders, Special Economic Zone units and Export Oriented Units in the meantime. Option A, 30 September 2026, is the date of the notification itself and of the rate schedule that is being continued, not the closing date of the scheme, so it is wrong. Options C and D, 31 March 2027 and 30 June 2027, look plausible because Indian fiscal measures often end on a quarter boundary or with the financial year, but neither figure appears in the decision taken by the Department of Commerce. Aspirants should separate three dates in this item: the date the notification carries, the date on which the existing rates were frozen, and the new end date of the scheme. Only the last of these is 31 December 2026.

The correct answer is Notification No. 41/2026-27, which the Department of Commerce issued on 30 September 2026 to continue the RoDTEP scheme up to 31 December 2026. Option A names the notification that extended the timelines under Component II of the RELIEF intervention for exporters facing West Asia logistics disruptions, a separate measure of the same department issued on the same day, which makes it the strongest distractor here. Options B and D carry serial numbers that were never attached to this decision. Questions of this kind reward candidates who note the notification number together with its date, because a department commonly issues several notifications in one sitting and examiners pair the wrong number with the right scheme. Remember the combination: RoDTEP extension to 31 December 2026 by Notification No. 41/2026-27 of 30 September 2026.

The correct answer is Appendix 4R and Appendix 4RE. The rates and the value caps listed in these two appendices, in the shape they held on 30 September 2026, continue without any change for the whole extended period, so an exporter claims the same entitlement as before. Option B, Appendix 3B and Appendix 3C, belongs to other export incentive listings and not to RoDTEP. Options C and D are invented pairings included to test recall rather than guesswork. The practical point for an aspirant is that the government extended the duration of the scheme without reopening the rate structure: no fresh calculation, no revised ceiling, only a longer window. A question may also be framed the other way round, asking what did not change when RoDTEP was extended, and the answer there is the rates and value caps of these two appendices.
