RODTEP Scheme is also considered as MIES (Merchandise Export from India Scheme)
The scheme is to benefit all the exporters and ensures to receive refunds on the embedded taxes and duties. This scheme will help in boosting the local and domestic Indian industries with all its new features.
Earlier MIES schemes were there and it is the same as MIES just with some additional features and benefits for the exporters. To avail of this scheme, you need to claim RODTEP in the shipping bill and then you can avail all the benefits easily.
