<h1>New Budgetary Support Scheme for North East and Himalayan Industries Covers CGST and IGST Payments.</h1> A scheme of budgetary support has been initiated for eligible industrial units in the North Eastern region and Himalayan states, providing financial assistance equivalent to the central share of the cash component of CGST and IGST paid. Notified by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, the scheme covers 58% of the central tax and 29% of the integrated tax paid. Eligible units must manually register to claim support, with funds disbursed through the PFMS platform. Application procedures were detailed in circulars issued by CBEC in November 2017.
