Some problems may arise in devising and implementing a subsidy system. They are as
follows.
A subsidy may remain unutilized.
If the administration is inefficient or corrupt, subsidy will not produce the desired results.
It is very difficult to measure the impact of subsidies.
Subsidies may lead to inefficiency in the long run.
Subsidies once introduced are difficult to withdraw.
The administrative procedure must be effective.
The cost of administering a subsidy should be considered.
The subsidy scheme should be communicated to prospective beneficiaries.
The quantum of subsidy should be adequate to produce the desired results.
The target groups to whom the subsidy is to benefit should be clearly determined.

The need for incentives and subsidies arises for the following reasons:
1) To Remove Regional Disparities in Development: Industries may be concentrated and
overcrowded in some regions, in order to correct this regional balance, incentives are provided to
entrepreneurs. They will start new ventures in such backward areas. Thus the backward areas
become developed and regional imbalances are corrected.
2) To Provide Competitive Strength, Survival and Growth: several other incentives are
provided for the survival and growth of industries. For example, reservation of products, price
preference etc. will improve the competitive strength. Other concessions like concessional finance,
tax relief etc., contribute their survival and growth.
3) To Generate More Employment and Remove Unemployment: Market adjustments
and external economies play a significant role in the economic development of a country. Subsidies
cause movement of entrepreneurs from developed areas to developing or backward areas. In short,
incentives and subsidies serve as a catalyst to start a dynamic process of development.
4) To Promote Entrepreneurship: Industrial estates, availability of power, concessional
finance, capital investment subsidy, transport subsidy etc, are few examples of subsidies which are
aimed at encouraging entrepreneurs to take up new ventures.
They offer following advantages:
They act as a motivational force which makes the potential entrepreneur to enter into
business activities.
They encourage the entrepreneur to start industries in the backward areas.
They help the government to get a balanced regional development.
They help to develop new enterprises which lead to economic development.
They make the entrepreneur to face competition successfully.
They help to reduce the overall problems of small scale entrepreneurs.
