Frequently asked questions

How much does the Project Report Subsidy pay out?

The reimbursement is worked out as 1% of the enterprise's Fixed Capital Investment, with a ceiling of ₹10 Lakh. The two figures operate together, so the amount you receive is the smaller of the two.

Who is eligible to claim this subsidy?

The scheme is for newly set-up Micro, Small or Medium Enterprises that operate in the services sector and are located in Chhattisgarh. The business must also have actually spent money on preparing a project report, since the benefit is a reimbursement of that cost.

Is there a deadline for applying?

No. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, which means the window stays open and you can file your claim whenever your documentation is ready. There is no cut-off date to plan around.

What exactly does the subsidy cover?

It covers the expense of getting the project report prepared. The authorities look at invoices or receipts for that specific work, so the claim is tied to a documented, verifiable cost rather than to general business spending.

Does the scheme take equity in my company?

No. This is a subsidy paid as a reimbursement, not an investment. No shares are issued, no stake is transferred to the government, and the money does not have to be paid back.

What documents will I need to submit?

You will typically need official proof of your MSME registration, evidence showing that the enterprise is new and operates in the services sector, and invoices or receipts covering the project report cost. All financial documents should be verifiable, and every form should be filled in accurately and completely.

How do I apply for the Project Report Subsidy?

Start by reviewing the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, particularly the section dealing with this incentive, since it contains the application guidelines and required annexures. The claim is then submitted online through the state portal at swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/, after which it goes through verification and approval.

My unit is in manufacturing, or my business is based outside Chhattisgarh. Can I still apply?

No. The scheme is restricted to enterprises in the services sector that are based in Chhattisgarh, so a business outside the state or one operating in a different sector would not qualify.

How is my application assessed, and when do I get the money?

Officials review whether the enterprise meets the eligibility conditions for newly set-up services-sector MSMEs and whether the documentation supporting the project report cost is authentic, in line with the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. On approval, the eligible amount is credited to your company's bank account, and the administering authority will let you know the timeline for disbursement.
