14.1 INTRODUCTION 
Export assistance and incentives is a financial help given by 
the Government to Indian exporters to improve their ability to 
compete in foreign markets. Indian exporters can survive provided 
they can produce good quality goods at reasonable cost. In the 
domestic market practically everything is highly taxed. We can 
export our goods but not taxes. The exporters need various 
concessions and rebates to make the price competitive.
