## Norms/Criteria/Reservation Policy for Dealership Selection Guidelines

Dealer Selection by draw of lots / bidding have been implemented for opening of new Retail  Outlets  in  rural  as  well  as  urban  areas.  There  is  neither  marks-based  evaluation system  nor  interview  process  for  selection.  The  selection  is  carried  out  by  a  transparent system  of  draw  of  lots/Bidding.  Individuals  and  Non-  Individuals  can  apply.  All  applicants meeting  the  eligibility  criteria  qualify  for  the  draw/bidding.  As  per  the  eligibility  criteria,  an applicant  has  to  meet  the  minimum  requirements  on  availability  of  suitable  land  at  the advertised location,  Finance,  Age and Educational Qualification. However, for Corpus fund locations,  Finance  is  not  an  eligibility  criterion.  All  categories  of  applicants  are  required  to have suitable piece of land in the advertised location/area either by way of ownership / long term lease.

The detailed guidelines for selection of retail outlet dealerships which have come into effect from 21-05-2014 have provision for 22.5 percent reservation for SC/STs in allotment of retail  outlet  dealerships.  However,  distribution  between  Scheduled  Castes  (SCs)  and Scheduled Tribes  (STs)  will  vary  in  each  State  depending  upon  the  ratio  of  SC/ST  in  the State as per latest available census data.

Adhering  to  the  broad  reservation  principles  under  the  constitutional  scheme  27% reservation for OBC category has been introduced. Reservation for SC/ST is 22.5% and the remaining  50.5%  is  for  Open  category.  Sub  categories  of  reservation  among  the  Main categories  i.e.  SC/ST,  OBC  &  Open  categories  have  been  introduced  to  take  care  of reservation for Defence personnel, Para Military Personnel/Central/State Govt. and Central/State  PSU  employees,  Physically  Handicapped  personnel,  Outstanding  Sports Persons  and  Freedom  Fighters.  Able  bodied  Ex  servicemen  are  also  made  eligible  under reservation for Defence personnel to enlarge the scope for Defence category.
