## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR TEXTILES (SMT. DARSHANA JARDOSH)

(a) to (c): Government  had  announced  a  Special  Package  for  garments  and  made-ups  sectors  in 2016  to  boost  export  and  enhance  competitiveness  of  the  complete  textiles  sector  including  home textiles. The package offered Rebate of State Levies (RoSL), labour law reforms, additional incentives under Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS) and relaxation of Section 80JJAA of Income Tax Act.

The  RoSL  scheme  had  been  replaced  by  Rebate  of  State  and  Central  Taxes  and  Levies (RoSCTL) scheme w.e.f. 7th March 2019 for garments and made-ups. In order to provide level playing field to textiles products, Government extended continuation of RoSCTL on exports of Apparel/Garments (Chapters-61 & 62) and Made-ups (Chapter-63) till 31st March 2024 with budget outlay of Rs. 6,946 crore in FY 2021-22, Rs. 7,641 crore in FY  2022-23 and Rs. 8,405 crore in FY 2023-24.  The other textiles products (excluding Chapter 61, 62 and 63) which are not covered under the RoSCTL are covered under Remissions of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) along with other products. All exporters exporting the products under Chapter 61, 62 & 63 are eligible for benefits under RoSCTL, no matter from which States/UTs they belong to.

To promote production of MMF Apparel, MMF Fabrics and Products of Technical Textiles in the country, the Government has approved the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles with an approved outlay of Rs. 10, 683 crore. The selected companies will be eligible to get incentives on achieving the threshold investment and threshold/ incremental turnover. The Scheme has two parts: Part-1 & Part-2. Under Scheme Part-1, 15% incentive will be provided on attaining required turnover in Year-1. Under Scheme Part-2, 11% incentive will be provided on attaining required turnover in Year-1. Incentive will be reduced by 1% every year from Year-2 onward till the Year-5 under both parts of the Scheme.

In  addition,  Government  has  approved  setting  up  of  7  (seven)  PM  Mega  Integrated  Textile Regions  and  Apparel  (PM  MITRA)  Parks  in  Greenfield/  Brownfield  sites  to  develop  world  class infrastructure including plug and play facility with an outlay of Rs.4,445 crore for a period 2021-22 to 2027-28. There is provision for incentivizing manufacturing units for setting up early in PM MITRA Parks.
