About this scheme
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the Patent Registration Reimbursement scheme extends financial support to units in the AYUSH and phytomedicine segments. Patenting safeguards new products and processes, and the scheme is intended to encourage research, development and commercialisation of traditional and herbal medicinal solutions.
By covering part of the cost of registering a patent, the Government of Chhattisgarh aims to free up resources that pharmaceutical sector units can direct towards R&D. This is expected to sharpen their competitive position and help them bring validated AYUSH and phytomedicine products to market.
The scheme forms part of a wider effort to build an ecosystem for indigenous medicine in the state and to establish Chhattisgarh as a centre for phytopharmaceutical development, in step with national health and wellness goals. The policy as a whole seeks to create conditions favourable to industrial growth and technological advancement in the state's key sectors.

How to apply
- **Submitting the application**: Pharmaceutical units that qualify must file a reimbursement application with the designated authority under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. This generally means completing a prescribed form. - **Documents to be furnished**: The applicant has to supply documentary proof of patent registration — the patent certificate, evidence of fees paid, company incorporation papers, and particulars of the AYUSH/phytomedicine product. - **Verification**: State authorities will scrutinise the application and the accompanying documents in detail to confirm that the policy guidelines have been met. - **Approval and payment**: Once verification and approval are complete, the full 100% reimbursement of the eligible patent fees is processed and credited to the bank account registered by the applicant. For submission, applicants should use the specific portal or office named in the general policy document.
How applications are assessed
The Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, assesses reimbursement applications through a desk review carried out by a committee or designated officers. Each submission is checked for completeness and for conformity with the eligibility conditions set out in the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.
Verification centres on two points: that the patent has been successfully registered, and that the fees claimed were actually incurred. This ensures the claim stays consistent with the policy's aim of supporting units in the AYUSH and phytomedicine sector.
