Chhattisgarh Training Cost Reimbursement — ₹15,000 Per Employee — Frequently Asked Questions

It reimburses the training expenses a new services-sector unit incurs for its skilled and semi-skilled employees who are Chhattisgarh domiciles. The state pays back a portion of that training spend, subject to the scheme's limits, under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.

The reimbursement is one-time per employee and equals one month's wage paid by the employer, or ₹15,000, whichever is less. So if the employee's monthly wage is above ₹15,000, the claim is capped at ₹15,000; if the wage is lower, the actual wage amount is what gets reimbursed.

New industries operating in the services sector are the intended beneficiaries. The scheme is designed for newly established units, and their employees must also meet the domicile and wage conditions for a claim to be valid.

The employee must be a skilled or semi-skilled worker who is domiciled in Chhattisgarh, and their monthly wage must be less than ₹50,000. Both conditions need to be satisfied for each individual employee included in the claim.

Yes. Only employees drawing a monthly wage below ₹50,000 can be counted towards a reimbursement claim, in addition to the requirement that they hold Chhattisgarh domicile.

The reimbursement can be claimed for five years from the date of commercial production or operational activity. It also stops once the total reimbursed reaches 100% of the industry's fixed capital investment. Whichever of these two limits is reached first ends the benefit.

The first claim becomes payable one year after the employee's appointment. Subsequent claims can be made in line with the policy guidelines, as long as the overall ceiling on the benefit has not been exhausted.

Neither. This is a reimbursement subsidy — the state returns part of a training cost the unit has already borne. No equity stake is taken in the business, and the amount does not have to be paid back.

The application needs details of the trained employees, proof of their Chhattisgarh domicile, wage records, and evidence of the training expenses incurred. These are scrutinised during verification to confirm compliance with the policy conditions.
