Revenue forgone under the Central Tax System: Financial Years 2010-11 and 2011-12


Revenue forgone under the Central Tax System:
Financial Years 2010-11 and 2011-12
The main objective of any tax system is to raise revenues to fund Government expenditures. The amount of revenue raised is
determined to a large extent by tax bases and tax rates. It is also a function of a range of measures – special tax rates, exemptions,
deductions, rebates, deferrals and credits – that affect the level and distribution of tax. These measures are sometimes called "tax
preferences".  They have an impact on Government revenue (i.e. they have a cost) and reflect the policy choices of the Government.
Tax preferences may be viewed as subsidy payments to preferred taxpayers. Such implicit payments are referred to as "tax
expenditures" and it is often argued that they should appear as expenditure items in the Budget. In this context, the basic issue is
not one of tax policy but one of efficiency and transparency – programme planning requires that the policy objectives be addressed
explicitly; and programme budgeting calls for the inclusion of such outlays under their respective programme headings. Tax
expenditures are spending programmes embedded in the tax statute.
A tax expenditure or a revenue forgone statement was laid before Parliament for the first time during Budget 2006-07 by way
of annex-12 of the Receipts Budget 2006-07. It was well received by all quarters and gave rise to a constructive debate on the
entire gamut of issues concerning fiscal policy. It also lent credence to the Government's intention of bringing about transparency
in the matter of tax policy and tax expenditures.
The second edition of this statement was placed before Parliament during Budget 2007-08 by way of annexure-12 of the
Receipts Budget and also by way of a separate budget document titled "Statement of Revenue Forgone". Thereafter, it was again
placed before Parliament during Budget 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11and 2011-12.
Like in the earlier six years, this Statement seeks to list the revenue impact of tax incentives or tax subsidies that are a part of
the tax system of the Central Government. The revenue forgone on account of such tax incentives has been estimated in respect
of most items of tax preferences. The estimates are for financial year 2010-11, the most recent year for which data is available.
However, an attempt has also been made to project the revenue forgone for income of the financial year 2011-12 on the basis of
the revenue forgone figures of the financial year 2010-11 projected on the provisional tax growth figures for 2011-12.
The estimates of the tax expenditures have been made on the basis of the following assumptions:-
(a) The estimates and projections are intended to indicate the potential revenue gain that would be realised by removing
exemptions, deductions, weighted deductions and similar measures. The estimates are based on a short-term impact
analysis. They are developed assuming that the underlying tax base would not be affected by removal of such measures.
As the behaviour of economic agents, overall economic activity or other Government policies could change along with
the elimination of the specific tax preference, the revenue implications could be different to that extent.
(b) The cost of each tax concession is determined separately, assuming that all other tax provisions remain unchanged.
Many of the tax concessions do, however, interact with each other. Therefore, the interactive impact of tax incentives
could turn out to be different from the revenue forgone calculated by adding up the estimates and projections for each
provision.
The assumptions and methodology adopted to estimate the revenue forgone on account of different tax incentives are
indicated at the relevant places in this Statement.
Direct Taxes
The Income-tax Act, inter alia, provides for tax incentives to promote savings by individuals; exports; balanced regional
development; creation of infrastructure facilities; employment; donations for charity and rural development; scientific research
and development; and the cooperative sector. Accelerated depreciation is also provided as an incentive for capital investment.
Most of these tax benefits can be availed of by both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers. This Statement attempts to estimate
some of the major tax expenditures.
A. Corporate Sector
Large business is mainly organised as companies. The Income-tax Department has received 4,59,270 corporate returns
electronically up to 31
st 
December, 2011 for the financial year 2010-11 [i.e., assessment year 2011-12 ]. These returns constitute
about 90% of the total corporate returns expected in financial year 2011-12.  These companies reported corporate tax payable as
` 2,28,158 crore [inclusive of surcharge and education cess] for their income of financial year 2010-11. They also reported
` 15,928 crore as Dividend Distribution Tax payable during the financial year 2010-11.
For the purposes of estimating the tax expenditure, data pertaining to these 4,59,270 companies
1
 was culled from the
database for analysis and is detailed in tables 1 to 5 and Appendix to this statement. Table 1 profiles these companies across
1 The sample size for financial year 2009-10 was 4,27,811.

