Tripura Post-5-Year Incentives

The Tripura Industrial Investment Promotion Incentives Scheme, 2022 (TIIPIS 2022), run by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Tripura, keeps a narrower set of benefits running for industrial enterprises that continue operations beyond five years. This head extends support for a further five-year period.

Three benefits are grouped here. Industrial Promotion Subsidy carries on at 25% of Goods and Services Tax (net of input tax) actually paid after 5 years of operation, capped so that the total subsidy paid since commissioning does not exceed 150% of investment in plant and machinery — that 150% is a lifetime ratio against plant-and-machinery investment, not a rupee figure to store as the award. Power charges are provided to all eligible industrial units with connected load above 20 HP at Rs.5.00 per unit with no upper ceiling; units with connected load up to 20 HP receive partial reimbursement of 25% of power charges actually paid, subject to a maximum of Rs.15.00 lakhs per annum per enterprise, and for Thrust Sector Industries the annual upper ceiling is Rs.25 lakhs per enterprise. The Rs.5.00 per unit rate is a tariff support, not the program's amount_max. The highest rupee ceiling named in the clause is Rs.25 lakhs (thrust, up to 20 HP). Employment cost subsidy is paid to MSME enterprises with employment of 20 or more persons at 50% of the employer contribution paid towards EPF and ESI after 5 years of operation. That employment line is one component; GST and power remain available to eligible industrial units more broadly, so this program is not an MSME-only gate.

Treat this incentive as its own umbrella continuation program. It is incentive 13 of TIIPIS 2022, claimed through that scheme's process, and distinct from the first-five-year GST, power and employment heads. It is open on a rolling basis with no advertised closing date. Applications go through the State's SWAAGAT single-window portal at https://swaagat.tripura.gov.in/. The money is reimbursement, not a loan and not equity. Founders keep their equity. The support is not repayable.

- Verify that the unit has finished five years of operations in Tripura and is still running - Sign up or sign in at the SWAAGAT portal, https://swaagat.tripura.gov.in/ - File a claim for the special incentives under TIIPIS 2022 once the five-year operational period is over - GST: enclose returns that show the net GST actually paid, along with calculations demonstrating that the cumulative subsidy since commissioning does not exceed 150% of the plant-and-machinery investment - Power: enclose bills and evidence of connected load (more than 20 HP at Rs.5.00 per unit with no ceiling, or up to 20 HP at 25% subject to the Rs.15.00 lakh ceiling, or Rs.25 lakh yearly under the thrust category) - Employment cost, where the applicant is an MSME with 20 or more persons: enclose the employer EPF and ESI challans for the 50% share - Submit the file and monitor its progress while the Department of Industries and Commerce checks operations, GST, power and, where claimed, EPF and ESI - Once approved, reimbursement is made for each verified head at the rates stated above

There is no competitive round or pitch stage. The Department of Industries and Commerce evaluates every claim individually, applying the TIIPIS 2022 continuation clause. A unit needs five completed years of operation to be considered. For GST, the claim is assessed at 25% of net GST actually paid, subject to a lifetime cap of 150% of the amount invested in plant and machinery. Power claims are determined by connected load: Rs.5.00 per unit with no upper limit for loads exceeding 20 HP, or 25% of charges capped at Rs.15.00 lakhs (Rs.25 lakhs for thrust-sector units) for loads up to 20 HP.

Employment-cost claims are assessed only for MSME enterprises employing 20 or more persons, at 50% of the employer's EPF and ESI contributions. Qualifying under the GST and power heads does not require qualifying under the MSME employment head. Reimbursement follows verification of each head. No ranking is applied between applicants.
