We’ll also look at the data on how many Haryana entrepreneurs are already using these schemes and what the opportunities are.

How Haryana’s startups can take advantage?

Haryana has recently updated its startup and MSME ecosystem with strong policy support. Via the Haryana State Startup Policy 2022 and other incentives, the state offers seed grants, subsidies, GST/SGST reimbursement and regulatory ease.

As a Haryana-based startup or MSME you should:

• Register with the state nodal agency (for example via Startup Haryana) so you become eligible for state incentives.
• Use the fiscal benefits: seed funding, lease rental subsidies, patent reimbursement, SGST reimbursement.
• Combine state benefits with national schemes (loan-linked, credit guarantee, subsidies) to reduce your cost of capital and risk.
• Keep documentation ready: incorporation certificate, startup recognition (by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)), HUM (Haryana Udhyam Memorandum) for MSME, etc.
• Put in place proper business plan and cost sheet so that you can easily apply for subsidies / loans and fulfil the eligibility criteria.

How to combine State + National schemes:
For example, as a Haryana startup you might claim seed grant (state) + patent cost reimbursement (state) + interest subsidy (if national scheme) + then apply for a central scheme loan (say Stand-Up India) for expansion. By layering benefits you get better leverage.
