Which units qualify for this subsidy?

Eligibility usually depends on the unit's classification (micro, small, medium or large), the state and district of location, the date of commercial production and the sector. We run a written eligibility check against the operative policy.

Is the benefit a cash disbursement or a tax adjustment?

It varies by scheme — capital subsidy is a cash disbursement, interest subsidy a reimbursement, and SGST or power incentives are typically reimbursements against paid liability.

How long does sanction and disbursement take?

Most state incentive claims move through a district-level committee and then a state-level sanction, commonly six to eighteen months. Sustained follow-up at each desk is what shortens it.

What should I do next?

Share your IEC, product/HS codes and a short description of your unit. We run a free eligibility check and revert with the applicable benefits, deadlines and documentation list within 48 hours.

Do you handle the filing end to end?

Yes. We handle eligibility mapping, documentation, online filing, departmental follow-up, sanction and disbursement or closure, across Industrial Subsidies and DGFT benefits.
