How to Apply for West Bengal Interest Subsidy on Term Loan for Tourism — Up to ₹2.1Cr

There is no competitive pitch or jury round here — assessment is administrative. Once an application is filed on the Shilpasathi portal, the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation Limited scrutinises the application and the papers attached to it. Officers verify the detailed feasibility report, check that the project has been approved and sanctioned by a Central Financial Institution, a Commercial Bank or a State Financial Institution, and confirm that the unit satisfies every eligibility condition.

The review then moves through the certificate chain: first a Registration Certificate, then a Date of Commencement Certificate, and finally an Eligibility Certificate. Only a unit holding all three can apply for the interest subsidy itself, using the dedicated online form.

After that incentive application is submitted, the competent authority grants final approval, and the subsidy is disbursed.
