Practical issues in RoDTEP Scheme

I hope, by now, everybody is aware of what is the RoDTEP Scheme. Assuming that let me highlight some practical questions regarding this scheme.
On 28th October 2020 under the chair of Mr. G. K. Pillai, the RoDTEP Committee was formed. The main objective of this committee is to determine the ceiling rates of items covered under the scheme. However, the data of chapter 86, 88, and 89 are still pending from the industry's side. It is predicted that the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products briefly known as the RoDTEP Scheme is likely to be launched under the new Foreign Trade Policy.
The scheme seeks to refund currently un-refunded duties/taxes/levies at the local, state, and central level have borne on the exported products.
In view of the above, I have jotted down some key questions which need to be answered,
1. How to segregate the VAT and Excise Duty leviable on petrol & diesel on export and domestic selling products?
2. How to segregate the electricity duty between exported products and domestic products?
3. How to calculate fuel costs in case of inter-state transport?
4. Filing information in Form R-1 is required for the EOU unit?
5. What are the RoDTEP provisions in the case of SEZs?
6. Municipal and Property Tax paid on the export facility premises can vary from exporter to exporter. How to standardize this?
7. How to calculate indirect taxes borne by unregistered persons in case they refuse to share their costing?
My intention in raising these questions is to highlight the practical issues in the RoDTEP Scheme and determine what other hidden costs are borne by the manufacturer exporters.
That's it from my side this week. I look forward to receiving your views on this.
