Customers served! \u20b9 15000 CR <\/span> in duty drawback refunds went unclaimed by Indian exporters in FY 2021\u201322, with nearly 33% of shipping bills<\/strong> never filed under duty drawback.(Source- CBIC+COVORO Analysis)<\/p>\n Why Does it Happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact:<\/strong> Exporters not only lose refunds but also pay the price in higher interest costs, reduced liquidity, and missed growth opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\n Duty drawback refunds are meant to provide exporters with timely liquidity and sharpen their competitive edge. Yet the reality is far from this promise. Complexity, manual effort, and inefficiency turn what should be a financial advantage into a working capital burden.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Filing and processing a claim can stretch to 121 days<\/strong>, leaving crores of rupees tied up. For many exporters, this means financing their own refunds \u2014 bearing interest costs while capital remains locked.<\/p>\n Impact:<\/strong> On average, exporters lose \u20b972 lakh annually in interest costs<\/strong> (assuming \u20b920 crore in annual claims at 8.5% interest).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Duty drawback filing involves mapping consumption to BoMs, identifying BoEs, and matching rates against Brand Rate Duty Drawback. Missing documents or mismatched quantities trigger rework and recalculations, dragging the process out further.<\/p>\n Impact:<\/strong> Each error increases reworking time, adds consultant delays, and slows access to legitimate refunds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Manual files, fragmented communication, and no audit trail make it hard for teams to track claim status or resolve disputes. Without analytics or reporting, exporters operate blind to where claims stall or leak value.<\/p>\n Impact:<\/strong> Businesses not only face compliance risks but also leave significant refunds unclaimed \u2014 in FY 2021\u201322 alone, \u20b915,946 crore went unclaimed<\/strong>, with 33% of shipping bills not filed under duty drawback<\/strong> (CBIC + GSTHero analysis).<\/p>\n The Bigger Picture:<\/strong>Instead of accelerating growth, the current duty drawback process locks working capital, inflates financing costs, and erodes global competitiveness \u2014 leaving exporters at a disadvantage in international markets.<\/p>\n COVORO turns duty drawback claims into a fast, accurate, and strategic process. AI automation digitizes documents, validates duty rates, and auto-files claims\u2014cutting claim cycles from months to days. Exporters gain instant visibility, error-free claims, and faster access to working capital<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Duty drawback doesn\u2019t have to be a 121-day waiting game. With automation, the process shifts from a compliance burden into a strategic driver of liquidity and profitability.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Liquidity in Days, Not Months<\/p>\n What once took 121 days per<\/strong> claim can now be completed in just 10 days<\/strong>. Every BoE is auto-mapped, consumption linked to BoM, and duty matched against rates without manual delays.Impact:<\/strong> Working capital is released quickly, reducing annual interest costs from \u20b972 lakh<\/strong> to under \u20b95 lakh<\/strong> \u2014 capital that can be reinvested into growth.<\/p>\n Accuracy That Eliminates Rework<\/p>\n AI-driven mapping and automated calculations prevent errors that used to force weeks of re-computation. Missing BoEs are identified instantly, and eligibility checks are built-in.Impact:<\/strong> Consultant review time drops from 8 days to just 1<\/strong>, unlocking a 90% efficiency improvement<\/strong> and allowing teams to focus on higher-value tasks.<\/p>\n Control, Compliance, and Confidence<\/p>\n Every claim is tracked end-to-end with full audit trails, centralized storage, and real-time collaboration for teams and consultants.Impact:<\/strong> Exporters gain visibility, compliance readiness, and faster refunds \u2014 with no risk of unclaimed entitlements.<\/p>\n The Bigger Picture:<\/strong>Automation turns duty drawback claims into a profitability lever.
