FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Central Ministry Schemes & Grants FAQs

Essential statutory guidance on PLI disbursements, PMFME grants, cluster funds, and DPR requirements.

Q1 How does the PMFME (Food Processing) 35% capital subsidy work?

Food Processing Subsidy

Under the PMFME scheme by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), individual micro food processing units can claim a 35% credit-linked capital subsidy up to ₹10 Lakhs. Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), SHGs, and Producer Cooperatives can avail up to 35% grant capped at ₹3.00 Crore for common processing infrastructure.

The subsidy is deposited into an escrow bank account linked to the enterprise term loan, reducing interest overhead and principal capital outlay.

Q2 Who is eligible for Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes?

PLI Guidelines

PLI schemes span 14 strategic sectors (including pharmaceuticals, electronics, auto components, food products, and textiles). Eligibility requires meeting minimum cumulative incremental capital expenditure (CAPEX) thresholds and committing to year-on-year incremental manufactured sales targets over baseline years.

Q3 Can an enterprise combine Central Ministry subsidies with State Government incentives?

Fiscal Co-Benefits

Yes, with proper structuring. While dual central capital grants on the exact same asset line are restricted to prevent double-dipping, enterprises can legally combine Central capital subsidies (e.g. PMFME or CLCSS) with State Industrial Policy incentives such as state interest subvention, electricity duty exemptions, and stamp duty reimbursements.

Q4 What is a Techno-Economic Viability (TEV) study and why is it mandatory?

DPR & TEV Report

A TEV study is an exhaustive financial and technical audit that assesses machinery technology, raw material supply chains, market competitiveness, and project cash flows (DSCR > 1.5, IRR, BEP). Union Ministries and Project Management Agencies (PMAs) mandate TEV reports to verify fund safety before sanctioning capital grants.

Q5 How does REXERA assist from application to subsidy release?

Advisory Workflow

REXERA conducts initial statutory scheme matching, formulates institutional-grade DPR and TEV dossiers, uploads and defends the application before PMA technical committees (such as IFCI, SIDBI, or MoFPI), and manages stage-wise Fund Utilization Certificates (UCs) until full subsidy disbursement.
