Who is eligible to apply?
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Gujarat's manufacturing sector that are owned and operated by entrepreneurs from the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe communities. The unit must qualify as an MSME, and the claim has to be filed within one year of the certification being issued.
Do I need DPIIT recognition or MSME registration?
MSME status is central to eligibility — this component is meant for micro, small and medium enterprises, and that is the first condition checked. DPIIT recognition does not figure among the published conditions for this component.
Is there an application deadline?
The scheme itself is rolling, so applications can be filed at any point in the year. The deadline that does apply is specific to your unit: you must apply within one year of the date your quality certification was issued.
Which certifications qualify for support?
National and international quality certifications. The standards named as examples include BIS, ISI, WHO, GMP and Hallmark. The essential testing equipment and machinery needed to meet those standards can also be supported.
What exactly does the ERP subsidy cover, and what is left out?
The subsidy is 75% of capital cost, capped at ₹1,00,000, and it takes in software costs, installation charges and annual service costs. Hardware purchases are specifically outside its scope.
Does the scheme take equity or require repayment?
No. This is a government subsidy, so the benefit is non-dilutive — no equity or ownership stake changes hands, and the amount received does not have to be paid back.
How do I apply?

Complete a new investor registration, submit the form, verify your email through the link sent to you, then log in with your registered email and password, fill in your business details and upload the mandatory documents.

Eligibility for this component is tied to manufacturing enterprises in Gujarat. It is not described as being open to businesses outside that manufacturing profile.
