Recent doubts about whether the national subsidy program has ended have been circulating on social media. The latest update on November 24 confirms that the national "trade-in" subsidy policy for consumer goods has not been canceled, with the fourth batch of subsidies totaling 69 billion yuan currently being distributed nationwide. According to documents from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance, this is the final round of subsidies for conventional categories in 2025, with the application channel remaining open until 24:00 on December 31, 2025. After this deadline, no further applications will be accepted.

1. Policy Core: 300 Billion Yuan in Four Batches, Final Countdown In 2025, the government allocated a total of 300 billion yuan in ultra-long-term special treasury bonds, distributed in four batches to stimulate consumption: - First batch (Jan–Mar): 81 billion yuan—fully utilized - Second batch (Apr–Jun): 75 billion yuan—fully utilized - Third batch (Jul–Sep): 75 billion yuan—fully utilized - Fourth batch (Oct–Dec): 69 billion yuan—resumed on November 1, currently being disbursed
Notably, starting in 2026, this policy will be fully phased out, with subsidies for conventional categories such as home appliances, digital products, and automobiles no longer uniformly implemented at the central level but instead managed by local governments. Missing this round means waiting at least another year, with no guarantee of similar opportunities in the future.

4. ⚠️ Critical Reminder: Only 30–40 Days Left Although the national deadline is December 31, the actual window is much tighter: - **Fast Depletion:** Over 80% of funds have been used, with daily consumption at ~2.3 billion yuan. At this rate, subsidies may run out by mid-December. - **Early Closures in Some Regions:** - Red-alert provinces (e.g., Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangdong) may stop issuing new subsidies around December 15. - Xinjiang and Pingxiang, Jiangxi, have already halted applications with no plans to resume. - Hubei and Ningxia have shifted to time-limited quota releases. - **Instant Sell-Outs:** Subsidy slots for popular items like air conditioners and smartphones are being snapped up in seconds, with scalpers using scripts to hoard quotas in 0.3 seconds.
