How does an MSME exporter claim interest subvention on export credit?
As of the Government's February 2026 summary, you file an Intent-to-Claim before the support starts, which generates a Unique Identification Number that you give your lender. The lender extends the credit and files the claim. Timing rules sit in Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) trade notices, so confirm them first.
The steps
- File an Intent-to-Claim on dgft.gov.in before you take the support. This generates a Unique Identification Number (UIN).
- Share the UIN with your lending institution.
- The lender extends the pre-shipment or post-shipment export credit.
- Your lender files the claim with the implementing agency; check the current DGFT trade notice for which one.
Who does what
- You: the Intent-to-Claim and handing the UIN to your lender.
- Your lender: the credit and the claim.
Before you draw the loan
Ask your bank when the UIN must exist relative to the day the credit is disbursed. That timing is set in DGFT trade notices (33/2025-26 and 03/2026-27 are the ones to check), and the Government's summary does not give it. Ask before you draw, because support can depend on it.
Where emissions come in
The Government's description of the claim steps has no emissions step. Carbon records matter to a different request: a European Union (EU) buyer or a bank asking how your goods are made.
What Senseible does here
Senseible does not file claims. It builds a dated emissions record from your fuel and power bills, for the buyer and bank requests that sit beside your credit. Senseible does not lend. It connects verified records to its financing partners, the partner decides, and nothing is guaranteed.
