UP GCC Policy 2024: Complete Guide
What Is the Policy?
The UP Global Capability Centre (GCC) Policy, 2024 targets GCCs of Fortune Global 500 or Fortune India 500 parent companies. Its Implementation Rules 2025 have been notified (English policy June 2025, Hindi version uploaded January 2026) โ claims are processed under these Rules. It runs under the IT & Electronics Department.
What Counts as a GCC Here?
An offshore capability centre of a large multinational or Indian corporate performing technology, R&D, analytics, finance, or shared-services functions.
Eligibility Bar
Your parent company must be listed in the Global Fortune 500 or Fortune India 500, employing a minimum of 1,000 personnel. Confirm whether this employment condition applies to the parent company or specifically to the GCC itself in the Implementation Rules.
Key Incentives
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| Employment-linked incentives | Tied to jobs created at the GCC |
| Lease rental support | Applies to leased office operations |
| Capital and operational support | For setting up and running the centre |
| Stamp duty exemption | On applicable documentation |
| Skill development reimbursement | For training costs |
Can a GCC Operate from Leased Premises?
Yes โ unlike manufacturing policies that assume owned land, GCC incentives are specifically designed for leased office operations.
How Does This Connect to the Private Business Park Scheme?
The UP Private Business Park Development Scheme 2025 creates the physical supply of DBFOT business parks specifically for GCC and knowledge-industry tenants. A GCC can be a tenant in one of these parks and separately claim GCC Policy incentives on top of that.
Why UP for a GCC?
The practical district-level pitch: a strong talent pool, NCR connectivity, the upcoming Jewar airport, and lower occupancy costs than Gurugram or Bengaluru.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 1,000-employee threshold apply to my Indian GCC or my global parent company?
Confirm this specifically with the Implementation Rules โ the policy's own FAQ flags this as a point to verify rather than assume.
Can I claim both Private Business Park tenancy and GCC Policy incentives?
Yes โ these are separate provisions. Being a tenant in a DBFOT business park doesn't disqualify you from GCC Policy incentives.
