CRISIL is the pioneer of independent credit ratings in India. In association with NSIC, CRISIL is now rating Small Scale Industries (SSIs) on a special rating scale, using criteria tailored for the small-scale sector. The fees for this rating are presently subsidised upto 75% by the Government, making it a unique opportunity for small enterprises to get themselves rated.
Eligibility for NSIC-CRISIL Rating

Any enterprise registered in India as an SSI Unit can benefit from this rating. As a proof of eligibility, we will require an SSI certificate issued by the concerned SSI registration authority.

Rating Process

• CRISIL receives the completed application form along with the rating fee
• CRISIL's representatives visit the company
• CRISIL's analysts have a short discussion with the management of the company
• CRISIL prepares a rating report, assigns a rating and sends the copy of the report to you and NSIC

Rating Duration

The whole process takes about three to four weeks after CRISIL receives complete information.
