Exports grow, the 1% incentive follows the growthVerified as on 4 October 2026 against Government Order No. 836/18-4-2025 dated 10 November 2025. Written by Pratham Agarwal, Founder, Rasp International.
UP Export Performance Incentive: the short answer
Under Government Order No. 836/18-4-2025 dated 10 November 2025, eligible Uttar Pradesh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) exporters can claim 1% of their year on year growth in Free on Board (FOB) export value, up to Rs 20 lakh per unit each financial year. The claim is filed online by 30 November of the next financial year, subject to approval and budget.
The rule that decides everything: your FOB value must not be zero in any of the last three years, and the incentive is worked out only on the gap between the claim year and the year before it.

Why we are writing about Government Order 836
The freight, fair and postage orders in the UP Export Promotion Policy 2025-30 pay back a particular expense. Government Order No. 836/18-4-2025 does not. It pays on growth in FOB value, so an exporter with no fair or freight bill to claim can still qualify. The order is in Hindi and its conditions sit in different clauses and annexures, so we have put them in one place.
Rasp International advises exporters on DGFT and export incentive work from Agra. This page reflects the order as issued on 10 November 2025 and nothing more. Where the order is silent, we say so instead of guessing.
What the UP Export Performance Incentive actually is
The UP Export Performance Incentive is a state financial incentive that rewards MSME exporting units for growing their export value year on year, administered by the Export Promotion Bureau UP under the UP Export Promotion Policy 2025-30. The money is paid by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT, a payment straight into the unit’s bank account), subject to budget availability.
The order states its aims in its opening paragraph: to increase exports from Uttar Pradesh, to keep the state’s exporters competitive, to expand exports in international markets and to position Uttar Pradesh as an active centre of global trade. The incentive is the tool for the third aim. It rewards the exporter who ships more than the year before.
The scheme is annual. A unit can claim once for each financial year, on that year’s growth over the year before. A financial year in India runs from 1 April to 31 March, so the claim for financial year 2025-26 would be filed in the window that ends on 30 November 2026, once the Bureau confirms that year is covered.
Government Order 836, clause by clause
The order has ten numbered clauses and three attachments: Annexure I with the export turnover details, the affidavit format and Annexure II. The table below gives the plain meaning of each. It is a reading aid, not a replacement for the order.
| Clause | What the order says | What it means for an exporter |
|---|
| Opening paragraph | Approved under the UP Export Promotion Policy 2025-30 (Government Order No. 684 of 3 September 2025), for MSME units, on the terms below | The scheme sits inside the 2025-30 policy and applies only on the stated terms |
| 2(1) | 1% incentive on year on year growth in exports, maximum Rs 20 lakh per unit per year | The rate is fixed at 1% and the cap is per unit per financial year |
| 2(2) | Growth is the gap between FOB value in the current financial year and the previous financial year | Only the increase is rewarded |
| 3(1) | The unit is a registered member of the Export Promotion Bureau UP and the UP Export Promotion Council at the time of the work | Both registrations must be in place when the exports are done |
| 3(2) | Only units that have been exporting for the past three years are eligible | A new exporter cannot claim |
| 3(3) | The claim rests on the gap between current and previous year export value. FOB value must not be zero in any of the last three years | One zero year breaks eligibility |
| 3(4) | Merchant and manufacturing exporters are both eligible | Trading units can claim |
| 4(1) and 4(2) | Claim filed online on the Bureau portal by 30 November of the next financial year | One filing window a year |
| 4(3) and 4(4) | The unit can correct mistakes for 15 days from the date of application. After that the claim shows on the Bureau portal | Fix your own errors early |
| 4(5) | Within 30 days of showing on the portal, complete claims go on the agenda and incomplete claims are sent back online | The Bureau has a 30 day screening limit |
| 4(6) | The unit must upload the right documents within 15 days. Otherwise the claim is treated as cancelled | A late reply ends the claim |
| 4(7) | The Bureau verifies and examines all applications | Expect a document check |
| 5 | An Authorised Committee fixes the filing process, the documents needed and any changes to them | The document list can change, so check the portal |
| 6 | Claims go to the committee. Approval is first come first served and payment is by DBT within the available budget. Unpaid claims may be carried to the next year | Early filing helps and payment is never certain |
| 7 | No full or partial benefit of a similar nature from any central or state scheme for the same purpose | No double claiming for the same purpose |
| 8 | Misuse or wrong or hidden facts lead to recovery of the full amount like arrears of land revenue and blacklisting | Accuracy matters more than speed |
| 9 | The committee has the power to interpret and clarify the order | The committee has the last word on doubtful points |
| 10 | The order takes effect immediately | It applied from 10 November 2025 |
Worked example: how the 1% is calculated
The figures below are worked examples with round numbers. They are not client results. The amount payable is the lower of 1% of the growth and Rs 20 lakh. Approval and payment stay subject to the committee and the budget.
