MoFPI issues FAQs related to queries raised by entrepreneurs against CEFPPC.
Sep 11, 2023

The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has issued FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) in relation to the queries raised by the prospective entrepreneurs during a meeting held at the ministry in the fourth week of August against operational scheme guidelines of Creation/Expansion of Food Processing and Preservation Capacities issued in June this year.
 
On the question of mixed sectors like dairy with food & vegetable processing under single application, the ministry clarified that separate applications are required to be submitted under the CEFPPC scheme. 
 
Further, the ministry clarified that new additional technical civil work specific to the expansion/upgradation/modernisation will be considered for grants-in-aid calculations under the scheme. Apart from this, new plant & machinery specific to the project guidelines will also be considered for the grant while a certificate from a CA is required as a proof for income of the applicant under the scheme for the financial year.
 
And, the applicants are required to submit the application with all the specified/required documents to avail any grant for the purpose of expansion, modernisation or upgradation under the scheme.
 
The ministry has, meanwhile, stated that projects for expansion/modernisation/upgradation are not allowed for availing grant-in-aid after two years under the CEFPPC scheme, in case the same unit had already availed the grant under the same scheme.
