Implementation of Scheme for Schedule M Compliance for SSI Pharma Units

Implementation of ‘Scheme for Schedule ‘M’ Compliance for SSI Pharma Units to be implemented by dove-tailing with CLCSS Scheme of MSME

  1. INTRODUCTION

    1. As per the second supplement of the Revised Guidelines issued by MSME on the Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLCSS) for Technology Up-gradation of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises by the Ministry of MSME on 13th July, 2009 the pharma SSI units will now be able to avail the benefits of CLCS Scheme for financial assistance for an expanded list of products from 32 to 179.
    2. As per the CLCSS Scheme of the MSME, 15% Capital Subsidy would be provided on capital investment of upto Rs One Crore. The scheme is available for 179 machinery and equipment as per Annex-I. It will be implemented in the same manner as the CLCSS scheme. SIDBI and other nominated banks would be implementing the scheme as in the case of CLCSS. List of banks is at Annex-II.
    3. The scheme will involve collaboration with the following:


      1. Development Commissioner, Micro Small, Medium Enterprises, Ministry of Micro Small, Medium Enterprises
      2. Certification agencies (CDSCO / SRA)
      3. Banks and Financial institutions like SIDBI
      4. State government officials in Departments of Health and Industry
    4. 1.4 Implementation Methodology: The implementation of the Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (hereinafter referred to as ‘Scheme’) comprises interalia the following stages:


      1. Awareness Building
      2. Organizational arrangements
      3. Implementation processes
      4. Involvement of all stakeholders
      5. Periodic Review and Monitoring

  2. AWARENESS BUILDING

    For this a three fold strategy is proposed to be adopted:
    • Awareness Building Workshops
    • Dissemination of Scheme brochures and related material
    • Media support
    2.1 Awareness Building Workshops (ABW):
    2.1.1 Workshop Location:
    Workshops at 10 SSI Cluster locations as per following schedule would be organized:
    Sl.No. Venue Date Nodal Industry
    1. Goa 05.10.09 (Thursday) SPIC
    2. Mumbai 06.10.09 (Tuesday) IDMA & SPIC
    3. Baddi (H.P) 13.10.09 (Tuesday) FOPE/NIPER, Mohali
    4. Ahmedabad 16.10.09 (Friday) NIPER (PERD)/IDMA
    5. Bengaluru 22.10.09 (Thursday) KAPL/SPIC
    6. Chennai (T.N.) 23.10.09 (Friday) CPI/IDPL
    7. Hyderabad (A.P.) 27.10.09 (Tuesday) NIPER/Pharmexcil
    8. Indore (M.P.) 30.10.09 (Friday) SPIC
    9. Dehradun 12.11.09 (Thursday) FOPE

    The aim of the ABWs would be to spread awareness and deepen the understanding of Pharma SSI manufacturers/entrepreneurs about the implementation of the scheme involving interalia, substantially expanded list of 179 machineries/Equipments required for Schedule ‘M’ Compliance. The choice of these locations takes into account the concentration of SSI pharma units in these locations.

    2.1.2 Workshop Personnel:

    DDG Shri Ashok Vishan Dass and DIA (Shri Mathur) together would co-ordinate these ABWs. JS (Pharma), Shri Devendra Chaudhry would be present in the important workshops, preferably at larger clusters, as an ’Observer’.

    2.1.3 Workshop assisting Organizations:

    • NIPERs: Ahmedabad, Mohali, Hyderabad
    • KAPL: Bangalore
    • NPC: all through
    • Banks including SIDBI
    • IDMA, SPIC, FOPE, CIPI, and other Industry associations will be required to assist in getting in organizing and convening the industry at every location.
    • SMPIC - Small, Medium Pharma Industry Centre at NIPER Mohali may also render technical advise to assist pharma SSIs units. This would also go a long way in capacity building.
    2.1.4 Scheme Brochure:

    A detailed Scheme Brochure will be made available to the potential beneficiaries to understand the various facets of the scheme and its implementation methodology.

    2.1.5 Media:

    Two advertisements, one each in vernacular and English languages would be made in the prominent newspapers of the states wherever the ABWs will be held. These advertisements will be released through DAVP.

  3. ORGANISATIONAL ARRANGMENTS

    Scheme Implementation Committee (SIC)

    The Scheme Implementation Committee would be set up to be guided by JS DC. DDG AVD will be Member Convenor with other members from SIDBI, NPC and selected industry nominees. SIC would lay down monitoring and evaluation formats developed with support from NIC for effective reporting on the progress of the Scheme. The Committee would meet every month to ensure proper implementation of the Scheme.

  4. IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

    4.1 Technical and Certification Support:

    As a number of Pharma SSI units are not well conversant with the technical requirements of the compliance regulators in terms of physical implementation processes, capacity building with the help of NIPER will be done. This will sensitise the SSI units of the implementation issues and increase their commitment to the project. The ABW would be one day event.

    4.2 Other Activities planned:

    1. Cluster survey of the status of the implementation of Schedule M
    2. Status Report on the standards implementation status
    3. Gap identification
    4. Plan to implement for compliance
    5. Capacity building of the potential beneficiary

      6. The requirements of Schedule ‘M’ compliance include documentation - a very essential part. Accordingly, these units will be provided technical advice by NIPERs to secure the necessary certification from the concerned state Regulatory Authority.

    4.3 Project Approval Support

    Each unit would be required to prepare Detailed Project Plan (DPP) for application to the Bank for financial assistance including loan and subsidy. For SIDBI would coordinate and monitor all the applications made seeking assistance under the Scheme.

    There will be weekly monitoring of applications filed and sanctioned as well as disbursals of loan and adjustment of subsidy in the loan amount. A close team led by DDG will have to coordinate with the Bank and beneficiary as well as MSME.

  5. MONITORING & EVALUATION

    Scheme Oversight Committee (SOC)

    A Scheme Oversight Committee would be set up in the Chairmanship of the Secretary Pharma with DC MSME, JS DC, DDG AVD, Senior Officer of NPC and concerned GM of SIDBI, Heads of IDMA, CIPI, FOPE as members. SIDBI would be Member-Convenor. Based on the monthly Scheme Implementation Committee (SIC), the Oversight Committee would provide periodic guidance for successful implementation of the scheme including policy issues. The SOC would meet every two months.

    Annexure-I

    Second Supplement of the Revised Guidelines on the Credit linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLCSS) for Technology Upgradation of Micro and Small Enterprises approved by the Technical Sub-Committee on the CLCSS (TSC) in its 7th meeting held on the 13th day of July, 2009 under the chairmanship of the Additional Secretary & Development Commissioner (MSME)
