UP MSME ERP & ICT Support Scheme — 75% Subsidy, Up to ₹5 Lakh — Frequently Asked Questions

It funds capital expenditure on two things: approved Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and other ICT facilities. The state reimburses 75% of what the enterprise spends, subject to a ceiling that differs for each of the two heads.

For an ERP installation, the subsidy is 75% of capital expenditure and is capped at ₹1 lakh. For ICT facilities, the subsidy is also 75% of capital expenditure but is capped at ₹5 lakh. The support therefore ranges from ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh depending on what the enterprise installs.

It is a subsidy — in effect a non-repayable reimbursement of part of your capital expenditure. You do not pay it back and you do not give up any equity or stake in the business. Note, though, that the scheme covers only 75% of the cost, so the enterprise bears the remaining 25% itself.
