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.

Who runs them

Punjab's subsidies on this page are offered by Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Punjab and Punjab Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board.
