3. Criteria

1. 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.10 crores.  The salient feature of various awards and the respective terms and conditions are given in Annexure A.

2. 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.

3. ‘Certificate of Merit’ will be given to member companies with three years of consecutive exports including the relevant year. The eligibility for ward in this case is Rs.10 crores of minimum exports.   Exporters who get awards in other categories are not eligible for Certificate of Merit.

4. Export performance includes only those exports which have been effected in the name of the applicant.

6. 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 + 50% of the difference in export performance on previous year.

Illustration

I	II	III	IV	V
Last year performance	Current year performance	Difference in Exports	50%of Difference in Exports	Relative performance (II + IV)
100	100	+ 0	+ 0	100 + 0
100	90	-10	-  5	90-5 = 85
90	95	+ 5	+ 2.5	95+2.5 = 97.5
80	90	+10	+ 5	90 + 5 = 95
70	85	+15	+ 7.5	85 + 7.5 = 92.5
60	80	+20	+ 10	80 + 10 = 90
50	75	+25	+12.5	75 + 12.5 =87.5
40	70	+30	+ 15	70 + 15 = 85
30	65	+35	+ 17.5	65 + 17.5 = 82.5
20	60	+40	+ 20	60 + 20 = 80
10	55	+45	+ 22.5	55 + 22.5 = 77.5
0	50	+50	+ 25	50 + 25 = 75

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

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

50% of the difference is added to the export figure of the current year:

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

2013-14        2014-15          Difference      50% of Difference      Performance

260                 290                   30                       + 15                                   305

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

50% of the difference is deducted from the export figures of the current year:

2013-14      2014-15           Difference      50% of Difference     Performance

260                 230                  - 30                    - 15                                       215

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