What about rules owners agree to?

Keep a guest register for five years, send it to the police station monthly, and do police verification for staff. Display the certificate, room rent, menu and check-in and check-out times. Do not run a front office or sell tours, sightseeing packages or handicrafts commercially to guests. Report changes in amenities to the Regional Manager. Units pay water and property tax at domestic rates and need no separate food or restaurant licence. The scheme also mentions reimbursement of up to 40 perce

What about what the source does not say?

The scheme does not state an online portal, a processing deadline for the certificate, or fines. Incentive terms tied to the 2019 to 2024 industrial policy may have lapsed.

How many rooms can a Chhattisgarh homestay have?

Between 1 and 5 rooms (10 beds).

What does registration cost?

Rs 200 to Rs 5,000 depending on whether the unit is tribal, rural, urban or heritage.

How long is the certificate valid?

Three years, with renewal applied for at least 3 months ahead.

We recommend registering on the central NIDHI portal as well. It is a separate registration.

What about once you are registered?

Registration makes you legal. Distribution makes you earn. Fursat lists your home and keeps your calendars in sync across the major booking sites. Start at /list-your-property, or read how the free channel manager works first.
