initiatives (details enclosed) include:
• MSME Facilitation Centres(MFCs) - These are single point of contact for all statutory compliances,
government incentives and business related queries for MSMEs. MFCs are linked to a web-based Single
Application Gateway (SAG) through www.myenterprisewb.in.
• West Bengal MSME Venture Capital Fund – This 200 crore VC Fund has been launched to meet the
critical needs of the MSME sector, which will become operational from April 1, 2015.
• www.msmebengalinvest.in – This is a web portal developed by the MSME Department, GoWB in
collaboration with the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) - intended to connect
entrepreneurs, prospective investors and professional experts/mentors to help each other mutually.
• Scheme of Approved Industrial Park (SAIP) – This recently launched Scheme provides an opportunity
to set up Greenfield Industrial Parks with assistance from government. An Entrepreneur can set up
private industrial park in any part of the state availing of incentives from this scheme.

MSME Facilitation Centre (MFC)‘Points of Single Contact’ from which businesses can obtain information, complete necessary administrative
procedures, and get relationship officersMany MSME entrepreneurs are not conversant with the provisions of relevant Acts and Rules, complianc-es, application forms, and the location of government offices to submit the applications for approvals, certificates and licenses to start enterprises or to avail government incentives.
Entrepreneurs were required to visit various offices to enquire, consult, and finally to submit applications. Apart from the running around, they often become victims of unscrupulous middlemen.
Even after all this, more visits were required to be made to follow up and finally collect certificates or licenses. This remained one of the biggest challenges and a disincentive for entrepreneurs who wanted to start a new venture, diversify or expand.
Every district now has an MSME Facilitation Centre (MFC) located in their respective District Industries Centres (DIC) and in Kolkata. The MFCs are dedicat-ed service providers on statutory compliances for an MSME entrepreneur. The MFC is tagged to the online Single Application Gateway (SAG) through http://myenterprisewb.in and acts as a single point to receive all applications made by an entrepreneur to various government entities for compliances and to avail gov-ernment incentives.
The hands-on facilitation services provided by an MFC to MSME entrepreneurs include:1. All information on statutory compliances needed to set up an enterprise or to avail government incentives.
2. Application forms.
3. A checklist of the documents to be attached with the application.
4. Hand-holding support to fill out the forms.
5. Thorough checking of the forms ensure they are correct in all respects
6. Submitting the application to the government office by the MFC.
7. Answering any queries that a government office may have
8. Collecting the certificate/license on behalf of the applicant either in person or through SAG.
9. Delivering it to the applicant.
These services are available on line through SAG at http://myenterprisewb.in
The most important development has been that definite deadlines have been fixed for the delivery of certificates and licences.
Another important development has been the appointment of relationship officers for business-es. With an average of 10,000 businesses starting every year and all of them with special needs, the emphasis has been on giving them a headstart in a very competitive environment. The initiative to introduce a relationship officer for every new enterprise has seen some surprisingly good results and has evoked very good response from those in-volved in the MSME sector. There are 400 specially trained relationship officers working in the field in the state.

The Government of West Bengal is committed to promote MSMEs in the State and creating a sustainable financial
ecosystem for the MSME sector.
MSMEs require timely and adequate capital infusion during the early and growth stages. Considering the rapid growth of MSMEs in the State, the MSME & Textiles Department, Government of West Bengal is launching a Rs 200-crore West Bengal MSME Venture Capital Fund. While the state government commits to provide Rs 100 crore to this fund, another Rs 100 crore is to be mobilized from other investors. SIDBI has in-principal agreed to join the fund with a 15% share in the corpus.
The Fund will provide equity capital to start-ups, emerging or early stage MSMEs with innovative business models or new products/services and technologies that have the potential to bring superior value propositions in a globalized and competitive market. About 20% of the Fund shall be earmarked to provide incubation support to start-ups through tie-ups
with established incubators in the State such as the
IIM Calcutta Innovation Park (IIP) among others.
Mentoring and hand holding support will be an
integral co-arrangement associated with the Fund.
The MSME and Textiles Department is creating
a Mentor and Professional Support Group
consisting of Bankers/Professional Institutions/
Consultants/Industry Associations, etc. This
Group will provide mentoring and professional
support to guide selected entrepreneurs to the
next level of business. The arrangement will boost
the confidence of banks to enhance bank lending
to the MSME sector in the State.
The Fund to be registered with SEBI as Category
– I AIF Venture Capital Fund is proposed to be
managed by SIDBI Trustee Company Limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary of SIDBI.
SIDBI Venture Capital Limited (SVCL), a wholly
owned subsidiary of SIDBI is proposed to be the
Fund Manager.

West Bengal offers you the opportunity to set up greenfield industrial parks where you can reduce costs through economies of scale and create high growth regions. The State Government will actively facilitate the setting up of the park, extend many benefits and create the right business environment for you to run the parks.
Scheme of Approved Industrial Parks (SAIP)
To ensure that adequate land, free from all encumbranc-es, is available to an entrepreneur who proposes to set
up an MSME unit in the state, the state government has
launched the Scheme of Approved Industrial Park (de-
tails at www.myenterprisewb.in). This recently launched
scheme encourages and incentivises the private sector to
set up industrial parks.
Any investor interested in setting up an industrial park in
the State can either procure private land directly or join
hands with another private entity which has land. In case
of the latter, the investor will bring in capital investment
and the private entity will have its land as equity in the
SPV. In all scenarios, the government will act as a facili-
tator with all kinds of hand-holding support for the SPV.
Under this scheme an industrial park can be set up by the private sector (an SPV is required to be formed) with various fiscal and non-fiscal incentives from the State Government. Such incentives will be available to only those projects which get the approval/sanction of the state government based on certain criteria.
Land for the parks must to be arranged by the private sec-tor. The SPV will be free to assign lease right of plot of land, buildings, or installations to the units willing to set up industries in the AIP. A minimum of 20 acres land will be required for each park. The SPV will have to set up basic and essential common infrastructure facilities in the park.
A minimum 60% of the land in an AIP would be allotted to industrial activity. The rest may be utilised for infra-structure facilities and greenery.
Support from the State GovernmentThe private entity that organises the land must apply to the Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Textiles. Once approved, the project gets single window clearance for all statutory compliances from the department including permission to hold land in excess of the ceiling limit. The fiscal incentives include capital investment grant, provision of power sub-station at gov-
ernment cost, incentives for effluent treatment plant, etc.
