Tripura GST Reimbursement (TIIPIS 2022) — Up to ₹1.3Cr — Frequently Asked Questions

The scheme is advertised at up to ₹1.3 crore, but the working figure is your own tax bill. It returns 100% of the net GST you have paid (net of input tax), limited each year to ₹80 lakh for a Non-Thrust Sector enterprise or ₹125 lakh for a Thrust Sector enterprise. Over a five-year period the total cannot exceed 150% of what you have invested in plant and machinery.

The reimbursement rate is the same 100% in both bands. What changes is the yearly limit: a Non-Thrust Sector unit can be reimbursed up to ₹80 lakh per annum, while a Thrust Sector unit can go up to ₹125 lakh per annum. Your band therefore decides how much of a large GST outgo can come back within a single year.

Yes. Across five years, the aggregating limit of an enterprise's entitlement shall not exceed 150% of the value of investment made in plant and machinery. The scheme does not turn that 150% into a fixed rupee total — it is calculated against your own plant-and-machinery investment, so those books have to be maintained carefully.

No. This is a reimbursement of tax already paid, not an exemption at the filing counter. You continue to deposit net GST as required, and then claim the subsidy with proof that the payment has been made.

Eligible industrial enterprises located in Tripura, in either the Non-Thrust Sector or the Thrust Sector. The unit must have actually paid net GST, net of input tax, because the claim is built on tax that has already gone out. Its five-year entitlement must also fit within 150% of its plant-and-machinery investment.

None of those. It is a State subsidy — the Government of Tripura, through the Department of Industries and Commerce, reimburses net GST the enterprise has already paid. It is not a Central GST refund product, it is not a loan, and no equity is taken in the business.

No. The clause has no closing date and TIIPIS 2022 operates on a rolling basis, so claims can be filed as the tax is paid and the supporting paperwork is in order.

Claims are filed on SWAAGAT at https://swaagat.tripura.gov.in/ under TIIPIS 2022 and submitted to the District Industries Centre with the supporting papers. The Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Tripura administers the scheme.

GST returns and challans showing the net tax paid, papers identifying the unit and its location in Tripura, and a statement of investment in plant and machinery so the five-year 150% limit can be applied. These records should be kept for every year in which a claim is made.

You receive 100% of what you actually paid. The ceiling only bites when the net GST paid is higher than ₹80 lakh or ₹125 lakh for that year — in that case the reimbursement is cut off at the ceiling, and the five-year plant-and-machinery test still applies.