profit ranges. The following facts emerge from an analysis of the data:-
• 2,66,347 companies (57.99 %) reported ` 9,46,731 crore as profits before taxes as per their books and a total taxable
income ( "total income")
2
 of `  6,23,572 crore  for the financial year 2010-11.
• 1,61,596 companies ( 35.19 %) reported `  2,03,564 crore as losses.
• 31,327 companies ( 6.82 %) reported Nil profit.
The effective tax rate
3
of the entire sample was 24.10 per cent
4
 [as against the rate of 23.53 per cent reported in 2009-10].
The effective tax rate for corporates has been gradually rising (20.55% for 2006-07; 22.44% for 2007-08; 22.78% for 2008-09;
23.53% for 2009-10 and 24.1% for 2010-11).  This is a result of the gradual phasing out of profit linked deductions and the levy of
Minimum Alternate Tax on companies.

Table 2 profiles the sample companies across effective tax rates.   2,46,213 companies with average effective tax rate of less
than zero, zero and   zero to  20 per cent accounted for  41.85 per cent of total profits before taxes, 20.31 per cent of total taxable
income and   25.74 per cent of total taxes paid.   42, 087 companies accounting for 11.45 per cent of total profits and 18.80 per cent
of the total taxes had an effective tax rate greater than the statutory rate. This is apparently on account of certain expenses debited
in profit and loss account being disallowable under the Income-tax Act.

2 The term "total income", in income-tax returns, represents taxable income i.e. the income as per books of accounts as adjusted by the
allowances and disallowances mandated under the Income-tax Act.
3 Effective tax rate in case of companies is the ratio of total taxes payable [including surcharge and education cess but excluding Dividend
Distribution Tax] to the total profits before taxes [PBT] and expressed as a percentage.
4 Effective tax rate including dividend distribution tax was 25.06 percent.23
Table 3 compares the effective tax rate of public sector companies [PSUs] with that of private sector companies. In a reversal
from previous years, the effective tax rate for private sector companies is slightly higher than that for public sector companies.

Table 5 gives details of the major tax expenditures on corporate tax payers in terms of the revenue forgone during the financial
year 2010-11 and 2011-12. The tax forgone on each tax concession claimed by these companies has been calculated by applying
the corporate tax rate of 33.21 per cent on the amount of each deduction. For revenue forgone on account of deduction/weighted
deduction for expenditure on scientific research and deduction for expenditure on eligible projects/schemes for social and economic
uplift of the public, it has been calculated by first determining the difference between the deduction debited to the profit and loss
account by companies and the deduction allowable under the Income-tax Act. Thereafter, the corporate tax rate of 33.21 per cent
has been applied to this difference to arrive at the revenue forgone figure.
Another aspect of revenue forgone is tax deferral. Tax deferral occurs when the taxpayer, on account of being allowed
higher deductions under the tax statute is able to defer his tax liability by claiming an allowance (e.g. depreciation allowance) as
a deduction over shorter time period whereas he may be spreading the same depreciation claim over a number of years in his own
accounts.  As depreciation does not entail cash outgo, this is a tax deferral.  On the other hand, the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
on companies under the tax statute fastens a liability (for 2010-11, at the rate of 20% on book profits), on the profit reported by the
company to its shareholders (subject to some adjustments), if this liability is in excess of the tax liability computed at normal rates
(for 2010-11, at the rate of 33.21% on taxable income).  The excess liability on account of MAT is allowed as a credit (for upto 10
years) in a subsequent year in which the normal tax liability is in excess of MAT.  The additional tax paid on account of MAT is
therefore an advance payment of future tax liability.  It restricts the period of deferral of taxes on account of claims of depreciation
and moderates the tax forgone on other deductions such as profit linked deductions by spreading the same claim over a longer
period of time.
Based on the revenue forgone figures for financial year 2010-11, the revenue forgone for the financial year 2011-12 has
been projected. The projection for 2011-12 has been made by multiplying the revenue forgone on each tax incentive in 2010-11
by the projected growth of corporate tax collections in 2011-12.  Table 5, therefore, depicts the major tax expenditures on
corporate taxpayers in terms of tax forgone during the financial year 2010-11 and projection for financial year 2011-12.24

