Frequently asked questions
How much funding can I get from this subsidy?
The scheme pays back 50% of what you spend on an eligible quality certification, and the reimbursement cannot exceed ₹10 lakhs. So a certification bill of ₹8 lakhs would attract a ₹4 lakh reimbursement, while a much larger bill would be capped at the ₹10 lakh ceiling.
Which certifications qualify for the reimbursement?
The policy names ISO 9000, ISO 14000, ISO 18000, the ISO 22000 category, BIS, ZED, Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), LEBP in new and renewable energy, AGMARK and Euro Standard, along with other similar national and international certifications.
Who is eligible to apply?
Any enterprise operating in Chhattisgarh that is seeking, or has already obtained, one of the certifications listed in the policy. The two things that matter are where you operate and whether the certification you are claiming for is on the approved list.
Can a company based outside Chhattisgarh apply?
No. The subsidy is an incentive under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 and is meant for enterprises operating within the state.
Is this a loan or a grant, and does the government take equity?
Neither a loan nor an equity investment. It is a subsidy paid as a reimbursement for money already spent, which makes it non-repayable, and no shares or ownership in your business are taken in return.
Is there an application deadline?
No. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no fixed closing date and you can file a claim once your certification-related expenditure is ready to be verified.
Is DPIIT recognition or MSME registration required?
The published eligibility criteria do not list DPIIT recognition or MSME registration as a condition. What the policy sets out is that the enterprise operates in Chhattisgarh and that the claim is for a qualifying quality certification.
What documents are needed for the claim?
A claim form, proof of the expenditure incurred on the quality certification, a copy of the certification obtained, and the registration documents of the enterprise. These are submitted to the designated authority for verification.
Should I apply before or after getting the certification?
The subsidy is a reimbursement, and the eligibility wording covers enterprises that are seeking the listed certifications as well as those that have already obtained them. Since proof of expenditure and the certification itself form part of the claim, the paperwork is naturally completed once the certification has been secured; if you are mid-process, confirm your position with the implementing authority before committing the spend.
How and where do I apply?
Claims go through the Chhattisgarh government's online portal at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/. The detailed claim procedure is set out in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, and the completed claim is submitted to the designated authority for verification and approval.
