Tripura Post-5-Year Incentives: ₹25L Subsidy Under TIIPIS 2022 — Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Answers to the questions founders most often ask about Tripura Post-5-Year Incentives: ₹25L Subsidy Under TIIPIS 2022 — who qualifies, the funding amount, required documents and how the application works.

Frequently asked questions

How much funding does this programme offer?

It works through three separate reimbursement heads rather than one lump sum. Industrial Promotion Subsidy pays 25% of the net GST actually paid. Power support pays either ₹5.00 per unit for connected load above 20 HP, or 25% of power charges up to ₹15 lakh a year (₹25 lakh for Thrust Sector Industries) for loads up to 20 HP. MSME enterprises with 20 or more employees can claim 50% of the employer EPF and ESI contribution.

What GST support continues after five years?

An Industrial Promotion Subsidy at 25% of the Goods and Services Tax actually paid, net of input tax, for units that have been operating for five years. There is a lifetime condition attached: the total subsidy paid since the project was commissioned cannot go past 150% of the investment made in plant and machinery.

What is the highest rupee ceiling in this clause?

₹25 lakh per enterprise per annum — that is the Thrust Sector Industries ceiling on the 25% power-charge reimbursement for units with connected load of up to 20 HP. The ₹5.00 per unit rate for loads above 20 HP carries no upper ceiling. The 150% of plant-and-machinery test is a lifetime ratio, not a rupee award.

How does power support differ by connected load?

Loads above 20 HP are supported at ₹5.00 per unit with no upper ceiling. Loads up to 20 HP get 25% of the power charges actually paid, subject to a maximum of ₹15 lakh per annum, which becomes ₹25 lakh per annum for Thrust Sector Industries.

Who qualifies for the employment cost subsidy?

Only MSME enterprises that employ 20 or more persons. They receive 50% of the employer contribution paid towards EPF and ESI once they have completed five years of operation. The GST and power heads under this same programme are open to eligible industrial units more broadly and are not restricted to that MSME line.

Is this a loan, or does the State take equity?

Neither. These are subsidy reimbursements paid by the State. They are equity-free, so founders keep their shareholding, and the support is not repayable.

Do I need DPIIT or MSME registration?

No DPIIT mandate is stated in this clause. MSME status does matter for one head only — the employment-cost subsidy is limited to MSME enterprises with 20 or more staff. The GST and power supports are not gated on that.

Where and how do I apply?

Claims go through the Government of Tripura's SWAAGAT single-window portal at https://swaagat.tripura.gov.in/. You open a claim under TIIPIS 2022 for the special incentives available after five years of operation, then track the file while the Department of Industries and Commerce verifies it.

Is there an application deadline?

No closing date is advertised. This head is rolling under TIIPIS 2022 and stays open for units that have completed five years of operation.

What documents are typically needed?

Evidence that the unit has operated continuously for five years, GST returns showing the net GST actually paid along with workings that the aggregate subsidy since commissioning stays within 150% of plant-and-machinery investment, power bills and connected-load proof for the power head, and — where the MSME employment line is claimed — muster rolls plus employer EPF and ESI challans covering 20 or more persons.
