Most of this needs a filing to unlock

A patent or trademark reimbursement line only pays out once the filing exists — the state reimburses a cost you have already committed to, it does not fund the decision to file. Our registered Patent & Trade Marks Agents can tell you, for your specific invention or brand, which of these lines you would actually be able to claim.

Checked 23 Aug 2026. A state policy is typically revised every year or two, sometimes by a notification that changes one figure rather than the whole document. Confirm the current cap with the state, or with us, before relying on one.

This is not legal advice, and ISERDIndia is not the scheme's administering authority. Whether your specific business qualifies is a separate conversation.
