Rebates, Marketing Incentive and the weaver roll

The government schemes a handloom cooperative earns money from: festival rebates on retail sales, and the NHDP Marketing Incentive on turnover — with the weaver roll that goes with them.

Rebate schemes

Settings → Rebate schemes. Enter a scheme from the order that announces it: its dates, the rebate percentage, what it covers, and how the rebate is shared between the government and the society. Once active, the till offers it on the lines it covers.

Rebate claims

Accounts → Rebate claims:

1. New claim: choose the scheme and period; the bills that carried its rebate are gathered.
2. Submit it to the department, and print the claim.
3. Record the sanction, including any amounts disallowed.
4. Record the money received, which clears the receivable. A claim can be withdrawn before it is sanctioned.

Reports → Rebates given shows the rebate by scheme, branch and period.

Sales channels

Every bill carries the channel it was sold through — outlet, exhibition, online, government or wholesale — worked out from the bill: an exhibition branch's bills are exhibition sales, a government buyer's are government sales. Changing a bill's channel needs its own permission and a reason, and is refused once a submitted claim has counted that year.

Marketing Incentive

Accounts → Marketing incentive, under the NHDP guidelines of 12 April 2023 (B.4, Annexure B8).

• Eligible turnover is sales net of GST and credit notes, leaving out sales to government, sales to other handloom agencies, and products not marked with Handloom Mark or India Handloom Brand. A sale counts as marked if the product is recorded as carrying the mark, or a label had been put on that piece — or that product at that branch — by the day of the sale.
• The computation shows turnover year by year, what was left out and why, by class and channel.
• The rules — rates and shares — are dated and start from the guideline defaults; only someone with the rules permission can change them, not whoever prepares the claim.
• A claim goes from draft to submitted, sanctioned and received. Income is booked on sanction; the weavers' share is a payable when it passes through the cooperative. Spending is recorded against the claim for the utilisation certificate, and the claim prints in the Annexure B8 form.

Weaver roll

Accounts → Weaver roll: the weavers of each member society — membership number, name, gender, category, looms and loom type, cluster and district — with counts by society, cluster, category, gender and loom type, and Excel import and export.