Across various sectors and activities, deductions for Software Technology Parks (STPs), Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and
the power sector and weighted deduction for expenditure on scientific research account for the major component of the total tax
forgone.
Revenue Forgone on export profits of units located in SEZs for financial year 2010-11 was projected at `  5126 cores in the
previous year's statement.  However, based on the data now available, the actual revenue forgone during 2010-11 on these units
is now estimated at `   7432 crore. For financial year 2011-12, revenue forgone on account of these units has been estimated at
`  8153 crores.  Keeping in mind the increase in revenue forgone in financial year 2010-11, the actual revenue forgone in financial
year 2011-12 in respect of units located in SEZs may be higher than the estimate.
The industry-wise distribution of effective tax rate of companies is given in the table in the Appendix to this statement. At the
lower range, the effective tax rate for Diamond cutting businesses and Software Development Agencies is at 19.32 per cent and
19.05 per cent respectively.
B. Non-Corporate [Firms/AOPs/BOIs] Sector
Apart from the corporate sector, large business is also organised as partnership firms and Association of Persons [AOPs] or
Body of Individuals [BOIs]. The tax expenditure on these is not as large as that in case of companies. The Income-tax Department
Sl. Nature of incentive Revenue Projected
No. Forgone Revenue
(in ` Crore) Forgone
[2010-11] (in ` Crore)
[2011-12]26
has received 5,02,141 returns filed electronically upto 31
st
 December, 2011 for income of the financial year 2010-11. For the
purposes of estimating the tax expenditure, data pertaining to these 5,02,141 firms/AOPs/BOIs was culled out from the database
of the Income-tax Department. They account for a substantial part of the tax paid by the universe of firms/AOPs/BOIs in financial
year 2010-11.
The data was analysed and the following facts emerged:-
• The sample firms/AOPs/BOIs reported `  70,880 crore as profits before taxes (losses were reported by about   8.63 per
cent of the sample)  and declared a total income (taxable income) of `  57,726 crore  for the financial year 2010-11.
• These sample firms/AOPs/BOIs  reported `  17,134 crore as income tax payable [inclusive of education cess]  for the
financial year 2010-11 . The effective tax rate
5
in their case works out to  24.17 per cent.
The tax forgone on each tax concession claimed by the sample firms/AOPs/BOIs has been calculated by applying the income
tax rate of 30.90 per cent on the amount of each deduction. The revenue forgone on account of accelerated depreciation,
deduction/weighted deduction for expenditure on scientific research and deduction for expenditure on eligible projects/schemes
for social and economic uplift of the public has been calculated by first determining the difference between the depreciation/
deduction debited to the profit and loss accounts by firms/AOPs/BOIs and the depreciation/deduction allowable under the Incometax Act. Thereafter, the income tax rate of 30.90 per cent has been applied to this difference to arrive at the revenue forgone figure.
Though the sample firms/AOPs/BOIs account for 90 per cent of all such entities in terms of taxes paid, the revenue forgone on
account of these sample firms/AOPs/BOIs has been taken to be the total revenue forgone in the non-corporate sector.  To this
extent the revenue forgone may be a slight underestimate.
Based on the revenue forgone figures for financial year 2010-11, the revenue forgone for the financial year 2011-12 has
been estimated. The estimation for 2011-12 has been done by multiplying the revenue forgone on each tax incentive in 2010-11
by the projected growth in tax collections from firms/AOPs/BOIs in 2011-12.  Table 6 depicts the major tax expenditures on noncorporate taxpayers in terms of revenue forgone during the financial years  2010-11 and 2011-12 .  The highest tax expenditure,
by far, is from claims of deduction of profits of undertakings derived from Housing Projects which accounts for   31.59 % of the total
revenue forgone.

