Selection Process
The selection and disbursement process for this reimbursement scheme focuses on verifying the eligibility of the AYUSH enterprise and the legitimacy of the claimed expenses. Applications, once submitted, will undergo a meticulous review by the relevant department or designated authority within the Government of Himachal Pradesh. This involves a thorough check of the submitted documentation, including verification of AYUSH enterprise status, validation of power tariff bills specifically for ETP and SLWM operations, and confirmation of environmental compliance. In some cases, a site visit to the enterprise's facilities may be conducted to assess the operational status of the ETP and SLWM units. The selection committee or approving authority will ensure that all criteria stipulated in Section 11 of the AYUSH Policy 2019 are met before recommending approval. Once the verification process is successfully completed and approved, the reimbursement amount will be processed and disbursed to the eligible AYUSH enterprise.
