About this scheme
The Chhattisgarh AYUSH & Phytomedicine Patent Reimbursement programme operates as an incentive under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. Its purpose is to support innovation and safeguard intellectual property in the state's traditional medicine and plant-based product industries. Businesses developing AYUSH products — Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy — along with phytomedicine, receive financial relief through this initiative. The government meets the full cost of patent registration, with the objective of drawing entrepreneurs and enterprises into research and development, helping them secure proprietary technologies and launch new products.
The scheme addresses the expense of protecting intellectual property, which is a necessary step for taking innovative products to market. It forms part of the state's wider aim of industrial growth, self-reliance and job creation through support to niche, high-potential sectors. Units in these specialised fields may use the reimbursement to protect their formulations and technologies, strengthening their competitive position and adding to Chhattisgarh's economic development.

How to apply
Businesses in the AYUSH and phytomedicine sector seeking incentives must follow the application procedure laid down in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. In practice, this means filing a formal claim with the state authority tasked with industrial promotion and policy implementation. The paperwork to be enclosed covers the unit's proof of legal incorporation or registration, particulars of the patented product, the patent certificate issued by the authority, and carefully maintained records substantiating every fee paid towards patent registration.
How applications are assessed
This reimbursement is not awarded through competition. An application qualifies if it satisfies the stated eligibility criteria and is accompanied by complete, accurate documentation.
A committee or designated officials of the Government of Chhattisgarh then examine the application. Their scrutiny covers three things: whether the applying unit is eligible, whether the patent itself is valid, and whether the patent registration fees claimed were genuinely incurred for products falling strictly within the AYUSH and phytomedicine sectors. The reimbursement is processed once every document has been validated and the criteria are found to be met.
