State incentives·Nine states, one eligibility map

Every incentive your GCC qualifies for. Claimed, not just listed.

Nine Indian states now run dedicated GCC policies, each with its own thresholds, caps, tiers and filing windows. We read them for a living. We map your eligibility, structure the entity, location, headcount and investment plan to qualify for the most, file every claim and track every disbursement.

How we maximise incentives

Eligibility first, then the plan is shaped around it

Most centres leave money unclaimed because the plan was fixed before anyone read the policy. We do it the other way round.

  1. Map eligibilityYour functions, headcount, salary bands, capex and timeline against every state's thresholds and tiers.
  2. Structure to qualifyEntity, location, size category, hiring waves and capex classification set so the centre lands in the richest tier.
  3. File and trackRegistrations, single-window approvals and each claim filed inside its window, with the evidence the department expects.
  4. RealiseDisbursement schedules, quarterly instalments and renewals tracked in the Command Center until the money arrives.

        Indicative only. Amounts assume all eligibility conditions are met and use the published rate or cap where one exists. Payroll figures use the inputs above for the first year and the policy's own schedule after that.
