Ten things to tell every investor in the first meeting
This is a starter structure from the source guide's own content - not
independently verified. Confirm every document requirement, timeline, portal name and contact
against the current official source before use.
- Register on Nivesh Mitra 3.0 before you start construction. Most rejections trace back to this.
- Choose one policy per head of incentive. Get the opt-in confirmed in writing.
- Check whether implementation Rules are notified. A policy without Rules cannot pay you.
- State incentives top up Central schemes — apply for both in parallel, not sequentially.
- Regional gradation is real. In Gautam Buddh Nagar and Ghaziabad you are in the lowest slab for the general policies; your strongest instruments are the statewide-uniform ones (Data Centre, GCC, Semiconductor, ECMP, Business Park, Plug & Play).
- Employment conditions are enforceable, not aspirational. Maintain domicile records from day one.
- Milestone-linked disbursement exists under OIMS — you do not have to wait until production for every rupee.
- Land use conversion under Section 80 is now materially faster; do not let a consultant sell it as a bottleneck.
- There is a claw-back clause. Closure, relocation or an unapproved transfer within the lock-in period means recovery with interest.
- Ask for an Udyami Mitra if your project touches more than two departments.
