Guidelines for filling the Table above:

1) If the "Total NFE in USD" in Col. No. 7 of the Table above exceeds the minimum earnings criteria prescribed at para 3.08 (b) of FTP, the RA will issue scrip as per entitlement. In case amount in Col. No. 7 of the Table above is negative, entitlement for the period is zero, hence no scrip would be issued.
2) For calculation of Entitlement under SEIS for the year of rendering service 2017-18, if the Net Foreign Exchange Earnings of a period 1 or period 2 is negative (as in Column 7 of the table above) the negative NFE would be added with the other period, as the case may be, for arriving at the NFE of the other period. The applicant would be granted a scrip, only if this NFE is positive. The entitlement would be based on the prescribed rates for the period in which positive NFE is achieved. The minimum NFE earnings criteria for the year 2017-18 period would need to be assessed as in para 3.08(b) separately for the whole year, irrespective of the calculation in this note.
