What is RPTUAS Scheme?

RPTUAS stands for Revamped Pharmaceutical Technology Upgradation Assistance Scheme. It is the flagship pharmaceutical subsidy scheme India designed to help existing drug manufacturing units upgrade their facilities to meet WHO GMP and Revised Schedule-M standards.

The Government made WHO GMP guidelines and Revised Schedule-M compulsory from January 2026. RPTUAS provides financial support covering up to 20% of investment costs so that companies don’t fall behind due to a lack of funds.

RPTUAS Frequently Asked Questions
Is bank loan compulsory for RPTUAS subsidy? +
No. You can finance your WHO GMP upgradation using own funds, a term loan, or a combination of both — all are accepted. This is a major improvement over the old PTUAS where a bank loan was mandatory.
How long does RPTUAS approval take? +
Generally 3–6 months, depending on document accuracy and compliance verification. Once you submit compliance documents, funds are released within 30 days — first after Revised Schedule-M compliance, second after WHO GMP certification.
What is the maximum RPTUAS subsidy amount? +
₹2 crore per manufacturing unit — increased from ₹1 crore in the September 2024 revision. The subsidy rate depends on your average annual turnover: 20% for small units, 15% for medium, and 10% for larger units. All slabs share the same ₹2 crore ceiling.
Is RPTUAS only for MSME pharma units? +
No. Any existing pharma manufacturer with turnover below ₹500 crore can apply. MSMEs, women-owned units, and export-oriented units get preference during evaluation but the scheme is open to all eligible units.
Can GetMyCA help claim state subsidy along with RPTUAS? +
Yes. You can claim state government subsidies alongside RPTUAS, provided you are not claiming both for the exact same eligible investment item. GetMyCA checks both central and state eligibility together so you don’t leave any money on the table.
What documents does GetMyCA need for RPTUAS application? +
Manufacturing license, company registration, PAN, GST, Udyam certificate, 3 years audited financials, gap analysis report, equipment quotations, unit photographs, and CA-certified expenditure proof. GetMyCA takes care of the entire documentation process.
