Quick Answer
Jharkhand MSME Policy 2023 reimburses 100% of trademark registration expenditure, up to INR 3 lakh.
About this subsidy
Clause 6.10 of the Jharkhand MSME Promotion Policy 2023 covers the cost of protecting your brand.
Units that obtain a Trademark registration get a reimbursement of 100% of the expenditure incurred, subject to a maximum limit of INR 3 lakh. Because the rate is 100%, the cap is the only real constraint — everything spent on securing the registration, up to INR 3 lakh, comes back.
The benefit is tied to actually obtaining registration, so it is claimed after the mark is granted rather than at the filing stage.
