Frequently asked questions
How much money does this reimbursement scheme give?
It refunds 100% of the fees incurred in obtaining a patent certificate for a product in the AYUSH or phytomedicine sectors. The policy does not lay down a separate rupee ceiling, so the amount mirrors the fees actually paid for a valid patent certificate.
Is there a deadline I need to beat?
No. The scheme is rolling and always open, so you can file your reimbursement claim once you have the patent certificate and proof of the fees paid, without waiting for a specific application window.
Who is eligible to claim this reimbursement?
Pharmaceutical sector units operating within Chhattisgarh that work on AYUSH products (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) or phytomedicine products. The claim has to relate to fees paid for obtaining a patent certificate for such a product.
Does the scheme take equity or a stake in my company?
Can a unit located outside Chhattisgarh apply?
No. The scheme is a component of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, so eligibility is limited to units operating within the state.
Do I need DPIIT or MSME registration to claim?
The scheme guidelines do not list DPIIT or MSME registration as a requirement. What the policy focuses on is that you are a pharmaceutical sector unit in Chhattisgarh, that the product falls under AYUSH or phytomedicine, and that a patent certificate has been granted with fees paid.
Is the reimbursement available while my patent is still pending?
The scheme covers fees incurred in obtaining a patent certificate, and the verification stage confirms that registration was successful. In practice, this means you claim after the certificate has been granted and you can evidence the fees paid.
What documents will I need to submit?
You will need documentary proof of the patent registration — the patent certificate — along with proof of the fees paid, your company incorporation documents, and details of the AYUSH or phytomedicine product concerned. The claim is filed on the prescribed application form.
How and where do I apply?
Submit your application to the designated authority under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. The state's single window portal is the filing point for such applications at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/, and the specific portal or office is named in the general policy document.
Does the scheme apply to startups at every stage?
The policy does not specify startup stages at all. Eligibility turns on being a pharmaceutical unit that meets the sector and product criteria and holds a valid patent with paid fees, so an early-stage or a mature unit can claim on the same basis.
