Net SGST Reimbursement — Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the Net SGST Reimbursement, startups must meet several key criteria, ensuring they are genuinely contributing to Haryana's economic development and possess innovative potential.

Applicants must hold a valid recognition certificate from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), confirming their status as a nationally recognized startup. The startup must be officially registered and actively conducting commercial operations exclusively within the state of Haryana. This includes entities structured as private limited companies, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), or partnerships.

Furthermore, applicants are required to possess a valid Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration in Haryana and demonstrate active payment of State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) on their taxable supplies originating from Haryana. The reimbursement is precisely calculated based on the 'Net SGST,' which is defined as the total SGST deposited minus any eligible input tax credit utilized. This ensures only the actual tax burden borne by the startup is considered for the benefit. The program supports startups in their revenue-generating and profitable stages.

Finally, startups must maintain comprehensive, audited financial statements and ensure the timely submission of all regular GST returns. This robust financial compliance is essential for transparency, accountability, and the efficient verification of claims by the government.

Net SGST Reimbursement is open to startups at the revenue and profitable stage. The programme is targeted at startups registered in Haryana. Applicants should be registered as private limited, llp and partnership. Applicants must hold DPIIT (Startup India) recognition.
