How state subsidies work

Most state subsidies are written into the state's industrial, MSME or startup policy. They usually pay back part of a cost you have already incurred, such as interest on a term loan, stamp duty, electricity duty, SGST, lease rent, patent filing or quality certification. You normally apply on the state's single-window or industries department portal after the investment or expense, with proof of payment, and a unit generally has to be registered in that state. Each programme page lists its eligibility, the documents asked for and the official link to apply.
