Chhattisgarh Patent Reimbursement (MeitY E&E)

Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, the Patent Registration Reimbursement scheme extends financial support to units in the Electronics & Electrical (E&E) sector whose products carry recognition from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India.

Patent registration expenses are reimbursed in full — up to 100% — by the Government of Chhattisgarh. The measure is intended to lower the cost burden that deters firms from protecting their technologies, and to direct more spending towards research and development.

For eligible enterprises, the scheme offers a route to secure their inventions, strengthen their market position, and take part in the state's wider industrial growth. It reflects the state's effort to build conditions in which technology-driven businesses can expand while keeping their intellectual assets protected.

Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, an eligible unit seeking reimbursement of patent registration costs must apply through the prescribed process. This excerpt does not set out the individual steps, but the procedure generally requires:

- Filing a formal application with the concerned state industrial department. - Furnishing evidence of patent registration, comprising the patent certificate and official documentation issued by the patent office. - Providing itemised invoices and payment receipts covering every expense incurred in the course of patent registration. - Attaching proof of MeitY recognition for the product where it falls in the Electronics & Electrical sector. - The designated authority thereafter examines the application for verification and approval.
