Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement for Services Enterprises

Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, Services Enterprises in the state can claim reimbursement of mandi fees and market fees. The scheme refunds these charges in full, lowering the cost of doing business for eligible units.

Mandi fees and market fees are levied on the sale and purchase of agricultural produce in regulated markets. For service enterprises in supply chain, logistics or processing that deal with these markets, the charges can form a sizeable share of operating costs.

Through this reimbursement, the Government of Rajasthan aims to ease that cost pressure, support investment and encourage growth in the service sector. The incentive sits within a wider policy framework intended to draw and retain businesses, backing both local entrepreneurship and outside investment in the state's economy.

The measure reflects the state's effort to build an environment in which service-oriented businesses can operate without heavy financial overheads tied to market access and trade.

Applications for the Mandi Fee/Market Fee Reimbursement form part of the wider application process under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. Services Enterprises seeking this benefit would ordinarily proceed as follows:

- **Register:** Enrol or register the enterprise under the RIPS 2024 scheme, usually via a portal set up by the state government for this purpose. - **Submit Application:** File an application for the reimbursement incentive in question, setting out particulars of the mandi/market fees paid. - **Provide Documentation:** Supply the supporting documents required, which as a rule comprise proof of enterprise registration, receipts for the mandi/market fees paid, the relevant financial statements, and any other documents stipulated in the scheme guidelines. - **Verification:** The concerned state department examines the application and the documents filed with it. - **Disbursement:** Once verification and approval are complete, the 100% reimbursement is credited to the bank account nominated by the enterprise.

Applicants would be well advised to refer to the detailed guidelines and annexures of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 for exact instructions and the forms to be used.
