Government of West Bengal MSME SECTOR OF WEST BENGAL 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 dedicated 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 government 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.

Scheme of Approved Industrial Parks (SAIP) Scheme of Approved Industrial Parks (SAIP) To ensure that adequate land, free from all encumbrances, 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 (details 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 facilitator with all kinds of hand-holding support for the SPV.
