Services Exports from India Scheme (SEIS)

Understanding Eligibility. Exploring Benefits.

The Services Exports from India Scheme is a government incentive programme designed to reward Indian service providers who earn foreign exchange by delivering eligible services to overseas clients. Sectors ranging from legal and accounting services to engineering, education, healthcare and hospitality can qualify, provided the earnings meet the scheme's net foreign exchange criteria. For eligible exporters, the scheme translates into transferable duty credit scrips that carry real monetary value.

Why This Matters

Many eligible service exporters simply never claim the benefits they are entitled to, either because they are unaware of the scheme or because the eligibility calculations and application process feel too complex to pursue. Left unclaimed, these benefits represent a direct loss of value that could otherwise offset import duties or be sold in the market. At the same time, incorrect claims can invite scrutiny from the authorities, making accurate computation and documentation essential.

How We Help

Eligibility Assessment

We review a client's service exports against the scheme's eligible categories and net foreign exchange thresholds to determine whether, and to what extent, they qualify for benefits.

Benefit Computation

Once eligibility is confirmed, we calculate the duty credit scrip value based on applicable reward rates and the client's actual foreign exchange earnings, ensuring the claim reflects the correct entitlement.

Application Filing and Representation

We prepare and file the necessary applications with the relevant trade authorities, respond to queries raised during processing, and follow up until the duty credit scrips are issued.

Compliance and Scrip Utilisation Guidance

We advise clients on how the scrips can be used, whether to offset import duties or transferred in the market, along with the compliance obligations that come with holding and using them.

Who Needs This

• Consulting, legal and accounting firms serving overseas clients
• Engineering, IT and R&D service providers earning foreign exchange
• Educational, healthcare and hospitality businesses with export earnings
• Any service exporter unsure whether they qualify for scheme benefits

Our Approach

We begin with a straightforward eligibility check based on a client's actual export earnings and service categories, so there is clarity before any application work begins. From there, we handle the technical computation and paperwork ourselves, keeping clients updated at each stage so that claiming these benefits requires minimal effort on their part.
