Get Your ZED Certificate
With CapitalBox
Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) Certification helps your MSME cut waste, boost quality and unlock government subsidies of up to 80% on certification cost. CapitalBox handles your ZED Pledge, documentation and assessment end-to-end.
A National Push For Zero Defect, Zero Effect Manufacturing
ZED Certification is a Ministry of MSME initiative that helps Indian MSMEs build globally competitive, sustainable operations — products with zero defects and zero negative impact on the environment.
It's structured as a clear improvement ladder. Every MSME takes the ZED Pledge, gets assessed against quality, energy, environment and process parameters, and is rated Bronze, Silver or Gold based on performance.
Bronze — First Step
Entry-level certification covering foundational quality, safety and process documentation.
Silver — Deeper Commitment
Stronger adherence to sustainable practices, energy efficiency and quality control systems.
Gold — Global Standard
The highest tier — comprehensive excellence in quality and sustainability, at par with global leaders.
Most Of Your Certification Cost Is Covered By The Government
Subsidy on certification cost is based on your enterprise category under Udyam Registration — and CapitalBox helps you claim every rupee you're eligible for.
Micro Enterprises
Highest subsidy slab — most micro MSMEs get certified for a fraction of the listed cost.
Small Enterprises
Significant cost coverage on Bronze, Silver and Gold certification levels alike.
Medium Enterprises
Half the certification cost subsidised, with additional incentives where applicable.
Extra 10% subsidy for Women/SC/ST-owned MSMEs and units in NER, Himalayan, LWE or aspirational districts. Plus a ₹10,000 joining reward on taking the ZED Pledge, usable toward your certification fee.
