The investor journey — a one-page checklist
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.
| Stage | What the investor does | What the facilitating officer checks |
|---|---|---|
| 0. Diagnosis | States sector, investment size, location preference, employment | Which of the 36 policies applies; whether Rules are notified; whether the policy is still in its operative period |
| 1. Registration | Creates PAN-based ID on Nivesh Mitra 3.0; files dynamic CAF | Registration completed before any construction begins — this is the most common fatal error |
| 2. Land | IDA plot / private land / plug-and-play shed | Title, land use, Section 80 conversion, ceiling clearance, distance-to-infrastructure for reimbursement claims |
| 3. Letter of Comfort | Applies to Invest UP / nodal department | DPR, means of finance, employment plan, category classification (Large / Mega / Super Mega / Ultra Mega) |
| 4. Clearances | UPPCB CTE, fire, factory, power, ground water, FSSAI/Drug/DGCA as applicable | Single-window status; deemed-approval timelines invoked where breached |
| 5. Construction | Milestone reporting on OIMS | Foundation → roof → machinery installation, each triggering partial disbursement |
| 6. Commercial production | First sale invoice; DCP certificate | Date of commercial production fixed and recorded — this determines policy vintage |
| 7. Eligibility Certificate | Applies with CA-certified investment statement | Full document set (see 4.2); no duplicate-claim affidavit |
| 8. Annual claims | Files on OIMS each year | GST returns, EPF/ESI records, employment compliance, continued operation |
| 9. Post-claim | Continues operation through lock-in | Claw-back triggers: closure, relocation, unapproved transfer, employment shortfall |