C. Individual Taxpayers
Chapter VI-A of the Income-tax Act primarily provides for deduction on certain payments; and deduction on certain incomes.
Individual taxpayers are eligible to claim these deductions and have a wide range of tax preferences available to them. However,
since 50 per cent of the individual taxpayers derive their income primarily from salaries, the profit-linked deductions [i.e. deduction
on certain business incomes] are not claimed by them. On the other hand, the group of non-salaried individuals claims both types
of deductions.
The estimates of revenue forgone on account of the various tax benefits granted to individual taxpayers is presented in Table
7.  The revenue forgone under various sections of chapter VI-A of the Income-tax Act has been estimated on the basis of various
claims for tax preferences in the 68,62,807 returns filed electronically by individuals with the Income-tax Department till 31
st
December,  2011. Apart from chapter VI-A, the other major tax expenditure on individual taxpayers in the financial year   2010-11
was on account of the higher basic exemption limits for senior citizens (individuals aged 65 years or more) and women (other than
senior citizens).
Based on the figures of the sample of 68,62,807 returns of income, the revenue forgone for the entire population of tax payers
have been estimated as under:-
(i) The revenue forgone on account of higher basic exemption limits, as aforesaid (Sl. No. 22 and 23 of table 7), has been
calculated by multiplying the revenue forgone per senior citizen and per woman with their respective numbers. Their
respective numbers have been estimated by calculating the percentage of sample returns filed by them. Thereafter, this
percentage has been applied to the estimate of total number of individual taxpayers for financial year 2010-11. The total
sample returns filed electronically with the Income-tax Department till 31
st
 December,   2011 is   68,62,807. The total
number of individual taxpayers for financial year  2010-11  is estimated to be   3,08,14,135 by assuming a growth rate of
5% over the estimate of the previous year which was 2,93,46,795. According to the sample returns,   5.53 per cent were
filed by senior citizens and   25.95 per cent of the balance returns were filed by women (other than senior citizens).
Further, the revenue forgone on account of a senior citizen and woman [who is not a senior citizen] has been calculated
by taking into account the difference between the higher basic exemption limits [` 2,40,000 and ` 1,90,000 respectively]
as compared to the general exemption limit of ` 1,60,000  and applying the lowest tax rate of 10% (plus cess) on the
difference. Thereafter, the revenue forgone on account of each such taxpayer has been projected on the total estimate of
the number of such tax payers.
(ii) Specifically, in the case of deduction under section 80-IA, 80-IAB, 80-IB and 80-IC (Sr. No. 12 to15 of table 7) the revenue
forgone has been calculated on the assumption that these figures reflect the total claims made by individuals under these
sections as all tax audited returns for income of F.Y.  2010-11 were subject to compulsory e-filing.
(iii) In all other cases, the revenue forgone for the entire population of taxpayers is worked out bya) First calculating the average revenue forgone for a particular incentive per taxpayer for each income slab which has
a separate tax rate in the sample returns.
(b) Secondly, multiplying this by the estimated total number of individual taxpayers in that income slab for financial year
2010-11.
This gives the revenue forgone for that income slab for a particular incentive.  The sum of the revenue forgone for all the slabs
gives the revenue forgone for the entire population on account the particular tax incentive.
(iv) Based on the revenue forgone figures for financial year 2010-11, the revenue forgone during the financial year   2011-
12 has been estimated. This estimation has been done by multiplying the revenue forgone on each tax incentive in  2010-
11 by the projected growth in tax collections from individual taxpayers in 2011-12.
As detailed above, table 7 depicts the major tax expenditures on individual taxpayers in terms of revenue forgone during
financial years 2010-11 and 2011-12.

