Q62: Regarding the funding pattern under the MSE-CDP (New Guidelines) effective for the current cycle (2025-26), identify the INCORRECT combination of Project Cost and maximum Government of India (GoI) Grant contribution.
(Note: Assume General Category States unless specified).
✅ Correct Answer: D
The Rule (MSE-CDP Guidelines):
Projects with a cost higher than the defined ceiling (which is ₹30 Crore for CFCs) can be considered, but the GoI Grant is capped.
The grant is calculated based on the maximum eligible project cost of ₹30 Crore.
It is not calculated on the excess amount.
Correct Funding Pattern (General States):
CFCs ₹5 Cr – ₹10 Cr: 70% Grant.
CFCs ₹10 Cr – ₹30 Cr: 60% Grant.
Infrastructure (New) ₹5 Cr – ₹15 Cr: 60% Grant.
Correction for Option D: For a ₹40 Crore project, the grant would be calculated only on ₹30 Crore (meaning 60% of 30 Cr = ₹18 Cr), not on the full ₹40 Crore.
