How to Apply for Tool Assistance Scheme for Pottery Artisans — 75% Tool Subsidy, Gujarat

Selection here is a verification-led exercise rather than a competition or a pitch round.

• Application filing — you submit the form online through the eKutir portal, or offline to the institute.
• Completeness and document review — the Gujarat Matikam Kalakari & Rural Technology Institute checks that every mandatory field is filled and that the required papers, including the certificate of pottery involvement and age proof, are attached.
• Beneficiary contribution — depositing your 25% share, normally as a demand draft drawn in favour of 'GMK & RTI', works as an early screening step showing genuine intent.
• Assessment by committee or designated officers — the institute examines the application in detail against the scheme's conditions.
• Field verification — officers may carry out visits or follow-ups to confirm your direct involvement in pottery and the intended use of the tool.
• Post-selection examination — after the tools reach the applicants, officers conduct personal examinations to make sure the assistance is being used only for pottery work. If the terms are violated, the value of the tool assistance can be recovered by the revenue organisation.
