@abhishek.balaji ,@Mumbai - I have few queries below regarding subsidy application form. May be, folks who already submitted documents for subsidy can help. A. Application form

1. Vehicle no (Sr no 5) and RC Book / Registration No. (Sr no 11) - are these same?
2. what should be Type of Battery (Sr no 12)? Lithium?
3. Charger No. - is it really required to update? there is one number on tax invoice provided by dealer. should that be used?
4. Date of Purchase (Sr no 17) and Invoice value price of electrical vehicle & date (Sr no 18) - should these be different?
5. which invoice should be shared? There are some differences (e.g invoice date, minor difference in amount)in tax invoices shared by dealer and Ather’s invoice available on portal.
6. Admissible Subsidy Amount (in Rs.) - should it be 5000?

B. Stamp receipt form - what to fill in

1. Received from - ?
2. Vide Payment Ref No. DI/PSI/Sanction order - ? or to be kept bank?
3. The Sum of Rupees - 5000?
4. again same amount below? The Sum of Rupees ……………………………………………………………………

quick observation

1. Battery number - This is available on Tax invoice provided by dealer. do we need to re-confirm?
2. Year of manufacture - This is available on RC. So, don’t need to write to dealer/retail partner, I guess. So, do we really need to contact retail partner/dealer for this?
