Introduction of Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Subsidy Scheme: A Brief Insight
Electric vehicles help people save money on fuel and maintenance. However, their purchase price can be higher than that of petrol or diesel vehicles. To make electric vehicles more affordable, the Government of Uttar Pradesh introduced the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Subsidy Scheme. It provides a purchase subsidy to eligible buyers and offers a 100% exemption from road tax and registration fees under specified conditions.
The scheme comes under the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy, 2022. The Government notified this policy on 14 October 2022 for a period of five years, from 14 October 2022 to 13 October 2027. The Industrial Development Department issued the policy.
The Transport Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, manages the online portal for vehicle purchase subsidy applications. The concerned Regional Transport Offices verify applications and process eligible claims. Meanwhile, Invest UP handles policy incentives for electric vehicle manufacturers and charging station developers.
The policy aims to make Uttar Pradesh a major centre for electric vehicle manufacturing and adoption. It encourages people to switch to electric vehicles, supports the production of electric vehicles and batteries within the State, and promotes the development of charging and battery swapping stations.
Under the purchase subsidy, eligible buyers can receive 15% of the ex-factory cost for an electric two-wheeler, four-wheeler or non-government electric bus. The subsidy for an electric goods carrier is 10% of its ex-factory cost.
The maximum subsidy is ₹5,000 for an electric two-wheeler, ₹1 lakh for a four-wheeler, ₹20 lakh for a non-government electric bus and ₹1 lakh for an electric goods carrier. Buyers who purchase a vehicle without a battery receive only 50% of the applicable subsidy.
However, the purchase subsidy is limited to electric vehicles registered between 14 October 2022 and 13 October 2023. The road tax and registration fee exemption follows a separate timeline and provides a 100% exemption to eligible vehicles. From 14 October 2022 to 13 October 2025, the exemption covered eligible electric vehicles purchased and registered in Uttar Pradesh. From 14 October 2025 to 13 October 2027, it applies only to electric vehicles manufactured, purchased and registered in the State.
Eligible individuals, firms and companies can claim the purchase subsidy for vehicles purchased and registered in Uttar Pradesh. An individual can claim the benefit for only one vehicle. Aggregators and fleet operators can claim it for up to 10 electric two-wheelers or four-wheelers and up to 5 electric buses or goods carriers, subject to the scheme rules.
The purchase subsidy is paid as a reimbursement, not as a discount at the showroom. The buyer first purchases and registers the vehicle, then submits an online application through the official portal. The dealer verifies the claim, and the concerned Regional Transport Office checks it before the Government transfers the approved amount to the applicant’s bank account. The portal provides for payment within 30 days after receiving a complete application.
The policy also supports businesses that develop public charging stations and battery swapping stations through a capital subsidy of 20%. It offers additional financial incentives to eligible businesses setting up electric vehicle and battery manufacturing units in Uttar Pradesh. You can find the details of these benefits in the Benefits Provided to Eligible Beneficiaries section.
If you need help with your application, you can contact your vehicle dealer or the concerned Regional Transport Office. You can also email the Transport Department. We have provided the relevant contact details in the Contact Details section below.
Buyers looking for additional financial support under a Central Government scheme can also read our guide to the PM E-DRIVE Scheme. Eligible beneficiaries can use applicable State and Central Government incentives together, subject to the rules of both schemes.
Households that want to reduce their electricity bills and use solar power for charging their vehicles can also explore the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. This scheme helps eligible households install rooftop solar panels and generate their own electricity.

- Electric four-wheeler: If the ex-factory cost is ₹5 lakh, the subsidy comes to ₹75,000. If the cost is ₹8 lakh, the calculated subsidy is ₹1.2 lakh, but the maximum benefit remains ₹1 lakh.
- Electric goods carrier: If the ex-factory cost is ₹6 lakh, the buyer gets 10%, which amounts to ₹60,000.
- Vehicle without a battery: If the applicable subsidy is ₹5,000, the buyer receives only ₹2,500 when purchasing the vehicle without a battery.

