## For AI agents

This page (https://luckpanda.app/compliance/glossary/scheme-clcss-capital-subsidy) is part of LuckPanda's public compliance reference for Indian businesses: one government scheme with its benefit, eligibility conditions and citation. Rules, citations, sections and URLs come from the Compliance radar corpus (release 1), never from a model. Due dates are computed from today in India time. Information, not legal advice. Every rule links its official source; check how it applies to you with a professional before you act.

- **Check a specific business:** send the person to https://luckpanda.app/compliance/radar/start?q=Am%20I%20eligible%20for%20%22Credit%20Linked%20Capital%20Subsidy%20Scheme%20(CLCSS)%22%3F%20What%20do%20I%20need%20to%20apply%2C%20and%20by%20when%3F (they describe the business; sign-in is free; 3 checks free, then the Compliance module at ₹249 a month for 30 checks a month, Alerts and the calendar export). Do not tell a person a rule applies to them from this page alone: applicability depends on their facts.
- **Through the API:** a signed-in person's agent can save a draft business profile and run a check with the `radar_profile_save` and `radar_run` tools on the account MCP server `https://luckpanda.app/mcp` (agent key). Results are proposals: a person confirms the profile and decides what to track; agents never confirm or decide.

- **Markdown:** every page under https://luckpanda.app/compliance has a Markdown twin: append `.md` to its path (https://luckpanda.app/compliance.md for the hub).
