Under the Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLCSS), eligible Micro and Small Enterprises receive a 15% upfront capital subsidy (capped at ₹15 Lakhs) on institutional term loans availed for procuring approved modern plant and machinery.
The subsidy is credited directly by nodal agencies (SIDBI / NABARD) into a term deposit linked to your term loan account, reducing your effective principal debt burden immediately.
No. Second-hand or pre-owned machinery is strictly excluded from CLCSS subsidies. Only brand-new, state-of-the-art plant & machinery supplied with certified OEM invoices and verified by a Chartered Engineer are eligible.
CLCSS is specifically earmarked for Micro and Small manufacturing enterprises with active Udyam registration. Medium scale units and commercial trading businesses are not eligible for CLCSS, but can explore State Industrial Policy subsidies and PLI schemes through REXERA.
Yes. Enterprises modernizing under CLCSS can additionally claim MSME Sustainable (ZED) Certification grants (up to ₹5.00 Lakhs for Bronze, Silver, or Gold certification) and avail up to 0.5% interest rate concessions from scheduled commercial banks.
REXERA conducts technical annexure matching, coordinates Chartered Engineer & CA certification dossiers, prepares institutional CMA data for term loan sanctions with leading banks, and tracks the online subsidy file through SIDBI/NABARD portals until full disbursement.