How Beneficiaries Can Apply to Avail the Benefit of this Scheme
Getting the subsidy under the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Subsidy Scheme is a little like buying something from a shop and getting part of your money back later. First, you buy and register your electric vehicle. Then, you fill out an online application and upload the required documents. The dealer checks your details, and the Regional Transport Office (RTO) verifies your application. Once your claim passes these checks, the Government transfers the approved subsidy directly to your bank account.
Remember, the purchase subsidy and the road tax and registration fee exemption work differently. You have to apply online to claim the purchase subsidy. However, the dealer applies the road tax and registration fee exemption while registering your vehicle. Follow the steps below to understand both processes.
Before You Start
Step 1: Keep your vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC) ready. Check the date on which your vehicle was registered.
Step 2: Make sure your vehicle was registered between 14 October 2022 and 13 October 2023. The purchase subsidy is available only for vehicles registered during this period. You can confirm this on the official portal’s FAQ page.
Step 3: Check whether your vehicle belongs to an eligible category, such as an electric two-wheeler, four-wheeler, non-government bus or goods carrier. You must also have purchased and registered the vehicle in Uttar Pradesh.
Step 4: Keep your documents ready. These may include your Aadhaar card, photograph, signature, vehicle sale invoice, cancelled cheque or bank passbook copy, and other documents required for your applicant category. You can check the complete list in the Documents Required section of this guide.
Step 5: Read the official application instructions and the Transport Department’s operating guidelines before filling out the form.
Method 1: Apply Online as an Individual Buyer
If you purchased an electric vehicle in your own name, follow these steps to submit your subsidy application.
Step 1: Visit the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Purchase Subsidy Portal.
Step 2: Find and select the Apply Online option.
Step 3: Register using the mobile number linked to your vehicle registration. Create your login password to access the application form.
Step 4: Enter your vehicle’s registration number. The portal will automatically fetch your vehicle details from the national vehicle database.
Step 5: Check the vehicle details carefully. Make sure the registered owner’s name and other information are correct. The person whose name appears on the vehicle’s RC must submit the application.
Step 6: Enter your bank details, including the account holder’s name, account number and IFSC code. The bank account must be in the same name as the vehicle owner.
Step 7: Upload your photograph and signature. These should match the photograph and signature submitted by the dealer during vehicle registration.
Step 8: Upload your Aadhaar card and a cancelled cheque or bank passbook copy as proof of your bank account.
Step 9: Check every detail and document before submitting the form. Make sure there are no spelling mistakes or incorrect bank details, as you cannot edit the application after final submission.
Step 10: Submit the application and save the unique request number generated by the portal. You will need this number to check your application status.
Method 2: Apply as a Firm or Company
If a firm or company purchased the electric vehicle, its authorised representative can submit the subsidy application. The process is almost the same as the individual application, but the applicant must provide business documents instead of personal identity documents.
Step 1: Follow Steps 1 to 4 of Method 1. Use the mobile number linked to the vehicle registration.
Step 2: Upload the firm’s or company’s GST registration certificate or PAN card instead of an Aadhaar card.
Step 3: Enter the firm’s or company’s bank account details. Upload a cancelled cheque or bank passbook copy showing the same business name.
Step 4: If required, upload documents proving that you are authorised to sign and submit the application on behalf of the firm or company. Check the details and submit the form.
Method 3: Apply as an Aggregator or Fleet Operator
Aggregators and fleet operators can also claim the subsidy for eligible electric vehicles. However, they must follow the vehicle limits and submit a separate application for each vehicle.
Step 1: Select the aggregator or fleet operator category while applying. Eligible operators can claim the subsidy for up to 10 electric two-wheelers or four-wheelers and up to 5 electric buses or goods carriers, subject to the scheme rules.
Step 2: Submit a separate application for every vehicle. Enter its registration number and upload its sale invoice.
Step 3: Upload documents proving your status as an aggregator, fleet operator or other eligible operator. Also provide the GST registration certificate or PAN card, as required under the Transport Department’s latest instructions.
Step 4: Keep the application numbers and vehicle details in one place. This will make it easier to track your claims and provide information if the Transport Department asks for it.
Method 4: Correct a Wrong Applicant Category
If you are an individual buyer but selected the aggregator or fleet operator category by mistake, follow the prescribed correction process.
Step 1: Check your application and confirm that you selected the wrong category while filling out the form.