| Worked example | Previous year FOB (Rs) | Claim year FOB (Rs) | Growth (Rs) | Growth (%) | 1% of growth (Rs) | Payable under the Rs 20 lakh cap (Rs) |
|---|
| A | 80 lakh | 1.2 crore | 40 lakh | 50% | 40,000 | 40,000 |
| B | 1.5 crore | 2.1 crore | 60 lakh | 40% | 60,000 | 60,000 |
| C | 3 crore | 3.6 crore | 60 lakh | 20% | 60,000 | 60,000 |
| D | 4 crore | 6 crore | 2 crore | 50% | 2 lakh | 2 lakh |
| E | 7 crore | 7.5 crore | 50 lakh | About 7% | 50,000 | 50,000 |
| F | 12 crore | 18 crore | 6 crore | 50% | 6 lakh | 6 lakh |
| G | 15 crore | 25 crore | 10 crore | About 67% | 10 lakh | 10 lakh |
| H | 25 crore | 45 crore | 20 crore | 80% | 20 lakh | 20 lakh (reaches the cap) |
| I | 30 crore | 70 crore | 40 crore | About 133% | 40 lakh | 20 lakh (cap applies) |
| J | 60 crore | 90 crore | 30 crore | 50% | 30 lakh | 20 lakh (cap applies) |
| K | 120 crore | 140 crore | 20 crore | About 17% | 20 lakh | 20 lakh (reaches the cap) |
| L | 200 crore | 500 crore | 300 crore | 150% | 3 crore | 20 lakh (cap applies) |
| M | 6 crore | 5 crore | No growth | Fall of about 17% | Nil | Nil |
Two points stand out. The incentive follows the rupee growth and not the percentage growth, so example E with 7% growth pays almost as much as example C with 20% growth. And the cap bites early: a unit that grows by Rs 20 crore or more in one year already reaches Rs 20 lakh.
Work out the growth in FOB value before you fileWho qualifies for the UP Export Performance Incentive
Who qualifies
- The unit is an MSME as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006 and is located in Uttar Pradesh.
- The unit is registered with the Export Promotion Bureau UP and the UP Export Promotion Council when the export work is done.
- The unit has been exporting for the last three years. The FOB value in none of those three years is zero.
- The unit is a manufacturer exporter or a merchant exporter. The order treats both as eligible.
Who does not qualify
- A unit that has taken a full or partial benefit of a similar nature under any central or state scheme for the same purpose. Clause 7 of the order bars this.
- A unit with a year of zero FOB value in the last three years.
- A unit outside the MSME definition, because the order is written for MSME units.
- A unit that gives wrong or hidden facts. Clause 8 says the whole amount is then recovered like arrears of land revenue and the unit is blacklisted from future government financial assistance.
The three year test, scenario by scenario
| Scenario | Result under clause 3 |
|---|
| FOB value above zero in each of the last three years, with growth in the claim year | Passes the test. The incentive is 1% of the growth, up to Rs 20 lakh |
| FOB value above zero in each of the last three years, with no growth | Passes the test but the incentive is nil because there is no growth |
| FOB value above zero in each of the last three years, with a fall in the claim year | Passes the test but the incentive is nil |
| One year in the last three with zero FOB value | Fails the test. Strong growth later does not cure it |
| A unit that started exporting 18 months ago | Does not meet the requirement of exporting for the past three years |
| A manufacturer that also trades goods of other makers | Eligible. Annexure I has a box for both exporter types |
Manufacturer, merchant or both
Annexure I asks the unit to tick one of three boxes: manufacturer, merchant or both. The affidavit asks again for the category of the exporting unit. Tick the box that matches the way your exports are actually made, and make the same choice in the affidavit. A mismatch between the two is an easy reason for a query.
