1172
Note: The items listed in the ‘negative list’ (schedule ‘A’) shall not be included.
3.3. This scheme shall not be applicable to cases which have claimed similar benefit under
any other scheme/program of Government of Goa.
4. Calculation of Subsidy.— 4.1. Once a unit becomes eligible under this scheme, it shall be
considered for reimbursement to the extent of 2% of the cost of local purchases consumed by
such unit to the maximum of Rs. 5.00 lakh per year. For purpose of this scheme, value excluding
GST shall be considered. Application to this effect for the financial year shall be made by the
end of December of the subsequent financial year.
Note: For the purpose of this Scheme, the local purchases mean every industrial input, including
consumables, purchased from Goa (whether manufactured in Goa or not) except service.
4.2. The unit may avail benefit under this scheme for five consecutive years from the date of
first application.
Example: Assuming that a unit of turnover of Rs. 5.00 Cr. purchased 50% of its eligible
industrial input from local sources, the subsidy shall be calculated as follows:
Turnover of the unit
Rs. 5.00 Cr
Total cost of purchase of industrial input (local +
outside state + ineligible)
Rs. 2.00 Cr
Minimum expenditure on eligible local industrial
input purchased (to be eligible for subsidy)
Rs. 1.00 Cr
Ineligible items – not to be considered in cost of
purchases of raw material
As in Schedule A
Items eligible for reimbursement
The cost of every industrial input, including
consumables, purchased from Goa (whether
manufactured in Goa or not) except service.
Subsidy
2% of the cost of eligible Local industrial input =
Rs. 2,00,000/-
Since the subsidy is calculated as 2% of the cost of
eligible Local industrial input or Rs 5.00 Lakh,
whichever is less, the unit shall be granted a
subsidy of Rs. 2,00,000/-.
4.3 The benefits under this scheme are subject to budgetary allocation. No Promissory
Estoppel shall be applicable if benefits are discontinued in case allocation is exceeded.
5. Procedure to file claim.— 5.1 After closure of every financial year, the unit shall apply in