Step 2: Visit the official subsidy portal and download the prescribed affidavit format from its home page.
Step 3: Print the affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper worth ₹100. Clearly state that you selected the wrong category by mistake and request correction under the applicable Government order.
Step 4: Mention the application numbers of all the claims covered by the affidavit and sign the document.
Step 5: Combine the affidavit and supporting documents into a single PDF file. Upload this file in the section provided for the GST or PAN document.
Step 6: Make the required correction through the portal, wherever the option is available. Check all details carefully before submitting the application again.
Method 5: Check Your Application Status
After submitting your application, you can check its progress online. This helps you find out whether the dealer or the Transport Department has completed the required checks.
Step 1: Open the official subsidy portal and select the Application Status option.
Step 2: Enter your unique request number or vehicle registration number, as required on the page.
Step 3: Check the status displayed on the screen. It will show the current stage of your application, such as dealer verification, RTO verification or payment.
Step 4: If the dealer has returned your application with a reason, read the remark carefully. Correct the problem and contact the dealer to get your application checked again.
Method 6: Contact Your Regional Transport Office (RTO)
The RTO also plays an important role in checking subsidy applications. Under the revised arrangement, the applicant’s RTO handles the claims and subsidy payments, except for claims related to electric buses.
Step 1: Find the RTO where your electric vehicle is registered.
Step 2: Keep your application number, vehicle registration number and supporting documents ready.
Step 3: Visit the concerned RTO and ask about the progress of your subsidy claim. If any document or information is missing, ask the staff what you need to provide.
Step 4: You can also ask your vehicle dealer to contact the concerned RTO and check the status of your application.
Method 7: Get Road Tax and Registration Fee Exemption
The road tax and registration fee exemption does not require a separate online subsidy application. The dealer applies the exemption while registering your electric vehicle. However, the eligibility conditions depend on the date of registration.
Step 1: Purchase an eligible electric vehicle from a dealer in Uttar Pradesh and ask the dealer to complete its registration.
Step 2: Submit the usual vehicle registration documents, such as identity proof, address proof and the vehicle invoice.
Step 3: Check which exemption period applies to your vehicle:
- 14 October 2022 to 13 October 2025: Eligible electric vehicles purchased and registered in Uttar Pradesh received 100% exemption from road tax and registration fees.
- 14 October 2025 to 13 October 2027: The 100% exemption applies only to electric vehicles manufactured, purchased and registered in Uttar Pradesh.
Step 4: Ask the dealer to confirm that the applicable road tax and registration fee exemption has been included in your vehicle registration record.
Step 5: You do not need to submit a separate claim for this exemption. The dealer applies it through the vehicle registration system during registration.
Method 8: Apply for Benefits as a Charging Station Developer or Vehicle Manufacturer
The Uttar Pradesh EV Policy also provides incentives to businesses that set up charging stations, battery swapping stations or electric vehicle manufacturing units. These incentives follow a separate process and are not available through the vehicle purchase subsidy portal.
Step 1: Visit the Invest UP page for the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy, 2022. Read the incentives available for charging stations, battery swapping stations and manufacturers.
Step 2: Check the minimum investment requirement for your project. For example, the policy specifies a minimum investment of ₹25 lakh for a public charging station and ₹15 lakh for a battery swapping station.
Step 3: Follow the application process prescribed by Invest UP for the relevant incentive. Do not use the vehicle purchase subsidy portal for these business incentives.
Step 4: If you are also purchasing an electric vehicle, you can read our guide to the PM E-DRIVE Scheme. The benefits available under the Central Government scheme and the Uttar Pradesh scheme can be used together, subject to their respective rules.
What to Do If Your Subsidy Payment Is Delayed
If your application has been approved but the subsidy has not reached your bank account, follow these steps to find out the reason.
Step 1: Check your application status on the Official Subsidy Portal. The scheme guidelines provide for payment within 30 days after the application is complete.

Step 3: Contact your dealer first. If the application is pending with the RTO, contact the concerned office and ask about the delay.
Step 4: If the issue remains unresolved, send an email to the Transport Department at atc.revenue-up@nic.in. Include your application number, vehicle registration number and a short explanation of the problem.
