For availing of the subsidy, one has to apply on the portal upevsubsidy.in Once the application is submitted, the subsidy amount will be transferred to the customer’s bank account after the successful completion of a four level verification process.

The verification process begins with verification at the dealer level, followed by registration and departmental verification. The final verification is carried out by the Transport Inspector. Depending on the information provided on the portal, the banking partner will transfer the subsidy amount to their bank account within 3 working days after the verification process is completed. Subsidy on EVs is payable to individuals as well as to aggregators or fleet buyers.

The subsidy will be provided as an early bird incentive to buyers at fixed rates in defined segments during a period of one year from the date of notification. As per the policy, two-wheeler electric vehicles will get Rs 5,000 per EV subsidy for the first two lakh purchases, not exceeding 15 percent of the ex-factory cost.

For electric four wheelers, the subsidy will be Rs 1 lakh per EV for 25,000 earlier purchases, not exceeding 15 percent of the ex-factory cost.
