- The sheet's own confidence in its reading of this scheme is "high (official Guidelines 2022, Addendum-1 2023 and Addendum-2 2024 read in full); medium on continued validity after 31.03.2026 (no extension notification located – web-search budget exhausted this session) and on Kannauj field-office mapping".
लाभ
- लाभ का प्रकार
- Graded subsidy (grant/fee waiver) on the cost of ZED certification, surveillance, handholding/consultancy and third-party testing/system/product certification; plus a one-time joining reward
- राशि
- Certification cost (Addendum-2, w.e.f. 18.09.2024): Bronze Rs 8,000; Silver Rs 32,000; Gold Rs 72,000 (earlier Rs 10,000/40,000/90,000), inclusive of taxes. Joining reward Rs 10,000 on taking the ZED Pledge (valid 1 year), adjusted against certification cost before subsidy – Bronze therefore costs the MSME nothing; the Rs 2,000 balance covers the Bronze surveillance at 18 months. Surveillance fee: Bronze Rs 2,000 (100% subsidised), Silver Rs 10,000, Gold Rs 20,000 (two surveillances at 12-18 and 24-30 months). Handholding/consultancy: provision up to Rs 5 lakh per MSME (up to Rs 2 lakh consultancy + up to Rs 3 lakh technology upgradation towards zero-effect/pollution-control/cleaner technology). Testing/quality/product certification: 75% of cost, ceiling Rs 50,000, now allowed on multiple certifications obtained after ZED registration (prospective only).
- सब्सिडी का हिस्सा
- Micro 80%, Small 60%, Medium 50% of cost (certification, surveillance for Silver/Gold, handholding, technology support); +10% for SC/ST-owned or NER/Himalayan/LWE/Island/aspirational-district units; +5% for SFURTI/MSE-CDP cluster members; women-owned MSMEs 100% (the +10%/+5% add-ons do not apply to them). Testing/system/product certification subsidy 75% (all sizes). Bronze surveillance 100%.
- अधिकतम सीमा
- Testing/system/product certification subsidy capped at Rs 50,000 per certification; handholding+technology support capped at Rs 5,00,000 per MSME (Rs 2 lakh + Rs 3 lakh); joining reward Rs 10,000 once per MSME. Worked example for a Kannauj micro distillery (non-women, non-SC/ST): Silver Rs 32,000 minus Rs 10,000 reward = Rs 22,000, 80% subsidy = Rs 17,600 grant, MSME pays Rs 4,400; Gold Rs 72,000 minus 10,000 = 62,000, MSME pays Rs 12,400. (Arithmetic applied to official figures; not itself an official illustration.)
- अवधि
- ZED certificate valid 3 years; re-apply afresh on expiry as per scheme validity; scheme provisions stated valid till 31 March 2026 in Guidelines 2022 (extension not verified); joining reward valid 1 year from Pledge; handholding to be completed within 4 months of allocation.
- जमानत
- Not applicable – grant/subsidy, not a loan; MSME pays only its beneficiary contribution online through the portal (handholding contribution in 40/30/30% milestones).
- सत्यापन टिप्पणी
- Udyam-registered manufacturing MSMEs (including attar distillers) get 80/60/50% (100% for women-owned) of the cost of Bronze/Silver/Gold ZED certification, surveillance, handholding and 75% (max Rs 50,000) of NABL/NABCB/BIS testing or product certification, with a Rs 10,000 joining reward that makes Bronze effectively free.
पात्रता
- कौन आवेदन कर सकता है
- Any manufacturing-sector MSME (proprietorship, partnership, LLP, company, co-operative, SHG-owned unit etc.) registered on the Udyam portal
- Each unit under one Udyam registration must apply separately
- Phase 2 (service-sector MSMEs, ZED Exports) envisaged but not notified as of the documents read
- आयु
- No age criterion for the entrepreneur; no minimum vintage for the unit
- लिंग और श्रेणी
- Open to all; women-owned MSMEs get 100% subsidy (Addendum-1, w.e.f. 11.11.2023); SC/ST-owned units and units in NER/Himalayan/LWE/Island/aspirational districts get +10%; SFURTI or MSE-CDP cluster members get +5% (Kannauj is not an aspirational district, so the +10% applies in Kannauj only to SC/ST-owned units)
- टर्नओवर या निवेश सीमा
- Must be a Micro, Small or Medium enterprise as per the Udyam classification in force; the subsidy percentage depends on the Udyam size class (Micro 80%, Small 60%, Medium 50%)
- क्या इत्र व्यापार सूची में है
- YES (by inclusion, not by name) – the scheme has no trade/product list; FAQ: 'covers all the MSME sectors belonging to manufacturing'. Attar/perfume distillation is a manufacturing activity (NIC 2008 Division 20 'Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products', which is one of the sector filters on the portal's certified-MSME list; perfumes fall under NIC 2029 – this NIC mapping is from general knowledge, not from a fetched document). Pure traders/retailers of attar are NOT eligible (services/trading excluded in Phase 1).
- अन्य शर्तें
- Must take the ZED Pledge online before applying for any level; must sign an undertaking of compliance with all applicable regulatory licences (e.g. GST, pollution consent, factory licence where applicable); ISO-certified units are eligible and get parameter exemptions if ISO is NABCB/IAF-MLA accredited; MSMEs with a valid Bronze certificate are eligible for handholding; testing/product-certification subsidy needs a valid ZED certificate (Bronze/Silver/Gold).

सावधानी
1) Manufacturing only in Phase 1 – attar traders, retailers, service units and flower farmers (non-Udyam agricultural producers) are excluded; only Udyam-registered units qualify. 2) Scheme validity stated as 31.03.2026 – confirm that subsidies continue in FY 2026-27 before budgeting. 3) Fake sites/agents: registration is free; portal warns no agency may charge for registration; pay only through the portal. 4) Joining reward lapses 1 year after the Pledge and is usable once. 5) Each unit under one Udyam number must apply separately. 6) Women-owned units get 100% but forfeit the +10%/+5% add-ons (irrelevant since 100%); Kannauj is not an aspirational district so the +10% applies only to SC/ST-owned units there. 7) Testing/product-certification subsidy only after obtaining a ZED level, only for NABL labs / NABCB-accredited certification bodies / BIS, only for certificates still valid at claim, and only prospective (after ZED registration). 8) Handholding needs a valid Bronze certificate; Rs 3 lakh technology support needs consultant recommendation, MSME-DI verification and PMAC approval. 9) Silver/Gold certificates are suspended/withdrawn if the two mandatory surveillances are missed
कन्नौज में एजेंसी
No district-level implementing office: registration, pledge, application, payment and certificate issue are entirely online on zed.msme.gov.in via Udyam number + mobile OTP; assessments are done remotely or on-site by QCI-accredited assessment agencies. Field outreach role for Kannauj lies with MSME-Development & Facilitation Office (MSME-DFO/DI) Kanpur (the Ministry's field office for this part of UP – coverage of Kannauj by Kanpur DFO not re-verified this session) and, per the Guidelines, DIC Kannauj (District Industries & Enterprise Promotion Centre) only for awareness/sensitisation ('Activ
