The Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme, shortly referred to as the CLCSS is an innovative credit product launched by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.

The CLCSS helps small-scale industries upgrade their equipment and plant machinery by offering capital subsidies on purchase of machinery.
