How to Apply for UP PF/ESI Reimbursement Scheme — 3-Year Employer PF & ESI Cover

There is no competition or scoring round here. A claim moves forward or it does not, based on whether the startup matches the conditions set out in the UP Startup Policy.

• Filing: the startup reviews the policy guidelines, including Section 7.A.2.x on the Invest UP website, confirms it meets every condition, and submits a reimbursement claim through the designated portal or to the authority that administers UP Startup Policy incentives.
• Verification: the State Government or its appointed implementing agency checks the startup's StartinUP registration status, how long it has been operating, and the details of the PF and ESI contributions it has paid.
• Approval and disbursement: once the documentation is found compliant, the claim is approved and the reimbursement is released to the startup.
