The "Assistance For Zed Certification" is a sub-scheme under the broader "Investment Promotion Scheme (IPS)" for the MSME Sector, launched by the Department of Industries, U.T. Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. Originally introduced in 2015, it has been extended to be operative until May 19, 2027.

The overarching objective of the IPS is to provide vital incentives and assistance to the MSME sector, fostering their growth and resilience against market fluctuations. It aims to make these businesses vibrant and successful, encouraging women's participation, reducing local unemployment by incentivizing the employment of resident laborers, and generally nurturing industrial development within the Union Territory.

The specific goal of the "Assistance For Zed Certification" sub-scheme is to promote Zero Defect and Zero Effect (ZED) manufacturing practices among MSMEs. By supporting ZED Assessment and certification, the scheme seeks to create an ecosystem for high-quality, sustainable manufacturing, promote the adoption of quality tools and energy-efficient manufacturing processes, and enable MSMEs to produce superior products. It encourages continuous quality upgrades in products and processes, drives environmentally responsible production, supports the "Make in India" initiative, and aims to develop skilled professionals in ZED manufacturing and certification. This initiative is crucial for MSMEs looking to enhance their competitiveness and sustainability in the global market.

This scheme provides a subsidy of 50%, up to a maximum amount of ₹1,00,000, for all charges related to obtaining Zero Defect and Zero Effect (ZED) Certification. The subsidy is calculated on the amount remaining after deducting any assistance received from the Government of India for ZED Certification. This financial support directly reduces the cost burden on MSMEs, enabling them to invest in quality management systems, energy-efficient manufacturing processes, and overall operational excellence. By facilitating ZED certification, the program helps MSMEs enhance their product quality, improve market competitiveness, and adopt sustainable manufacturing practices without significant financial strain.
