Sub.: Alignment of Appendix 4R (RoTDEP Schedule) with the Finance Act, 2022 with effect from 01.05.2022 – reg.

Dear Sirs/Madam,

This has reference to the Customs Tariff Act 1975 and Finance Act, 2022. The RoDTEP Schedule (Apendix-4R) was subsequently amended vide Notification No.04/2015-20 dated 11^th May 2022 to align with the Customs Tariff Schedule / Finance Act, 2022.

Now, there has been further alignment of RoDTEP Schedule (Rates) vide Notification No.12/2015-2020 dated 1^st June 2022 (copy attached). The earlier schedule had 1386 HS Codes at 8-digit level for the textile items. This has increased to 1412 HS Codes for the textile products. The amendments were either in the form of merger or reclassification of items.

CITI has done an analysis of RoDTEP Schedules of the top 100 exported textile products during 2021-22 (a note enclosed). There are no changes in the rates for the textile products.

Members may note that the new RoDTEP Schedule (Rates) are effective from 01.05.2022.

This is for your information.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Chandrima Chatterjee

Secretary General
