05 · THE DIFFERENCE
Cleared before cut-off — with every rupee claimed

Right scheme selected
Drawback, RoDTEP or an authorisation — the best fit.
Examination handled
At the CFS, ICD or port, coordinated for you.
Incentives claimed right
Nothing left on the table — every eligible rupee back.
One team files the shipping bill, clears the cargo and claims your drawback and RoDTEP — so nothing slips and nothing’s missed.
