Up to which date has the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme been extended?

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.

The correct answer is more than 7000 MT worth about USD 22 million, shipped to more than twenty international destinations during that financial year. The other three options carry invented tonnages and values of the kind an examiner inserts to see whether a candidate has learnt the pair of figures together rather than one of them alone. The minister placed these numbers in a wider setting: the state government is preparing an Agri Export Policy meant to lift farmer incomes through export promotion, and packhouses have already been developed to serve the makhana export value chain. He described the shipment to Greece as a milestone for the state makhana sector. For revision, link the quantity, the value and the number of destinations as one line, and attach to it the single tonne of popped phool makhana that made up this particular consignment.

The correct answer is Mundra Port, from which the shipment moves to the Piraeus Port in Greece. Option A, Kandla, lies on the same Gujarat coast and is the strongest distractor for that reason. Option C names the large container port near Mumbai and option D the eastern river port, either of which could in principle handle such cargo but neither of which carried this consignment. The port pair is the kind of detail examiners like because it tests whether a candidate read past the headline: Mundra at the Indian end and Piraeus at the Greek end. Remember alongside it that the lot was sourced by Indo Global Export of Belouri in Purnea and exported through S. S Foods Exports Private Limited of New Delhi, and that the flag-off was chaired by the Bihar Agriculture Minister in the presence of the APEDA Chairman.

The correct answer is Bihar, which contributes about eighty to eighty-five per cent of the national output, with India itself the global leader in makhana production. Cultivation in the state is spread across more than thirty-five thousand hectares in ten districts. Options A, B and D name states with wetlands and pond-based farming where the crop is also grown or could be grown, which makes them reasonable distractors, but none carries anything near the Bihar share. Two institutions give the crop its scientific backing and are worth remembering with the state: Bihar Agricultural University at Sabour, and the National Research Centre for Makhana run by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research at Darbhanga. A question may ask for either the share, the area, the district count, or the research centre, so all four should be learnt as one cluster.
