About this scheme
Under the Jammu and Kashmir Industrial Policy 2021-30, a unit that secures a quality certificate is eligible to recover **30% of the procurement cost, subject to a ceiling of ₹2 lakh**.
A Chartered Accountant must certify the claim. The reimbursement applies to the fees a unit incurs in getting its product or process certified — expenditure that is unavoidable before selling into institutional or export channels, yet is seldom built into the budgets of small manufacturers.
The scheme extends to all industries in the UT, covering commercial and institutional units as well.
