Mizoram IT/ITES Rental Subsidy

For software and services firms, office rent is typically the earliest fixed expense to make itself felt. Under the Industrial and Investment Policy of Mizoram 2025, half of the monthly rent on office space is reimbursed for three years, capped at Rs 1.5 lakh annually.

Eligibility hinges on where the business operates: the scheme covers MSMEs situated in notified IT zones or approved incubation centres. New IT/ITES MSMEs may claim the benefit for five years from the date they commence production, though the rental support component itself extends for three years.

- Secure office space within a notified IT zone or an approved incubation centre, and enter into a registered lease or rent agreement - Keep hold of monthly rent receipts along with bank payment records - Submit the rental-subsidy claim to the Department of Commerce & Industries, Government of Mizoram - Enclose Udyam/MSME registration demonstrating IT/ITES activity, together with proof that production has commenced

The department checks three things before any money moves: the lease agreement, whether the site falls within a notified or approved area, and the rent that was actually paid. Once these are confirmed, it releases 50% of the amount, subject to the annual ceiling.
