Jharkhand Electricity Duty Reimbursement

Clause 6.6 of the Jharkhand MSME Promotion Policy 2023 provides industrial units with complete exemption from electricity duty in their initial years of operation.

The State refunds **100% of the electricity duty** remitted by the unit for **5 years from the date of commencement of commercial production**. The advantage scales with the unit's actual power usage, as the policy imposes no monetary cap—only the full rate and the five-year period apply.

Since the countdown begins at commercial production commencement, a unit must anchor its claims to that event, not to its incorporation date or the start of construction.

- Access the Jharkhand Single Window portal and file your application under the incentives offered by the MSME Promotion Policy 2023. - Provide documentation confirming the date on which commercial production began. - Furnish electricity bills that itemise the duty component paid during the claim period. - Attach the unit’s registration papers that demonstrate eligibility as per the policy.

The department does not run a competitive selection. It checks the date when commercial production began and the electricity duty that was actually paid, and then refunds the amount for claims made within the five-year period.