Indirect Taxes
A. Excise duties
Excise duty is levied as per the rates specified in the First and Second Schedules to the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985. In
many cases, the various Finance Acts specify the rates at which these duties should be levied. The rates specified in various
enactments are known as the "tariff rates" of excise duty. Central Government has been granted powers under Section 5A(1) of
the Central Excise Act, 1944 to issue exemption notifications in public interest so as to prescribe duty rates lower than the tariff
rates prescribed in the Schedules. The rates prescribed by exemption notifications are known as the "effective rates".
Revenue forgone is defined to be the difference between duty that would have been payable but for the issue of the
exemption notification and the actual duty paid in terms of the relevant notification –
• In cases where the tariff and effective rates of duty are specified as  ad valorem rates,-Revenue forgone= Value of goods
X (Tariff rate of duty - Effective rate of duty)
• In cases where the tariff rate is on ad valorem basis but the effective duty is levied at specific rates under the terms of
exemption notification, then – Revenue forgone= (Value of goods X Tariff rate of duty) - (Quantity of goods X Effective
rate of specific duty)
• In cases where the tariff rates and effective rates are a combination of ad valorem and specific rates, revenue forgone is
calculated accordingly
• In all the above cases, if the tariff rate of duty equals the effective rate, revenue forgone will be zero.
Besides the powers to issue general exemption notifications under Section 5A(1) ibid, the Central Government also has
the powers to issue special orders for granting excise duty exemption on case to case basis under circumstances of an exceptional
nature, vide Section 5A(2) of the Central Excise Act. However, unlike general exemptions which form part and parcel of fiscal
policy of the Central Government, the main object behind issue of exemption orders is to deal with circumstances of exceptional
nature. As such, the duty forgone on account of issue of special exemption orders is not being calculated towards revenue forgone
figures.
 Automation of Central Excise & Service Tax (ACES) system has been launched in all the Central Excise formations
across the country. The revised figure of duty forgone for 2010-11 is based on ACES data, which, among other thing, enables
capture of data contained in returns filed by assesses. As the actual figures for revenue realization are now available for the whole
year, revised revenue forgone figure has been worked out accordingly. The duty forgone due to the operation of area based
exemptions scheme has been obtained separately from the concerned Central Excise zones and added. In the last Budget, the
revenue forgone estimate for the financial year 2010-11 was calculated using the extrapolation method based on data for part of
the year i.e. April-November, 2010. Accordingly, the revenue forgone for the financial year 2010-11was estimated at ` 1, 98,291
crore [` 1, 87,041 crore + ` 11,250 crore (towards area based exemption)]. The revised revenue forgone for the financial year
2010-11based on actual data for the full year comes to ` 1, 92,227 crore as against the estimates of ` 1, 98,291 crore.
As in the past, the revenue forgone for the current financial year i.e. 2011-12 has also been estimated using the
extrapolation method based on ACES data for part of the year i.e. April-December, 2011. Accordingly, the revenue forgone for the
financial year 2011-12 is estimated at ` 2, 12,167 crore including ` 12,880 crore on account of area based exemptions.
 The estimates of ` 2,12,167 crore show an increase of about 10.37% over last year's corresponding revised figure of
`1,92,227 crore. The revenue forgone has increased compared to that registered in 2010-11, because in 2010-11 the excise duty
on unbranded Diesel continued to be charged at the rate of ` 2.60 per litre respectively, whereas with effect from 25
th
 June 2011,
unbranded Diesel was fully exempted from excise duty resulting in significant increase in duty forgone significantly. Further, the
excise duty collections have increased in the current financial year by about 6.8% till January, 2012 compared to similar period in
2010-11. The increase in revenue forgone has been partially offset on account of levy of  central excise duty of 1% (if no CENVAT
is availed) and 5% (if CENVAT on inputs is availed)   on 130 items, which were exempt from central excise duty as also levy of
compulsory excise duty @ 10% on ready- made garments with effect from 01.03.2011.
As for area-based exemptions, there are two types of schemes currently in operation - [i] based on refunds and [ii] outright
exemption as in the case of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. In the case of refund-based exemptions, the revenue forgone is
computed by aggregating the refunds actually sanctioned to the individual units or claimed by them during the year. With an
increase in clearances, it is evident that the quantum of refunds would increase. As for outright exemptions, the revenue forgone
is calculated using the difference between the general effective rate and the duty actually paid (Nil). By the same logic, therefore,
the revenue forgone in respect of the exemption schemes also reflects the upward trend.31
The revenue forgone figures are given in Table 8 below.