Documents that get the claim through
| Document | What the authority is checking | The mismatch that comes back as a query |
|---|
| Application form (Annexure I) | Unit name, registered office address, Importer Exporter Code (IEC) and its validity, Udyam number, Bureau and Council registration numbers, signatory and contact details | The address or name differs between the IEC, the Udyam certificate and the Bureau registration |
| Export turnover details (part of Annexure I) | Products exported, previous year FOB value and claim year FOB value | The FOB values differ from the Chartered Accountant certificate |
| Chartered Accountant (CA) certificate (Annexure II, on the CA’s official letterhead) | Summary of export turnover, growth in FOB value, 1% computation and the eligible amount up to Rs 20,00,000 per unit per financial year | The certificate is not in the Annexure II format or the arithmetic does not match the application |
| Affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper | MSME category and exporter type, plus a statement that no benefit has been taken from any state or central scheme for the same claim | The MSME category or exporter type in the affidavit differs from the Udyam certificate |
| Certificate of Origin from Uttar Pradesh | Annexure I asks whether a Certificate of Origin from Uttar Pradesh is attached | The box is ticked Yes but no copy is attached |
Annexure I, field by field
| Field in Annexure I | What to enter | Must agree with |
|---|
| 1. Name of the exporting unit | The legal name of the unit | Udyam certificate, IEC and bank records |
| 2. Registered office address | The registered address in Uttar Pradesh | Udyam certificate and IEC |
| 3. Importer Exporter Code | The ten character IEC | IEC certificate |
| 4. Date of obtaining the IEC and validity | The issue date and the current status | DGFT record of the IEC |
| 5. Certificate of Origin from Uttar Pradesh | Tick Yes and attach a copy, or tick No | The copy attached |
| 6. Type of exporter | Manufacturer, merchant or both | The affidavit |
| 7. Udyam registration number | The Udyam number | Udyam certificate |
| 8. Registration number in the Export Promotion Bureau UP | Your Bureau registration number | Bureau registration |
| 9. Registration number in the UP Export Promotion Council | Your Council registration number | Council registration |
| 10 and 11. Authorised signatory and designation | The person who signs for the unit | The affidavit and the CA certificate |
| 12. Contact details | A working phone number and email address | The portal profile |
| Export turnover: products exported | Names of the products with quantity and value in rupees | Shipping bills |
| Export turnover: previous year FOB | The previous financial year and its FOB value in rupees | CA certificate |
| Export turnover: claim year FOB | The financial year being claimed and its FOB value in rupees | CA certificate |
Annexure II, how the CA certificate is built
Annexure II is a certificate on the official letterhead of a Chartered Accountant. It follows a fixed layout, and your CA should not redraft it. The certificate gives these parts in order:
- The name and registered office of the unit, which is engaged in exports from Uttar Pradesh.
- A Summary of Export Turnover: the names of the products exported, the previous financial year with its FOB value, the financial year being claimed with its FOB value and the incremental growth in FOB value.
- An Incentive Computation: 1% of the incremental FOB value and the eligible incentive, with the maximum of Rs 20,00,000 per unit per financial year printed on the line.
- A statement that the details were checked against the records and documents produced to the CA and are true and correct to the best of the CA’s knowledge and belief.
- A statement that the certificate is issued only for claiming the incentive under this scheme and not for any other purpose.
- The CA’s signature and seal, name, membership number, place and date.
Ask the CA to take the FOB figures from shipping bills and to explain the source in a working note that stays in your file. The order does not say which document the Bureau treats as the base record, so the figures should be easy to trace to shipping bills and bank realisation records.
The affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper
The order gives a format for an affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper, signed by the proprietor, partner or director. In plain terms it states five things:
- How many times the unit has filed a claim under the scheme for the financial year, and for which part of that year the claim is made.
- That the unit is an MSME under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006 and the MSME definition notified on 21 March 2025, and in which category.
- Whether the exporting unit is a merchant or a manufacturer.
