Selection Process
The selection for the Employment Generation Subsidy is not a competitive process in the traditional sense, but rather an eligibility-based assessment. Applications submitted by Mega and Super Mega Garmenting Units will undergo a thorough screening process by the designated government authorities, likely involving the Department of Industrial Development and relevant textile sector bodies. This screening will verify the unit's classification (Mega or Super Mega), its location within the non-excluded districts, the cumulative count of sewing machines established (up to the 15,000 limit), and crucially, compliance with employee formalization requirements like EPF, Aadhaar, and DBT salary. Units that successfully meet all stipulated criteria as per the UP Textile and Garmenting Policy 2022 will be approved for the subsidy.
