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

For each eligible worker, an industrial unit receives a one-off reimbursement of whichever is lower — one month's wage for that worker, or ₹15,000. So ₹15,000 is the ceiling per person, and a lower-paid worker may attract a smaller amount. Each employee can be claimed for only once.
