How applications are assessed
Assessment of applications rests on the full set of eligibility criteria together with the character of the textile manufacturing project being proposed. A key condition is prior approval and sanction of the project by a Central Financial Institution, Commercial Bank, or State Financial Institution, which establishes its financial viability and compliance with accepted banking norms.
Once all arrangements and conditions set out in the scheme guidelines are met, the Directorate of Textiles issues the Registration, Commencement, and Eligibility Certificates. Disbursement of the subsidy follows only after every scheme parameter has been satisfied and verification completed successfully.
