UP Archived & Superseded Sectoral Policies

5 Superseded Policies IdentifiedLegacy Eligibility May Still ApplyReference Only — Not a GuideLast reviewed: Aug 2026
What this page is for: Uttar Pradesh periodically replaces a sector policy with a newer version — a new fund size, a new nodal agency, or updated incentive rates. If your unit registered, received a Letter of Comfort, or was issued an Eligibility Certificate under an older version of a policy, your entitlement may still follow that older policy's terms rather than the current one. This page lists every case identified so far, compiled from the "What replaced what?" answer on each current policy's own page — it is not an exhaustive legal record of every UP policy ever superseded, only the ones this site has documented.

Superseded Policies

A partial-coexistence case, not full supersession: the UP Pharmaceutical Industry Policy 2018 is not fully superseded — it remains in force specifically for units that already obtained eligibility under it, while all new pharma applications go through the 2023 Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Policy instead. See that page for the switching rules.

What Should I Do If My Unit Might Be Under an Old Policy?

  1. Check the date of your registration, Letter of Comfort, or Eligibility Certificate against the old policy's effective period
  2. 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
  3. 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?
