What Should I Do If My Unit Might Be Under an Old Policy?
- Check the date of your registration, Letter of Comfort, or Eligibility Certificate against the old policy's effective period
- If your Eligibility Certificate hasn't been issued yet, some policies (like the Pharmaceutical Industry Policy) allow switching to the current version with sanctioning committee approval — check the current policy's page for the specific rule
- If your Eligibility Certificate has already been issued under the old policy, your entitlement generally follows that policy's terms, not the new one
Frequently Asked Questions
My unit registered years ago under an older policy version — does the new policy's higher incentive rate apply to me?
Generally no — once your eligibility is established under a given policy version, your entitlement typically follows that version's terms. Confirm against your specific Eligibility Certificate and the Government Order in force when it was issued.
This list doesn't mention my old policy — does that mean it's still active?
Not necessarily. This page only lists supersessions explicitly documented elsewhere on this site. If you're unsure whether a policy you registered under has since been replaced, confirm directly with the relevant nodal department rather than assuming either way.
Not sure which policy version applies to your unit?
ClaimDesk (A NorthStar Advisors brand, Noida) helps you confirm which policy version governs your eligibility and what that means for your entitlement. The first conversation is completely free.
MSMEUP.com is independent information & tools — free, and not run by any consultancy. ClaimDesk is a separate, private consultancy (a NorthStar Advisors brand) for those who want professional filing help; its fee is for that service, not a government charge, and using it is entirely optional — MSMEUP's guides and tools work the same with or without it.
