GrantGrant-in-Aid Scheme
The Grant-in-Aid Scheme of the National Book Trust, India (NBT) is a Government of India financial-assistance programme intended to support organisations conducting activities that promote books, reading, literature and the wider reading culture in India. NBT, India is an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, and the scheme provides financial assistance to eligible organisations for approved book-promotion activities. The current 2026–27 Scheme for Financial Assistance is the applicable policy document for this opportunity. The opportunity is particularly relevant for voluntary organisations, NGOs, societies, trusts and other eligible institutions that organise activities such as book fairs, literary programmes, seminars, workshops, reading-promotion activities and related initiatives. The purpose is not simply to provide general organisational funding; the expenditure must relate to activities and budget items that are approved by NBT under the scheme. Applications are assessed on their merits, and the amount ultimately sanctioned can be different from the amount initially requested. A key financial feature of the scheme is that the grant sanctioned cannot exceed 75% of the total approved budget. In other words, the applicant organisation is generally expected to contribute at least the remaining 25% from its own resources. For example, where an activity has an approved budget of ₹10 lakh, the maximum NBT assistance under the 75% rule would be ₹7.5 lakh, subject to approval of the relevant budget items. The official policy specifically explains that the approved budget itself may also be lower than the amount proposed by the applicant. The scheme also has a defined approval mechanism. Applications are scrutinised by a three-member Grant-in-Aid Committee, which includes a representative of the Ministry of Education. The committee reviews the proposals and recommends whether assistance should be provided and at what level. For requests of up to ₹10 lakh, the Chairman of NBT is empowered to sanction the grant; requests above ₹10 lakh are referred to the Ministry of Education for approval/sanction. The final sanctioned amount therefore depends on the assessment and approval process rather than being automatically granted at the requested level. The release of funding is also structured rather than being paid as an unrestricted lump sum. Under the current policy, the approved grant is released in installments, subject to the applicant completing the required documentation and compliance conditions. The first installment is linked to approval and submission of required documents such as the bond, surety/witness identification, affidavit and undertaking. Subsequent release is linked to financial and utilisation documentation, including the Utilization Certificate, Income & Expenditure Statement, Balance Sheet certified by a registered Chartered Accountant, original bills and supporting evidence. Organisations receiving the grant therefore need to maintain proper financial records and use the money only for the purpose for which it has been sanctioned. The NBT policy also requires recipients to provide the necessary utilisation documentation after completion of the activity. The 2025–26 policy, which provides the same core compliance framework, states that a Utilization Certificate supported by audited accounts is required within 90 days of completion of the event. This demonstrates the importance NBT places on post-grant accountability and proper documentation. Another important condition is that the organisation must have its own financial contribution. The policy requires at least 25% of the actual expenditure to be contributed by the organisation from its own sources where applicable. The scheme is therefore better suited to organisations that already have some institutional capacity and can demonstrate that they can manage the remaining project cost rather than relying entirely on NBT funding. NBT also maintains monitoring rights over supported activities. Organisations receiving assistance may be subject to on-site inspection by NBT officials, auditors or authorised representatives, and recipients are required to provide documentation and other evidence necessary for monitoring. The supported book-promotion activity is expected to be accessible to citizens without discrimination on grounds specified in the scheme. For an NGO preparing an application, the strongest approach is to present a specific, well-budgeted book or reading-related programme rather than a general request for organisational expenses. The proposal should clearly explain the purpose of the activity, the target participants, the expected public benefit, implementation plan, estimated expenditure, the organisation's own contribution and the measurable outputs expected from the programme. Since NBT sanctions assistance only for approved budget items, the budget should be realistic, transparent and directly connected to the proposed activity.
