About this scheme
## Lease Rental Assistance under MP Startup Policy 2022
The Madhya Pradesh Startup Policy 2022 includes a lease rental assistance scheme for DPIIT-recognised startups operating within the state. The Department of MSME, Government of Madhya Pradesh administers this programme, which forms part of the state's broader efforts to support new enterprises. The department's wider remit covers the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises and the creation of a conducive environment for business formation, consistent with the policy's objectives around economic development, innovation, and employment generation.
Eligible startups receive reimbursement for monthly lease payments. The support covers 50% of the documented monthly lease cost, subject to a ceiling of ₹5,000 per month. Assistance continues for up to three years from the lease start date. Disbursement occurs on a reimbursement basis, requiring startups to submit valid rent receipts. Payments are made quarterly or according to the schedule managed through the MP Startup portal.
The funding applies to leased operational workspace located within Madhya Pradesh. Qualifying premises include facilities in recognised incubators, IT parks, or designated industrial zones. By offsetting rental costs, the assistance allows startups to direct resources towards innovation, product development, market expansion, and hiring, supporting their early-stage growth.
