What about the scheme, in plain facts?

Authority: Arunachal Tourism Department.

What about gst and tax?

The same national rule applies here as everywhere in India: 5% GST with no input tax credit for most bookings, rising to 18% only on rooms tariffed above ₹7,500/night. Below the GST registration threshold (₹20 lakh annual turnover, ₹10 lakh in special-category states), you may not need to register for GST at all — check with a CA once your booking volume is real rather than projected.

Where do I apply to register a homestay in Arunachal Pradesh?

Through the District Tourism Office in your district headquarters, alongside the free central NIDHI registration (nidhi.tourism.gov.in) every homestay in India should also complete.

How long does approval take in Arunachal Pradesh?

Around 45 days, longer than most states, because an in-person inspection is common for first-time registrations.

Is there a subsidy for building a homestay in Arunachal Pradesh?

Yes — the state runs a Homestay Tourism Promotion Scheme with capital subsidies and training programmes. Confirm current tiers and eligibility directly with the Arunachal Tourism Department before budgeting against it.
