RAMP Wire & Cable Testing and Certification Reimbursement — Up to ₹5L — Frequently Asked Questions

The reimbursement is capped at ₹5,00,000, and you receive whichever is lower — that ceiling or the actual amount you spent on product testing and certification. So your payout can never exceed your real, documented testing and certification cost.

Your unit must be an Udyam-registered MSME manufacturing wire and cable products, with operations in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. It also needs to have been running for at least one year before you apply, and the expense you claim must be for testing and certification done by an accredited agency, backed by valid invoices and payment proofs.

It is a subsidy-style reimbursement, not an equity investment. You pay the testing or certification agency first, and the UT Administration pays that cost back to you up to ₹5,00,000. No equity, shares or ownership in your business changes hands, and there is no loan to repay.

The reimbursement covers CE, UL, RoHS, REACH, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, CPR, BASEC and BIS Certification, as well as Type Test Reports from NABL-accredited laboratories. This list is illustrative — other government-recognised or authorised certifications can also be considered, subject to prior approval.

Yes. Being an Udyam-registered MSME unit is a baseline requirement, along with operating from Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu and manufacturing wire and cable products. The Udyam registration certificate is also one of the documents you upload with the application.

No fixed deadline — the intervention runs on a rolling, always-open basis. That said, applications are processed first-come, first-served and are subject to the funds available for this intervention, so it makes sense to file as soon as your paperwork is complete.

Along with the prescribed application form (Annexure I), you upload the supporting documents listed in Annexure II. In practice these include valid invoices and payment proofs for the testing or certification services, your Udyam registration certificate, proof that the unit has been operational for at least one year, and the relevant company incorporation documents.

Applications are made entirely online. Visit the UT Administration's Single Window Portal at http://swp.dddgov.in/, fill in the prescribed Annexure I form, upload the Annexure II documents, and submit the completed application to the General Manager, District Industries Centre (DIC).

Complete applications are generally processed within 90 days of submission, provided all information is accurate and compliant. Once the UT RAMP Programme Committee recommends the case and the DIC issues a sanction order, the approved amount is credited directly to your loan or cash credit account via RTGS/NEFT.

The agency that carried out the testing or certification must possess valid national or international accreditation. For Type Test Reports, the scheme specifically refers to NABL-accredited laboratories. The invoices and payment proofs you submit are what establish the cost and the legitimacy of the claim.
