About this scheme
Under the Himachal Pradesh IT, ITeS and ESDM Policy 2019, entities that qualify and take up co-working space can claim a lease rental subsidy of ₹10 per square foot per month. This support is subject to a ceiling of 25% of the rent actually paid, and it is available for a period of three years.
Since the payout is calculated on a per-unit rate, what an applicant receives varies with the size of the premises and the rent actually paid. The policy does not prescribe any lump-sum ceiling.
Claims must be filed through the policy's standard application process, using the state's online services portal.
