Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement for Startups

The Mandi Fee Reimbursement (Startups) scheme operates as an incentive under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, aimed at startups based in Rajasthan. It targets the cost of operations for newer businesses, especially those in the agricultural value chain and allied market activities where Mandi/Market Fees apply.

Under the scheme, the Government of Rajasthan provides a 100% reimbursement of these fees for a period extending up to seven years. The purpose is to encourage entrepreneurial growth, ease the process of doing business, and build a more competitive ecosystem for emerging startups.

For early-stage companies, which often carry substantial overheads, this financial incentive matters. Savings from the reimbursement can be directed towards product development, market expansion, talent acquisition, and business innovation, which in turn supports job creation and economic development across Rajasthan.

Applications for the Mandi Fee Reimbursement (Startups) follow the application procedure laid out in the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. A startup seeking the reimbursement normally files a formal claim application with the designated authority, attaching the required supporting documents. These usually comprise proof of recognised 'Startup' status under state policies, evidence of the Mandi/Market Fee payments made, and other relevant financial statements and business registration particulars. The process moves through three stages: submission of the application; verification and scrutiny of all documents by the concerned government department; and, once eligibility and the claim are validated, disbursement of the reimbursement amount directly to the startup. For exact requirements and submission guidelines, refer to the official scheme document.

Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, this incentive is statutory rather than competitive. A business qualifies by satisfying the criteria laid down for 'Startups' under the scheme. Claims are settled after eligibility and the supporting documents have been verified; no comparative assessment of applicants takes place.