Total 198291 192227 212167
B.  Customs duties
Customs duty is levied under Customs Act, 1962 as per the rates specified in the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act,
1975 known as "tariff rates".  The Customs Tariff Act, 1975 also provides for levy of (i) additional duty of customs (commonly
referred to as countervailing duty or CV duty), which is levied at a rate equal to the duties of excise leviable on like goods if they
were manufactured in India and (ii) special additional duty of customs (commonly referred to as Special CVD or SAD) which is
levied at a rate of 4%.  Duties of excise are levied under the Central Excise Act as per the rates specified in the Schedule to the
Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985 and various Finance Acts. The Central Government has been delegated powers of exemption
under Section 25(1) of the Customs Act, 1962 to issue notifications in public interest so as to prescribe duty rates lower than the
tariff rates prescribed in the Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act.  These rates prescribed by notification are known as the "effective
rates".
The revenue forgone is thus defined to be the difference between duty that would have been payable but for the issue of the
exemption notification and the actual duty paid in terms of the relevant notification. In other words,
Revenue forgone= Value X (Tariff rate of duty – Effective rate of duty)
Thus, if the tariff rate equals the effective rate, revenue forgone is zero.
The estimate of revenue forgone under various exemption notifications is based on the data generated from the Bills of Entry
filed in the Indian Customs Electronic Data Interchange System (ICES) at various Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) locations.
However, since the EDI system does not capture data in respect of imports through such ports, ICDs & CFSs where either EDI
system has not become fully functional or where filing of Bills of Entry is still happening manually, the EDI data does not provide
a complete picture of the customs revenue forgone. Suitable adjustments (mainly additions) are made to EDI data in order to
include revenue forgone on account of bulk imports or transactions cleared in the manual mode. The revenue forgone data takes
into account the exemptions from basic customs duty, CV duty and also exemption notifications issued under Central Excise Act,
1944 which are relevant for levy of CV duty. It also takes into account exemptions from special CVD of 4%.
For the year 2010-11, gross customs revenue captured by EDI data was ` 107624 crore as against actual gross customs
revenue collection of ` 135780 crore. Thus, the EDI captured nearly 80% of the actual reported gross customs revenue collection
for the year 2010-11. This implies that the estimation of revenue forgone is based on a fairly large and representative data base.
In order to work out the revenue forgone for the year 2010-11, EDI data has been adjusted upward both for completing
coverage as well as fully capture revenue on account of edible oils, minerals and ores and petroleum products/ crude petroleum,
which are normally imported as bulk cargo through Customs locations, some of which are still not on EDI.
The total revenue realized as per the EDI data for the year 2010-11 is `107624 crore, however the gross customs revenue for
the year was ` 135780 crore indicating a coverage of 80%. The total Revenue forgone as generated from the EDI system comes
to `184105 crore.  After suitable adjustments made for coverage and bulk cargo (not on EDI), duty forgone for the year 2010-11
on account of all the exemption notifications comes to ` 230131 crore as against the estimated duty forgone of  ` 228500 crore
published last year. Further, after deducting the revenue forgone from the various export promotion schemes (other than drawback)
and the category of incentive schemes mentioned at Sr. no. 14 of the Table 11 below, the net duty forgone for the year 2010-11
works out to ` 172740 crore.
In order to work out the estimated revenue forgone for the year 2011-12 (estimated), the same methodology was adopted.
The EDI captured nearly 94% of the actual reported gross customs revenue collection this year indicating much improved EDI
coverage. The EDI revenue forgone figures for the period April 2011-January 2012 were extrapolated for 12 months to ` 27609332
crore, yielding an increase in revenue forgone by 20% over the previous year. Further, after deducting the revenue forgone from
the various export promotion schemes (other than drawback) and the category of incentive schemes mentioned at Sr. no. 14 of the
Table 11 below, the net duty forgone (Estimated )for the year 2011-12 works out to ` 223653 crore.
The revenue forgone has increased compared to that registered in 2010-11 (20% more than the previous year) because in
2010-11 the effective basic customs duty on crude petroleum oil, Petrol and Diesel continued to be charged at 5%, 7.5 % and 7.5%
respectively, whereas from 25
th
 June 2011, the effective basic Customs duty for the same was reduced to Nil, 2.5% and 2.5 %
respectively. Thus for the remaining financial year since 25
th
 June, 2011, the duty forgone amount has increased significantly.
Further, the base for collection of  Customs duty (i.e. the aggregate value/volume of imports)  has also increased in the current
financial year as evident from 12% increase in the customs duty collections till January, 2012 compared to similar period in last
financial year 2010-11.
The customs duty forgone for the period 2010-11 and 2011-12 on account of major commodity groups and their share in
overall duty forgone is given in Table 9 as under:

These figures include revenue forgone from the working of various export promotion schemes other than from drawback. The

Entitlement Credit Certificate, Target Plus, Vishesh Krishi and Gram Udyog Yojana (VKGUY), Served from India and Focus Market
are incentive schemes. The remaining are either exemption schemes or input tax neutralization schemes, which primarily accord
input tax credit so as to offer a level playing field to our exporters in the international markets.  In this sense, the revenue forgone from
the various export promotion schemes (other than drawback) needs to be scaled down by the amount of revenue forgone from the
various export promotions schemes falling in the category of incentive schemes. Sr. no. 15 of the Table 11 hereunder tabulates the
amount of such revenue forgone.
