Tripura CGTMSE Fee Subsidy — 100% Refund for MSMEs

A micro or small unit in Tripura that has borrowed from a bank or an NBFC and placed Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) cover on that loan can get the charges on that cover returned by the State.

The reimbursement sits under a dedicated head of the Tripura Industrial Investment Promotion Incentives Scheme, 2022 (TIIPIS 2022) — the State's industrial incentive package, run by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Tripura.

CGTMSE cover is the route many small Indian units take to raise a term loan or a working-capital facility without pledging heavy collateral. The Trust charges a one-time guarantee fee when the cover starts, and then a service fee for every year the cover remains in force. Under this incentive head, the State returns both in full.

No rupee ceiling appears in the clause. A claim therefore tracks what the unit actually paid for cover rather than a fixed award figure.

Treat this as a programme in its own right. It lives inside TIIPIS 2022 and is claimed through that scheme's process, but it is kept distinct from the capital investment subsidy, GST reimbursement, interest reimbursement and the other TIIPIS heads.

The head stays open on a rolling basis, with no advertised closing date, and claims go through the State's SWAAGAT single-window portal at https://swaagat.tripura.gov.in/. It works strictly as a reimbursement: the unit pays the fees first, holds on to the receipts, and then asks the State for the same amount back. It is not a loan and not equity, and nothing has to be repaid.

• 100% reimbursement of CGTMSE fees
• Both the one-time guarantee fee and the yearly service fees are covered
• Open to micro and small enterprises operating in Tripura
• No rupee ceiling stated in the clause
• Claims accepted on a rolling basis under TIIPIS 2022 via SWAAGAT
• Equity-free and not repayable

This head is written for micro and small enterprises — medium and large units are outside it.

• The unit must be operating in Tripura.
• The underlying loan must be granted by a bank or an NBFC.
• CGTMSE cover must have been taken on that loan.
• The claim covers the one-time guarantee fee and the yearly service fees actually paid.

No sector list is attached to this clause, there is no DPIIT Startup India mandate in it, and there is no condition to relocate into a park. Claims are filed under TIIPIS 2022 and routed through the SWAAGAT portal.

• CGTMSE cover must sit on that loan;
