About this scheme
The Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme, introduced by the Government of Haryana, is designed to improve product quality and the international competitiveness of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in the state. It addresses the financial difficulties these businesses face when investing in advanced testing infrastructure by offering financial support. The scheme subsidises the purchase of new testing equipment, enabling firms to set up robust facilities for testing both raw materials and finished goods, in line with 'Zero Defect' quality standards.
This initiative seeks to ease the resource constraints that often prevent MSEs from investing in essential quality control infrastructure. By doing so, it encourages a culture of quality improvement and helps these enterprises compete more effectively in domestic and export markets.

How applications are assessed
Applications submitted via the Antyodaya-SARAL Portal are examined for eligibility. This review includes checking the Udyam Registration Certificate, the Haryana Udhyam Memorandum, and adherence to other conditions, such as having commenced commercial production and not appearing on any restrictive lists. Officials from the District MSME Centre may also carry out site visits to confirm that the unit is operational and that the equipment is intended for the stated purpose.
Once all documentation and physical checks are cleared, the subsidy claim is processed and paid out. The scheme operates on an administrative basis rather than a competitive one, with approval hinging on meeting the prescribed rules.
