Kathmandu, Dec. 31: Sharada Rijal, a successful entrepreneur in felt and handicraft sector, has a bitter experience while obtaining the incentives on exports from the government. She made rounds of banks, customs offices, business chambers and the Department of Industry (DoI) for about three years to get her share of incentives, ranging from 3-5 per cent on the basis of domestic raw materials used and value added, and decided to quit doing it.
