answer text

The average waiting time for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) customer in the financial year 2013-14 was 125 calendar days. The number of days taken to process applications dropped by 50 days over the course of the financial year and processing times continue to decrease. A record number of applications were decided in the financial year 2013-14, and there is nothing to suggest that processing times are deterring entrepreneurs from applying. <table><tbody><tr><td>Month Despatched</td><td>Average Calendar Days Between Application Raised Date and Despatch Date</td></tr><tr><td>Apr-13</td><td>131</td></tr><tr><td>May-13</td><td>148</td></tr><tr><td>Jun-13</td><td>142</td></tr><tr><td>Jul-13</td><td>129</td></tr><tr><td>Aug-13</td><td>134</td></tr><tr><td>Sep-13</td><td>126</td></tr><tr><td>Oct-13</td><td>96</td></tr><tr><td>Nov-13</td><td>108</td></tr><tr><td>Dec-13</td><td>114</td></tr><tr><td>Jan-14</td><td>141</td></tr><tr><td>Feb-14</td><td>97</td></tr><tr><td>Mar-14</td><td>81</td></tr><tr><td>Overall Average / Total Cases</td><td>125</td></tr></tbody></table>
