Know the difference
Support comes
in different forms.
Compare the mechanism before treating a published percentage or credit ceiling as money you will receive.
| Framework | What it supports | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| PMEGP | Eligible new micro-enterprise projects | Margin-money subsidy, subject to bank and scheme requirements. |
| PMFME | Eligible micro food-processing investment | Unit-level credit-linked capital support; confirm current intake. |
| ZED / Lean | Certification / productivity implementation | Support for specified costs, rather than total factory investment. |
| EPCG | Eligible export-linked capital goods | Duty relief with export obligations, rather than a cash grant. |
| CGTMSE | Eligible MSE credit through participating lenders | A lender guarantee, rather than a subsidy or promised loan. |
State incentives need a location-specific review.
Share your project state and district so we can check the applicable policy, zone, investment period and approvals. Available benefits and rates depend on the applicable state notification.
Discuss state incentivesUseful clarity
Before you move ahead.
Does selecting my industry confirm eligibility?
No. Industry is one factor. Eligibility also depends on scheme rules, enterprise category, activity, costs, location, application timing and authority or lender assessment.
What should I bring to the first discussion?
Start with your industry, state and district, new or existing unit status, investment plan, Udyam details if available, finance requirements and any assistance already received. The team can identify the next information needed.
Can different benefits be combined?
Combination and double-benefit restrictions vary by scheme and cost component. Each proposed combination needs a review of the relevant notifications before an application.
