NEW DELHI: Exporters of garments and made ups like bedsheets and towels will continue to get rebate on certain state levies for three more months as in the pre-Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
Government on Tuesday announced a "transitional arrangement" wherein garments and made ups exporters can claim Remission of State Levies (ROSL) at the ratesprior to introduction of GST till September 30.
