CALCULATION OF NFE
While calculating NFE achieved, following basic components are to be taken into consideration:
i. Amortised value of capital goods and technical know how fee ii. Value of import of R. M. (which is consumed during the year and consumables, spares, etc.). iii. Other outflow of foreign exchange towards royalty, interest on external commercial borrowings etc. iv. Value of physical exports effected excluding DTA sales but including supplies made under para 6.09 of the Chapter 6 of the Foreign Trade Policy and HBP.
Amortised Value of Capital Goods: For this purpose as much value of CG is taken into account as indicated in para 6.10 (d) of Chapter 6 of the HBP. The CG imported prior to the 10 years period is not taken into consideration for the purposes of NFE if the value of said CG is fully amortized. If any capital goods imported duty free is leased from a leasing company or is taken on loan the CIF value of the capital goods shall be included under the imported inputs. However, on return of such CG its unamortized portion of value would be excluded from the calculation formula.
Import of raw material, consumables and spares etc: Whatever R. M. Consumables and spares are imported during the year are taken into account. However, it should be noted that whatever R. M.
Import of raw material, consumables and spares etc: Whatever R. M. Consumables and spares are imported during the year are taken into account. However, it should be noted that whatever R. M. is in balance at the end of the previous year is added while the RM at the end of the current year is deducted which will give the amount of RM consumed during the year. RM purchased as inter – unit transfer is also included.
Other outflow of foreign exchange: All the foreign exchange outflow on account of royalty, dividends, commission on exports, interest on external commercial borrowing etc., during the particular year has to be accounted for while calculating value addition. However, outflow on account of know-how fee would be apportioned during a period of ten years as applicable
Value of exports: While calculating value of exports, DTA sale made during the year are not to be accounted
for. However, supplies made in accordance with para 6.09 of the Chapter 6 of the Foreign Trade Policy and HBP will
be taken into consideration for calculation of NFE.
