Frequently asked questions
How much funding can an AYUSH enterprise receive?
The overall ceiling is ₹3 lakh per enterprise, counting all eligible facilities together. Within that, 25% of what you spend on qualifying plant, machinery and equipment is reimbursed, subject to a ₹1 lakh cap on any single facility.
What percentage of my equipment cost is reimbursed?
The scheme returns 25% of the actual expenditure you have incurred on eligible plant, machinery or equipment.
Which facilities qualify for this reimbursement?
Three types of environmental infrastructure are covered: an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), a Solid Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) system, and a rainwater harvesting facility.
Who is eligible to apply?
Registered AYUSH enterprises that operate in Himachal Pradesh, have spent money on one of the eligible environmental facilities, and comply with the relevant state and central regulations governing their business.
Is this a grant, a loan or equity funding?
It is a subsidy paid out as a reimbursement, so it is non-repayable provided the terms and conditions are met. No equity is taken in your enterprise and no interest is charged.
Is there an application deadline?
No. Applications run on a rolling basis and the scheme is always open, so you do not need to wait for a specific window to file your claim.
What documents will I need to submit?
Expect to provide itemised invoices for the plant, machinery or equipment, proof of payment, technical specifications and layout drawings of the installed ETP, SLWM or rainwater harvesting facility, and any environmental clearances or no-objection certificates. Documents confirming your registration as an AYUSH unit, your incorporation details and your operational status in Himachal Pradesh will also be required. The official 'Incentives Guide.pdf' lists the exact forms, checklists and submission procedure, so it is worth maintaining thorough records of every expenditure and installation.
Can I claim the reimbursement for more than one facility?
Yes. You can claim for multiple eligible facilities, but each one is capped at ₹1 lakh, and the total you can receive across the enterprise cannot exceed ₹3 lakh.
How and where do I apply?
Claims under this scheme are filed through the Himachal Pradesh online services portal at https://emerginghimachal.hp.gov.in/online-services. Because the incentive sits under the AYUSH Policy 2019, applications go to the designated government department handling it — the Department of AYUSH or the Department of Industries — and the policy document sets out where submissions are made.
Will government officials visit my site?
It is possible. As part of verification, a physical inspection or site visit may be carried out to confirm that the installed plant and machinery actually exist and are operational, and that they meet environmental standards.
