Quick Answer
Maharashtra: SGST refund, interest subsidy and stamp duty exemption for new manufacturing MSMEs
Bundled incentives linked to investment zone (taluka classification) and enterprise size. Key components: (1) Industrial Promotion Subsidy (IPS) — MSMEs can get up to 100% SGST refund on first sale in Maharashtra during the eligibility period. (2) Interest subsidy on term loans (5% Micro/Small; 3% Medium; 2% Large; higher in backward zones). (3) Electricity tariff subsidy in Vidarbha, Marathwada, North Maharashtra and backward districts. (4) Stamp duty and registration exemption. (5) Power-connection charge waiver in backward zones.
What You Get
Maharashtra PSI 2019 bundles five categories of incentives for eligible manufacturing units. The Industrial Promotion Subsidy (IPS) provides MSMEs with up to 100% SGST refund on first sales in Maharashtra during the eligibility period. Interest subsidies of 5% (Micro/Small), 3% (Medium), and 2% (Large) are offered on term loans, with higher rates in backward zones. Additional benefits include electricity tariff subsidies in Vidarbha, Marathwada, North Maharashtra, and backward districts, along with full stamp duty and registration fee exemptions. Power-connection charge waivers are available in backward zones. These are non-dilutive, non-repayable incentives — no equity is taken and no repayment is required.
The eligibility period depends on the taluka zone. Backward and most-backward areas attract longer eligibility windows; check the MAITRI portal or your District Industries Centre (DIC) for zone-specific durations.
Applications are submitted online through the MAITRI portal (maitri.mahaonline.gov.in). Units must register their project, submit required documents, and obtain an Eligibility Certificate (EC) from DIC or MIDC before claiming benefits.
Units in Vidarbha, Marathwada, North Maharashtra, and backward districts get additional electricity tariff subsidies and power-connection charge waivers on top of the standard IPS and interest subsidy components.
