Selection Process
The selection process for the SGST Reimbursement is primarily a verification and approval mechanism for claims made under the policy. Applications submitted by industrial units are meticulously reviewed by officials from the Department of Industries, Government of Odisha. This involves a multi-stage verification process to confirm the unit's status as a 'new industrial unit', its 'non-mineral based' nature, and its 'location within the notified areas of the Biju Economic Corridor'. Furthermore, the claims for 'net SGST paid' are cross-verified with tax records, and the 'cost of plant and machinery' is assessed to ensure the reimbursement remains within the stipulated 300% cap. Approval is granted upon satisfactory validation of all criteria and documentation as per the Industrial Policy Resolution 2022.
