Tripura Power Charges Reimbursement: ₹5/Unit or 25% Under TIIPIS 2022 — Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on load. A unit whose connected load is above 20 HP gets electricity covered at ₹5.00 per unit, with no ceiling stated in the clause. A unit at up to 20 HP gets 25% of the charges it has actually paid, capped at ₹15 lakh a year for a Non-Thrust Sector enterprise and ₹25 lakh a year for a Thrust Sector enterprise.

The clause is written for industrial units located in Tripura. The benefit is claimed against consumption that has been recorded and paid for, so it does not go to a housing colony or a commercial shop that merely shares a feeder. The eligibility text does not limit the incentive to MSMEs.

It settles which of the two formulas you fall under. Cross 20 HP of connected load and the unit moves to the ₹5.00 per unit path, which carries no stated ceiling. Stay at or below 20 HP and the unit moves to the 25% reimbursement path, where the annual cap is ₹15 lakh or ₹25 lakh depending on whether the enterprise is Non-Thrust or Thrust.

No. Those are annual ceilings on a reimbursement, not lump sums. A unit at up to 20 HP recovers a quarter of what it actually paid for power, and the recovery stops at ₹15 lakh a year (Non-Thrust) or ₹25 lakh a year (Thrust). The above-20 HP path has no rupee cap in the clause at all — the figure there is ₹5.00 per unit.

Neither. This is a subsidy on electricity charges, so there is no equity dilution and no repayment obligation attached to it. There is also no clawback in the clause, provided the unit remains eligible.

In the up-to-20 HP band, yes — the reimbursement is worked out on charges that have already been paid. In the above-20 HP band the clause provides power charges at the rate of ₹5.00 per unit. Either way, keep the licensee's bills and the load papers.

There is none for this clause. TIIPIS 2022 operates on a rolling basis, so a claim can be filed as and when the unit has its bills and load documents in order.

Licensee proof of sanctioned or connected load, the monthly electricity bills, and payment receipts.
