Banglashree State Capital Investment Subsidy — Up to ₹75L for West Bengal MSMEs — Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the State Capital Investment Subsidy, an enterprise has to clear a set of tests covering its sector, its size band, its location, the date it started production, its legal structure and when it files its first application.

• Sector: the unit must be engaged in manufacturing.
• Size: the sub-scheme is built for micro and small enterprises. The broader Banglashree framework covers the MSME band, but CIS incentives are structured around micro and small units.
• Production start: commercial production must have commenced on or after 1 April 2019.
• DOCCP window: the Date of Commencement of Commercial Production must fall between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2025.
• Location: eligible units are those in the designated Zones C, D and E. Zones A and B matter only for the separate reserved-category subsidy described in the funding section.
• Entity type: private sector units, cooperative sector units, joint sector undertakings, state government-owned companies and undertakings, and Industrial Self-Help Groups are all permitted.
• Application timing: the first application must reach the department within 12 months of the DOCCP, or within 12 months of the date Banglashree was notified — whichever is later.
