Voucher Scheme is an external support mechanism towards the price based services of BDS providers (Consultants, Service providers) to MSME firms. It is intended to give a fillip to the demand of BDS providers from the MSMEs (firms) as an incentive scheme.
The whole idea of Voucher Cost rests on the premise that instead of being a permanent subsidy based mechanism, it should be reduced on tapering pattern overtime and finally withdrawn over the medium run once the BDS services begin to be demanded by firms on regular basis and such markets between the BDS-Firms appear functioning smoothly within the cluster.