- That the unit has not taken any financial grant or benefit from any Uttar Pradesh or Government of India scheme against the same claim.
- That all the information is true and nothing has been hidden, with strict action possible if it is found wrong.
The first point refers to a quarter of the financial year, while the order text sets one annual claim. That is one of the open points listed further down this page.
Keep every certificate, affidavit and invoice in one claim fileHow to claim, stage by stage
Stage 1. Before you apply
Check that the Udyam registration, IEC, Export Promotion Bureau UP registration and UP Export Promotion Council registration are active and carry the same name and address. Ask your Chartered Accountant to prepare Annexure II. Prepare the affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper. Collect the Certificate of Origin from Uttar Pradesh if you will tick Yes in Annexure I.
Stage 2. Filing
File the claim online on the portal of the Export Promotion Bureau UP by 30 November of the financial year after the one you are claiming for. Fill Annexure I and the export turnover details, then attach the Chartered Accountant certificate, the affidavit and the Certificate of Origin.
Stage 3. After filing
Government Order 836 sets these time limits:
| Step | Time limit in the order |
|---|
| Correct mistakes in your own application | Up to 15 days from the date of application |
| Claim becomes visible on the Bureau portal | After those 15 days |
| Complete claims go on the committee agenda | Within 30 days of the claim becoming visible |
| Incomplete claims | Sent back online with the gaps marked |
| Your reply with the right documents | Within 15 days of the claim being sent back |
The Authorised Committee is headed by the Export Commissioner of the Export Promotion Bureau UP. Claims are taken first come first served and paid only up to the budget available. Claims that cannot be paid in one financial year may be carried to the next at the committee’s decision.
A dated example of the time limits
The two examples below count calendar days and use illustrative filing dates for a claim due by 30 November 2026. The order does not say whether weekends or holidays are counted differently.
| Event | Example 1: filed on 2 November 2026 | Example 2: filed on 30 November 2026 |
|---|
| Last day to correct your own application (15 days) | 17 November 2026 | 15 December 2026 |
| Latest date for the Bureau to put the claim on the agenda or send it back (30 days after it becomes visible) | 17 December 2026 | 14 January 2027 |
| Latest date for your reply if the claim is sent back on that day (15 days) | 1 January 2027 | 29 January 2027 |
The practical lesson is that the 30 November filing deadline is only the start of the clock. Filing earlier gives you a longer period to fix mistakes yourself before the Bureau sees the claim, and an earlier place in the first come first served line.
The lapse penalty
The claim must be filed by 30 November of the next financial year. If your reply to a query does not reach the portal within 15 days, the order treats the claim as cancelled on its own. The order describes no way to revive a claim in either case.
The Authorised Committee
| Member | Role in the committee |
|---|
| Export Commissioner, Export Promotion Bureau UP | Chair |
| Finance Controller, Directorate of Industries and Enterprise Promotion, Uttar Pradesh | Member |
| Deputy Commissioner Industry of the district concerned | Member |
| Additional or Joint Export Commissioner, Export Promotion Bureau UP | Member Secretary |
Clause 5 gives this committee the power to fix the filing process, the documents a unit must provide and any change to them. Clause 9 gives it the power to interpret the order. In practice this means the portal and the committee’s decisions can add detail that the order does not spell out, so read the current portal screen before you file.

The claim window closes on 30 November of the next financial yearWhere claims go wrong
| Failure | What you see | What actually broke |
|---|
| A zero export year | The claim is not eligible | The order needs a non-zero FOB value in each of the last three years |
| A late claim | The claim is not accepted | The claim was filed after 30 November of the next financial year |
| No reply to a query | The claim is treated as cancelled | The documents were not uploaded within 15 days of the claim being sent back |
| Certificate in the wrong format | The claim is sent back | The Chartered Accountant did not use the Annexure II format or the figures differ from Annexure I |
| A second benefit for the same purpose | Recovery and blacklisting if found | A similar benefit was taken under another central or state scheme (clauses 7 and 8) |
| An unregistered unit | The claim is not eligible | The unit was not registered with the Export Promotion Bureau UP and the UP Export Promotion Council when the exports were made |
| Different names or addresses across papers | The claim is sent back for correction | The Udyam certificate, IEC, Bureau registration and affidavit do not carry the same name and address |
What FOB value means and where to read it
FOB stands for Free on Board. It is the value of the goods up to the point where they are loaded on the ship or aircraft at the port of export, without international freight and insurance. Your shipping bills show the FOB value of each consignment, and your bank realisation records show the payment received. The incentive uses the FOB value of all exports of the unit in a financial year.
