Loans & Subsidy · CLCSS
Upgrade Your Manufacturing Unit with Modern Technology
The Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLCSS) is a Government of India initiative introduced to help Micro and Small Manufacturing Enterprises (MSEs) modernize their production facilities by purchasing advanced plant and machinery. Under the original scheme, eligible enterprises could receive an upfront capital subsidy on institutional finance taken for approved technology upgradation. Rinson Business provides professional consultancy for technology upgradation projects, DPR preparation, machinery financing, bank loan documentation, MSME registration, and subsidy guidance across India.
Important Note: The original CLCSS has largely been replaced for new applicants by the Credit Linked Capital Subsidy and Technology Upgradation Scheme (CLCS-TUS) under the Ministry of MSME. Some banks and organizations still refer to it as CLCSS because of its earlier name.
What is CLCSS?
Introduced to encourage Micro and Small Enterprises to adopt modern technology and machinery, improve product quality, increase productivity, reduce manufacturing costs, and become globally competitive. The subsidy is linked to the term loan obtained from an eligible bank or financial institution for purchasing approved plant and machinery.
