Why Export Incentives Matter

Indian exporters pay embedded taxes and levies that are not refunded under GST or any other mechanism. These hidden costs make your products more expensive in global markets. Export incentive schemes exist to neutralise this disadvantage and keep Indian goods competitive.

The problem? Most exporters either do not know which schemes they qualify for, file claims incorrectly, or miss deadlines entirely. RASP International handles the entire lifecycle from eligibility assessment to scrip utilisation.