Add the FOB values of every shipping bill dated in the financial year, April to March. Do the same for the year before. The difference between the two totals is the growth. Ask your CA to reconcile the total with the books so that the figure in Annexure I, Annexure II and the ledgers is the same.
Records to keep
The order does not state a retention period. Because clause 8 allows recovery if facts are found wrong, keep the following together for as long as your auditor advises:
- The application as filed, with the portal acknowledgement and screenshots of each screen.
- The Chartered Accountant certificate and the CA’s working note.
- The affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper.
- Shipping bills and bank realisation records for the claim year and the previous year.
- The Udyam certificate, IEC certificate, Bureau registration and Council registration.
- Every query from the Bureau and your reply, with the date and time of upload.
Pre-filing checklist for the claim
- Write down the FOB value for each of the last three financial years and confirm that none is zero.
- Confirm that the unit is an MSME and note its Udyam category.
- Confirm that Bureau and Council registration were active when the exports were made.
- Check that the name and address match on the Udyam certificate, IEC and Bureau registration.
- Check the IEC is active and that its details are updated on the DGFT portal.
- Decide whether you are a manufacturer, a merchant or both and use that choice everywhere.
- Confirm that no similar benefit has been taken for the same purpose from any other scheme.
- Ask your CA to prepare Annexure II on the CA’s letterhead from reconciled figures.
- Prepare the affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper and have it signed.
- Obtain the Certificate of Origin from Uttar Pradesh if you will tick Yes.
- Ask the Bureau whether the claim year you are filing for is open.
- File early and diarise the dates 15 days and 30 days after filing.
How the incentive compares with the other UP export orders
The UP Export Promotion Policy 2025-30 has several orders, and each pays on a different trigger. Amounts below are summarised from each order. Check the original order before you file.
| Scheme and order | What it pays | Cap | Claim window |
|---|
| Export performance incentive, GO 836/18-4-2025 dated 10 November 2025 | 1% of growth in FOB value over the previous year | Rs 20 lakh per unit per year | By 30 November of the next financial year |
| Marketing Development Assistance, GO 811/18-4-2025 dated 6 November 2025 | 75% back. Website and digital Rs 1 lakh, samples Rs 2 lakh, foreign fair stall Rs 3.25 lakh, airfare Rs 1.25 lakh | Rs 25 lakh a year | 120 days |
| Freight to gateway port, GO 828/18-4-2025 dated 6 November 2025 | 30% or Rs 20,000 per 20 ft container and Rs 40,000 per 40 ft container | Rs 30 lakh a year | 180 days |
| Air freight, GO 829/18-4-2025 dated 6 November 2025 | 30% or Rs 150 per kg | Rs 10 lakh a year | 180 days |
| ECGC premium support, GO 830/18-4-2025 dated 6 November 2025 | 30% of the premium | Rs 5 lakh a year | Quarterly claim within 90 days |
| Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra postage, GO 838/18-4-2025 dated 10 November 2025 | 75% of postage without GST | Rs 1 lakh a year | Quarterly claim within 45 days |
| E-commerce onboarding assistance, GO 874/18-4-2025 dated 3 December 2025 | 75% of first year platform fees without tax, one platform | Rs 3 lakh | After one full year, within 90 days |
Because clause 7 of Government Order 836 bars a similar benefit for the same purpose, the question for a unit that uses several orders is whether each claim rests on a different purpose and a different expense. The incentive in this order is not tied to a particular expense, so keep the records of each claim separate and read each order for its own conditions.
Not yet confirmed
- Whether exports of financial year 2025-26 can be claimed by 30 November 2026. The order took effect on 10 November 2025, which is part way through that year. Confirm this with the Export Promotion Bureau UP before you rely on it.
