This program facilitates the reimbursement of VAT/CST/GST paid on goods supplied to physically incubated startups that are operating within GoK-supported incubators.

Which startups are eligible for this reimbursement?

Startups must be registered with the Karnataka Startup Cell with a valid KBITS registration number, be physically incubated in a GoK-supported incubator, and have an annual turnover not exceeding Rs. 50 Lakhs.

For how long can a startup claim this reimbursement?

Eligible startups can claim this reimbursement for the first three years of their incubation period.

What types of purchases are covered for reimbursement?

Reimbursement applies to purchases or supplies of goods made after the startup's registration date with the Karnataka Startup Cell. Specific rules apply for pre-GST (VAT/CST) and post-GST periods.
