What many do not realise is that under Gujarat&#8217;s Aatmanirbhar Scheme, this contribution is partially reimbursable for a defined period. It is designed to encourage formal employment generation \u2014 and it often goes unclaimed simply because businesses do not know it applies to them. How It Works Under the Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for MSMEs, the government reimburses the employer&#8217;s EPF contribution made for new employees in eligible manufacturing units. Reimbursement Amount: 100% of the Employer&#8217;s Statutory Contribution Monthly Ceiling: Capped at 12% of basic salary + DA or \u20b91,800 per month per employee \u2014 whichever is lower Duration: Available for a period of 10 years from the date of commercial production Critical Compliance Requirements New Employment Generation: Applicable only for &#8220;New Employees&#8221;\u2014those who did not have a Universal Account Number (UAN) prior to joining your unit. Incremental Growth: For units undergoing expansion, the subsidy applies to the incremental employee count added after the expansion. The 85% Mandate: You must ensure that at least 85% of your total workforce consists of local residents of Gujarat. Regular Filings: This is not a &#8220;set and forget&#8221; benefit. It requires quarterly claim filings with the District Industries Centre (DIC) supported by EPF payment receipts. Where Businesses Miss Out Most companies are already paying EPF regularly \u2014 but they never check whether reimbursement applies to their unit, or they assume the process is too complex to manage. In many cases it is simply not tracked consistently, and the benefit lapses quarter by quarter without anyone noticing. How We Help We assess whether your unit qualifies, set up the tracking process, and handle the filings so nothing slips through. This includes: Eligibility check under the Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme Employee UAN verification and headcount tracking Quarterly documentation and EPF receipt management DIC claim filing and follow-up until reimbursement is processed A Practical Advantage For a manufacturing unit with 50 new employees, the reimbursement can amount to several lakhs annually \u2014 recurring for up to 10 years. It is not a one-time benefit. It is a steady reduction in your cost of employment, available every quarter as long as your unit remains eligible and the claims are filed correctly. If you are hiring and growing, this is a benefit worth tracking properly. Frequently asked questions We hired 30 new employees last year. Three of them had a UAN from a previous employer. Do those three count? No. Employees who already had a UAN before joining your unit do not qualify as new employees under the scheme, regardless of the fact that they are new to your factory. Only employees with no prior UAN at the time of joining are counted. Our workforce is 90% local Gujarat residents. The remaining 10% are skilled workers from other states. Does this affect our claim? No. The 85% local Gujarat workforce mandate means at least 85% must be Gujarat residents \u2014 your 90% figure exceeds this threshold. The 10% non-local workforce is within the permitted limit, so all your eligible new employees qualify. We file EPF returns monthly. Do we still need to file quarterly DIC claims separately? Yes. EPF monthly returns are filed with EPFO \u2014 that is a statutory compliance. EPF reimbursement claims are a separate quarterly filing with the District Industries Centre (DIC), supported by EPF payment receipts. They are two entirely different filings with two different authorities. Can we claim EPF reimbursement and the interest subsidy under the same scheme simultaneously? Yes. Both are separate components of the Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme. EPF reimbursement is an employment-linked incentive; interest subsidy is a financial incentive on term loans. They can be claimed concurrently as long as your unit meets the eligibility conditions for each.