- Whether the last three years count the claim year or the three years before it. Clause 3 says the FOB value must not be zero in any of the last three years and does not say which three.
- The affidavit format in the order refers to a quarter of the financial year, while the order text sets one annual claim. Check the portal screen for how it treats this.
- Whether exporters of services can claim. The Annexure II wording refers to export of goods or services, while the order speaks of FOB value, which is a goods measure.
- The direct link to the order PDF and the portal address. Check both on the official site before you file.
What the order does not say
A reader should know where the order is silent, because those are the points on which consultants and websites most often guess.
- It does not describe an appeal against a rejected claim. Clause 9 gives the committee the power to interpret the order.
- It does not state a retention period for records.
- It does not say how the incentive is treated for income tax or GST. Ask your Chartered Accountant.
- It does not offer a fast track. Claims are taken in the order they come in.
- It does not give the web address of the portal or a list of fixed documents, because clause 5 leaves the process to the committee.
What the UP Export Performance Incentive will not do
- It will not pay more than Rs 20 lakh per unit per financial year, however large the growth.
- It will not pay a unit that has had a year of zero FOB value in the last three years.
- It will not guarantee payment. Claims are paid first come first served and only within the available budget.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum amount under the UP Export Performance Incentive?
The incentive is 1% of the growth in FOB export value over the previous financial year. It is capped at Rs 20 lakh per exporting unit per financial year under Government Order No. 836/18-4-2025.
What is the last date to claim the UP export growth incentive?
The claim for a financial year must be filed online by 30 November of the next financial year. For example, a claim for financial year 2025-26 would fall due on 30 November 2026, once the Bureau confirms that year is covered.
Do I need three years of exports to qualify?
Yes. The order allows only units that have been exporting for the last three years. The FOB value in none of those three years may be zero. A gap year makes the unit ineligible.
Which format is required for the CA certificate?
The Chartered Accountant certificate must follow Annexure II of the order. It goes on the CA’s official letterhead and shows previous year FOB, claim year FOB, growth, 1% of growth and the eligible incentive.
Can merchant exporters apply for the UP export performance incentive?
Yes. Government Order 836 makes both merchant and manufacturing exporters eligible, provided they are MSME units in Uttar Pradesh and meet the other conditions. Annexure I asks you to tick manufacturer, merchant or both, so tick the box that matches your Udyam certificate.
What happens if the Bureau finds an error in my claim?
You can correct your own application for 15 days from the date of application. After that, an incomplete claim is sent back online. You then have up to 15 days to upload the right documents or the claim is treated as cancelled.
Can I claim this together with another scheme?
Not for the same purpose. Clause 7 allows the incentive only if the unit has not taken a full or partial benefit of a similar nature from any central or state scheme for the same purpose.
Is a consultant required to file the claim?
No. The exporter can file on the Bureau portal. A consultant such as Rasp International can check the three year history, brief your Chartered Accountant on Annexure II and file the claim, but approval stays with the committee.
Is payment guaranteed once I file?
No. Claims are taken first come first served and paid only within the budget available for the financial year. Claims that cannot be paid may be carried to the next year at the committee’s decision.
Does a bigger percentage growth mean a bigger incentive?
No. The incentive is 1% of the growth in rupees, up to Rs 20 lakh. A unit that grows by 7% from a large base can earn more than a unit that grows by 50% from a small base.
What if my FOB value fell this year?
The incentive is nil. The order rewards growth in FOB value over the previous financial year. A fall or no change means there is no growth to reward, although the unit can claim again in a year when exports rise.
Where does the money come from and how does it reach me?
The incentive is a state financial assistance paid by Direct Benefit Transfer into the unit’s bank account after the Authorised Committee approves the claim. Payment depends on the budget available in that financial year.
How Rasp International handles Government Order 836 claims
Rasp International is an ISO 9001:2015 certified EXIM and DGFT consultancy based in Agra, with a family legacy in international trade since 2005 and more than 500 exporters served. For this incentive we check your three year FOB history, match the Udyam, IEC and registration details, prepare the Annexure II brief for your Chartered Accountant and track the claim after filing.
The order puts approval and payment with the Authorised Committee, so we do not promise either. What we can do is make sure the claim is complete, consistent and early.
