Chhattisgarh Export Certification Subsidy — Up to ₹1.5 Crore — Frequently Asked Questions

You get back 50% of the certification fees you have paid, subject to a ceiling of ₹15 lakh on a single product. Since a unit may claim for as many as 10 products, the largest possible benefit is ₹1.5 crore. The exact figure depends on the fees actually incurred and how many eligible products you claim for.

No. The scheme operates on a rolling basis, so applications can be filed at any point while the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 is in force. You can apply once the certification fees have been paid and the supporting paperwork is ready.

The scheme is open to units that export electronics and electrical goods, are based in Chhattisgarh, and can show a yearly turnover of at least ₹50 crore for each product they claim on. A commercial export certificate for those products has to be submitted with the application.

It is applied product by product, not on the unit's total revenue. Audited financial statements must be submitted showing the turnover attributable to each product for which reimbursement is sought, so a unit can qualify for one product and not another.

The subsidy covers fees for international certifications and approvals that are needed to export electronics and electrical goods — for example CE marking, RoHS compliance, UL certification, ISO standards and other country-specific product approvals required for market entry.

Formal business structures are eligible: Private Limited Companies, LLPs, One Person Companies, Partnerships and Proprietorships, provided the unit operates within Chhattisgarh.

Neither is listed as a condition for this subsidy. What matters is that the unit exports electronics and electrical goods, holds a relevant commercial export certificate, meets the per-product turnover threshold and is registered as one of the accepted entity types in Chhattisgarh.

It is not repayable. This is a reimbursement scheme, so the amount disbursed is a non-repayable cash benefit once eligibility and compliance conditions are met, and no equity or ownership stake is taken in the applicant unit.

The application requires proof of incorporation, details of the international certifications obtained, invoices for the fees incurred, evidence of payment, a commercial export certificate, and audited financial statements verifying the turnover requirement.

Applications are filed through the designated online portal for incentives under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, available at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/. After submission, the department carries out an initial scrutiny for completeness, may conduct field visits or further verification of export activity and turnover, and then, once the competent authority approves, credits the eligible reimbursement directly to the unit's bank account.

Chhattisgarh Export Certification Subsidy — Up to ₹1.5 Crore is offered by Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, a government body. It is provided as non-dilutive funding.
