What is Employment Generation?
Part of: Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 (clause 4.6.1)
Clause 4.6.1 of the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 (the Local Employment Generation Subsidy Scheme) pays MSME units an annual subsidy linked to the average gross monthly salary of Haryana local employees, for ten years from the date of commencement of commercial production/operations.
Where local employees are under 15% of the workforce in a year, the subsidy is paid only for Women, SC, Divyang, Agniveer and Ex-Servicemen category local employees, at 120% of average gross monthly salary, capped at ₹1.00 Lakh per employee per year.
Where they are 15% or more, general category local employees attract 100% plus 20% × (local proportion − 15%) of average gross monthly salary, capped at ₹1.00 Lakh, and the special categories attract 120% on the same escalating basis, capped at ₹1.20 Lakh.
Where an eligible employee earns below ₹48,000 a month on average, a minimum subsidy of ₹48,000 per year is paid for that employee.
Only employees on payroll, or on contract with an ESI/PF number, for at least one year count; local status is verified only through Parivar Pehchan Patra; and for expansion units only the incremental headcount above the pre-expansion level counts.
Units recruiting local employees through Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN) additionally receive 100% of the employer's statutory EPF contribution for those employees for five years, and the employees themselves receive 100% of their own EPF contribution by direct benefit transfer for five years — each capped at 12% of basic salary plus DA and retaining allowance, up to ₹25,000 per employee per year.

How do I apply for Employment Generation?
- Register the enterprise on Udyam and keep the GSTIN active.
- File the claim online on the Invest Haryana (HEPC) portal under this scheme, with the supporting records for the expenditure claimed.
- Clause 3.7 of the policy promised operational guidelines within three months of notification, that is by 29 October 2026. That date has passed: as of 1 November 2026 they had still not been published on the Directorate of MSME's website (last updated 26 October 2026) or the Industries & Commerce Department's website, and the policy itself names no portal, claim form or cut-off date, so check whether the guidelines have been published before filing. Clause 3.7 also says an application consistent with the policy is not barred because a scheme has not been notified.
