Member-Exporters may apply online by visiting CLE’s Website www.leatherindia.org and clicking on the link “MDA Online” in the Home page.The User Manual for applying the MDA claim is also given in the CLE Website.

After receipt of the MDA Claim Form from Member-Exporters, the Council will scrutinize the application as per the MDA Guidelines and necessary approval will be sent along with the MDA Claim Form to the eligible Member-Exporters to claim MDA after they return from the Event. However, even though the duly filled-up MDA claim form is submitted through online, as a requirement, the hard copy of the MDA claim form along with necessary supporting documents should be sent to the Council by courier for payment.

Please note that the MDA Grant will be released to the Member-Exporters, only after receipt of hard copy of the MDA claim Form along with the supporting documents.
