About this scheme
The Government of Haryana operates the Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme, which is intended to improve product quality and global competitiveness among Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in the state.
MSEs often struggle financially to acquire advanced testing infrastructure. The scheme addresses this by providing financial aid towards the purchase of new testing equipment.
With this subsidy, businesses can set up testing facilities for raw materials and finished products, helping them meet 'Zero Defect' quality standards. The scheme is meant to ease the resource constraints that keep MSEs from investing in quality control infrastructure, encourage quality improvement, and help them compete better in domestic and international markets.

How applications are assessed
Applications received via the Antyodaya-SARAL Portal are assessed for eligibility. This entails checking the Udyam Registration Certificate and the Haryana Udhyam Memorandum, along with other specified conditions — whether commercial production has commenced and whether the applicant appears on any restrictive lists. District MSME Centre officials may also visit the site to confirm that the unit is operational and that the equipment is genuinely intended for purchase.
Once the documents and physical conditions are verified, the subsidy claim moves forward for processing and disbursement. Selection under this scheme rests on administrative compliance with laid-down rules rather than competition between applicants.
