SRTEPC EXPORT AWARD SCHEME - 2016-17

General Terms & Conditions

Each award winner will be given a trophy and a citation. However, companies who win Certificate of Merit will only be given a Certificate.

Eligibility

Only members registered with the Council under Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 will be eligible for awards.
Export Performance in items that fall under the purview of the Council only will be considered for grant for awards.
Products included by the applicant in one category cannot be repeated in other categories for claiming Award; except for ‘SRTEPC Special Award’ for Overall Export Performance, ‘SRTEPC Special Award for Overall Export Performance in Merchant Exports’, ‘Small Scale Sector’ and awards in the Categories of “Focus Africa”, “Focus LAC” and “Focus SAARC” countries.
The ‘SRTEPC Special Award for Overall Export Performance’ will now be given to Exporters from only the MMF Textiles Manufacturing industry and for Merchant Exporters special awards will be given separately.
Applicants may please note that they are eligible to apply in both the above categories separately (SRTEPC Special Award for Overall Export Performance and SRTEPC Special Award for Overall Export Performance in Merchant Exports) but while considering the award the Council will choose only for one category out of the above 2 applied depending on the best performance out of the 2.
Awards will be granted for the financial year 2016-17 (April-March)
Application for awards will be considered subject to the condition that nothing adverse about the business dealings of the applicant has come to the notice of the Council and/or the Authorities.
Members can apply for awards in various categories and will be eligible for more than one award. There is no restriction on number of awards a member can receive.
Application for awards has to be submitted in the proforma prescribed by the Council, duly certified by the Chartered Accountant.
SEPARATE APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED FOR AWARDS IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
Selection for awards will be made by the Sub-Committee appointed by the Committee of Administration of the Council. The decision of the Council will be final and cannot be contested. The Council reserves the right to re-verify the export figures submitted by the applicant.

Criteria

Minimum export performance to qualify for SRTEPC Special Award (For overall export performance) is Rs.75 crores. To qualify for the Award in the “Merchant Exporters” Category, the minimum export is Rs.25 crores. Minimum exports to qualify for ‘Certificate of Merit’ is Rs.5 crores. Minimum exports to qualify for the “Continuous Nylon Yarn”, “Continuous Viscose Yarn” and “Continuous Polypropylene Yarn” is Rs. 10 crores.
If there is only one applicant in a Category; the award will be granted only if there is growth in exports of the applicant compared to the previous year.
‘Certificate of Merit’ will be given to member companies with three years of consecutive exports including the relevant year. The eligibility for award in this case is Rs.5 crores of minimum exports. Exporters who get awards in other categories are not eligible for Certificate of Merit.
Export performance includes only those exports which have been effected in the name of the applicant.
Export performance will be computed on the basis of FOB (excluding insurance, freight and commission) price in Indian rupees.
Awards in various categories will be given based on ‘Best’ export performance (except for Certificate of Merit). While deciding on ‘Best’ Export Performance due weightage will be given to value of exports and growth of exports. This will be calculated based on the following criterion:

Export Performance + 25% of the difference in export performance on previous year.

Illustration

I	II	III	IV	V
Last year performance	Current year performance	Difference in Exports	25%of Difference in Exports	Relative performance (II + IV)
100	100	+ 0	+ 0	100 + 0
100	90	-10	- 2.5	90-2.5 = 87.5
90	95	+ 5	+ 1.25	95+1.25 = 96.25
80	90	+10	+ 2.5	90 + 2.5 = 92.5
70	85	+15	+ 3.75	85 + 3.75 = 88.75
60	80	+20	+ 5	80 + 5 = 85
50	75	+25	+6.25	75 + 6.25 =81.25
40	70	+30	+ 7.5	70 + 7.5 = 77.5
30	65	+35	+ 8.75	65 + 8.75 = 73.75
20	60	+40	+ 10	60 + 10 = 70
10	55	+45	+ 11.25	55 + 11.25 = 66.25
0	50	+50	+ 12.5	50 + 12.5 = 62.5

For the purpose of calculation, the criterion works as follows :

If export growth is positive for the current year compared to the previous year:

25% of the difference is added to the export figure of the current year:

For e.g. (Exports in Rs. crores)

2015-16 2016-17 Difference 25% of Difference Performance

260 290 30 + 7.5 297.5

If export growth is negative for the current year compared to the previous year:

25% of the difference is deducted from the export figures of the current year:

2015-16 2016-17 Difference 25% of Difference Performance

260 230 - 30 - 7.5 222.5

The companies having the higher value will be eligible for Awards.
