HP AYUSH Recruitment Assistance: ₹10,000 per Hire, Up to ₹50,000 — Frequently Asked Questions

An enterprise receives ₹10,000 for every employee it recruits, and the total claim is capped at ₹50,000 per unit. So if you hire three people you can claim ₹30,000, and if you hire eight you still receive ₹50,000.

AYUSH enterprises that are operating within Himachal Pradesh. There is no separate stage requirement mentioned, so both newly set up businesses and those expanding their teams can claim the assistance.

Businesses working in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha or Homoeopathy. If your operations fall within those traditional medicine systems, you fit the sector definition used by the scheme.

Neither. This is a grant-based incentive under the AYUSH Policy 2019. Nothing is repaid, and no stake in your company is taken in return.

No fixed closing date applies to this particular incentive. It runs on a rolling basis as part of the wider AYUSH Policy 2019 application process, for as long as that policy stays active.

It is calculated per recruit at a flat ₹10,000 each, then capped at ₹50,000. The cap applies per unit, so a large hiring round does not push the assistance any higher than that ceiling.

It is described as a one-time benefit, so it is not a recurring payment. The assistance supports the recruitment effort once, up to the ₹50,000 limit.

Typically a formal application form specific to the incentive, proof that you are an AYUSH enterprise in Himachal Pradesh, and evidence of the recruitment itself — offer letters, employment contracts and initial payroll records for the people you hired.

The scheme details do not list DPIIT or MSME registration as a condition. Eligibility is framed around being an AYUSH enterprise with operations in Himachal Pradesh, and around proving the recruitment you are claiming for.

Applications go through the general incentive process under the AYUSH Policy 2019 and are submitted to the Department of AYUSH, Government of Himachal Pradesh, or its designated agency. The state's online services portal at emerginghimachal.hp.gov.in is the application route.
