The main factor used to assess an application for the incentive is whether export values doubled compared to the prior financial year. Once an application passes this stage, reimbursement is calculated using the prescribed percentage of export value, with the rate depending on whether the applicant is a woman entrepreneur or another category of entrepreneur.
