Frequently asked questions
How much funding does this scheme provide?
It reimburses 75% of the fee you pay for an eligible audit, with the amount capped at ₹50,000 per audit service. If your audit bill is smaller, you get 75% of it; if it is larger, ₹50,000 is the maximum you can claim.
Who is eligible to apply?
Existing MSME units located in Uttar Pradesh. The programme is aimed at units already running in the state that want to have a green practices, environmental, energy conservation or water conservation audit carried out.
Which audit services are covered?
Three areas qualify: green practices and environmental audit, plus related audits for energy conservation and water conservation. The service you claim for has to fall within these categories.
Is there an application deadline?
No. The scheme operates on a rolling, always-open basis, so there is no fixed last date to race against. Claims are still assessed against the terms of the Uttar Pradesh MSME Promotion Policy 2022, so it is worth checking the current requirements before you commission an audit.
Is DPIIT Startup India recognition required?
No. DPIIT recognition is not required for this scheme. What counts is that your unit is an existing MSME in Uttar Pradesh and that the audit being claimed is one of the covered categories.
Does the scheme take equity in my business?
No. This is a reimbursement subsidy rather than an investment, so no equity, shares or ownership stake is taken in exchange for the money.
Do I have to pay for the audit before I get the money?
Yes. The scheme works on a reimbursement model — you engage the auditor and settle the bill, then submit your claim with the supporting documents and receive the eligible share back.
What documents are needed for the claim?
Typically proof of your MSME registration, original invoices from the audit service provider, and the completed audit reports setting out the scope and findings. The Uttar Pradesh MSME Promotion Policy 2022 document specifies the exact forms and report formats, so refer to it before filing.
How and where do I apply?

Applicants should also refer to the full Uttar Pradesh MSME Promotion Policy 2022 document for the application guidelines, the formats for audit reports and the specific forms required to claim reimbursement.
