A managed venue for duty-credit scrips

The scriphouse.com platform, an Eximfiles product, is a managed venue for government-issued duty-credit e-scrips, the RoDTEP and RoSCTL scrips recorded in the Electronic Duty Credit Ledger under the Customs Act, 1962 and the Electronic Duty Credit Ledger Regulations, 2021. Sellers list the scrips that issue to them; buyers cover a Bill of Entry with scrips instead of cash. The scrips themselves are issued, recorded, and utilised by the Government. Scriphouse is an Eximfiles product operated by Dreamfuel Technologies Private Limited, an independent technology and settlement provider that is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, Indian Customs, or ICEGATE, or any government body.

Your mandate, and what we do with it

Settlement is atomic delivery versus payment

Buyer funds are secured before any scrip moves, or neither moves. Only then does the transfer execute on the Government Portal, and the seller payout is released against the portal's confirmation, with a UTR, the same business day. If a settlement fails it unwinds and the buyer is refunded in full, so neither the scrip nor the money is left in mid-transfer. The Refund Policy sets out how a return is made. Nothing is submitted to the portal without your approval.

Provenance screening before a scrip lists

Before a scrip is offered on the venue we screen its provenance: the shipping-bill chain behind it, the seller IEC history, KYC on the seller, and the live ledger status of the scrip. Government notifications from September 2022 shield a bona-fide transferee from a seller's prior defaults, and our screening is built to keep the scrips on the venue clean so that protection holds. A buyer covering a Bill of Entry receives the cheapest bundle assembled from whole scrips to cover the duty, and the ask is capped at face value, never above it.

Know your customer and anti-money-laundering

Every account is verified before it can transact. We collect and check business identity, including IEC, PAN, GSTIN, and bank details, together with the identity of the persons who control the account, and we may re-verify at any time. We monitor for suspicious patterns, may pause or decline any listing, cover, or settlement that fails our checks or that we are required to hold, and we keep the records of consents, instructions, and settlements that applicable law requires. Settlement runs in Indian rupees through regulated banking channels. Scriphouse is a domestic duty-credit venue and does not itself move money across borders; each User remains responsible for its own obligations under customs, tax, foreign exchange, and anti-money-laundering law.

How tax works on a trade

• The scrip sale is GST-exempt. Sale of a duty-credit scrip is a supply of a duty-credit instrument, exempt from Goods and Services Tax under HSN 4907 (S. No. 137 of Notification 10/2025-Central Tax (Rate)).
• The Scriphouse fee carries 18% GST. Our fee is charged only when a trade settles, and it carries Goods and Services Tax at 18%.
• Every trade ships its paperwork. Each settled trade produces a GST invoice and a net-realisation statement setting out the price, the ITC impact, the fee, and your take-home, plus a per-trade audit pack, all exportable, CSV or Tally-ready.

Protecting your information

• Your portal credentials: held encrypted at rest, never displayed back to you after entry, and used to carry out your instructions. When you update them, we replace the stored secret immediately.
• Your data: we handle personal data in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other applicable Indian law. See our Privacy Policy for details.
• A tamper-evident trail: every consent, instruction, and write is recorded in a hash-chained, tamper-evident audit trail, exportable in full.
• What we never do: we do not hold your scrips as a deposit or an investment, we do not sell your data, and we do not use your transaction data for advertising. Where title passes through us in the course of completing a transfer you instructed, it does so only to complete that transfer: your price is fixed the moment you accept it, and nothing that happens afterwards changes what you receive. Section 5 of the Terms sets this out, including that we carry the market and counterparty risk for as long as title sits with us.

For brokers and platform partners

A broker or customs house agent can run every client IEC from one desk, keeping the client and the commission while settlement and paperwork run on Scriphouse rails. Access to the platform's quote and settlement API is contract-gated: production access follows a signed NDA and production agreement, completed electronically. API keys are shown once at creation and are never stored in a readable form. Every client must have granted its own mandate and executed its own Power of Attorney before any transfer or cover is made for it. Programmatic use is governed by our API Terms, which bind partners to the same end-customer mandate and data obligations described above.

Responsible disclosure

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in the platform, write to amin@scriphouse.com with enough detail for us to reproduce it, and give us a reasonable opportunity to remediate before any public disclosure. Do not access data that is not yours, do not degrade the service for others, and do not test against Live accounts or real trades. We acknowledge reports and act on verified issues promptly.
