UP Staff Quarter/Dormitory Subsidy — 25% of Cost up to ₹5 Cr

The Staff Quarter/Dormitory Subsidy is one of the incentives bundled into Uttar Pradesh's Textile and Garmenting Policy 2022. It is run by the state government and is aimed at textile and garmenting units that put up housing for their workforce — staff quarters, worker hostels or dormitories — within Uttar Pradesh. There is no fixed closing date; applications move on a rolling basis.

Housing is a heavy, upfront cost for a manufacturing unit. This incentive lightens it by returning a quarter of what the project costs, subject to a ceiling of ₹5 crore for a single unit. Worker accommodation is treated as part of the industrial infrastructure the state wants to build out, so the subsidy exists to make it workable for units to house the people who run their production lines.

The money does not arrive before the work does. It is released as a reimbursement: the unit funds the construction itself, and once the building is complete and the authorities have verified both the structure and the expenditure, the claim is paid out. In effect this is capital-expenditure support rather than working capital.

Because the support is a subsidy, it is non-repayable and does not involve handing over any equity in the business.

• Subsidy of 25% of project cost, capped at ₹5 crore per unit
• Covers construction of staff quarters, worker hostels and dormitories
• For textile and garmenting units under the UP policy of 2022
• Paid as a reimbursement after the work is completed and verified
• Rolling applications — no fixed closing date
• Non-repayable subsidy, not a loan

The eligibility conditions attached to this incentive are narrow and specific.

• The applicant must be a unit that is constructing staff quarters, worker hostels or dormitories in Uttar Pradesh.
• The construction must fall within the scope of the Uttar Pradesh Textile and Garmenting Policy 2022, which places the applicant in the textile and garmenting sector.

This is a state-level incentive, so the housing has to come up inside Uttar Pradesh. The published details do not set out a DPIIT recognition requirement, an MSME registration condition, an entity-type restriction, a company-age limit or any founder-level criterion. Applicants should confirm the exact paperwork expected of them against the policy guidelines, and note that the subsidy is claimed per unit and is capped at ₹5 crore.

UP Staff Quarter/Dormitory Subsidy — 25% of Cost up to ₹5 Cr is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

UP Staff Quarter/Dormitory Subsidy — 25% of Cost up to ₹5 Cr accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.

A qualifying unit recovers 25% of the project cost of building staff quarters, worker hostels or dormitories, with the reimbursement capped at ₹5 crore per unit.

• Share of cost covered: 25% of the eligible project cost.
• Upper limit: ₹5 crore for one unit.
• What it covers: construction of staff quarters, worker hostels and dormitories.
• Form of support: cash, released as a reimbursement.

Nothing is paid upfront. The unit completes the construction, the authorities verify it, and the subsidy is then claimed against evidence of the money actually spent. Because the benefit is structured as a reimbursement of eligible expenditure rather than as a repayable facility, the amount received does not have to be returned.

The policy framework in which this subsidy sits also carries regulatory support measures for the units it covers, alongside the cash incentive.

UP Staff Quarter/Dormitory Subsidy — 25% of Cost up to ₹5 Cr is offered by Government of Uttar Pradesh, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India. You can verify current details and timelines on the provider's official website before applying.

• Documentation: a detailed project report is prepared, together with cost estimates, architectural plans and any other papers relating to the housing construction.
• Submission: the complete application with all supporting documents is filed with the designated authority named in the policy.
• Screening and evaluation: a committee examines the proposal. It verifies that the unit and the project fit the policy, that the guidelines have been followed and that the costs claimed are valid. Submitted documents, plans and financial statements are reviewed, and site visits or requests for additional information can form part of this due diligence.
• Completion and verification: after the project is finished, the authorities verify it on the ground.
• Reimbursement claim: the unit files a claim supported by proof of expenditure, following which the subsidy is released.
