The “Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for Assistance to Mega Industries” is a state initiative designed to support and strengthen the Mega Industry sector in Gujarat. It aims to enhance growth, encourage investments, and contribute to the vision of self-reliant Gujarat and India.

The scheme is operative from October 5, 2022, to October 4, 2032, covering a period of 10 years.

The scheme aims to boost Mega Industry growth, enhance the industrial ecosystem, encourage investments, and contribute to Gujarat’s and India’s self-reliance vision.

Mega Industries established and operating within Gujarat are eligible to benefit from the scheme, as per the criteria defined in the policy framework.

The Net SGST Reimbursement Scheme offers eligible manufacturing units the opportunity to receive a 100% reimbursement of net SGST paid, subject to a maximum of 0.9% of the annual eFCl for a period of 20 years, starting from the date of commencement of commercial production.

Eligible units are those engaged solely in manufacturing eligible products, who have obtained a separate GST registration for manufacturing and meet other necessary conditions outlined in the scheme.

The reimbursement is available for a period of 20 years, beginning from the commencement of commercial production of the eligible products.

The maximum reimbursement is limited to 0.9% of the annual eFCl for each year during the 20-year eligibility period.

No, the unit must only be engaged in the manufacturing of eligible products. If a unit is involved in trading or services, they must maintain separate GST registration for manufacturing to qualify.

If the unit violates the scheme’s conditions, such as misrepresenting sales or failing to comply with GST provisions, the eligibility certificate will be canceled, and the unit will be required to return the incentives along with an 18% annual interest.

The reimbursement amount is based on the net SGST paid by the unit, up to the maximum limit of 0.9% of the annual eFCl, as prescribed under the scheme.

Claims for reimbursement must be submitted on a quarterly basis to the Industries Commissioner, following the prescribed proforma and certification by a Chartered Accountant.

The reimbursement amount is fixed based on the net SGST paid, subject to the 0.9% of the annual eFCl limit, and cannot exceed this cap.

Yes, a unit with multiple industrial projects can apply, but each project must maintain separate books of accounts, and the unit must meet the criteria for each individual project.
