About this scheme
Under Rajasthan's Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, units producing manufactured sand (M-Sand) can claim an employment generation subsidy. For seven years, half of the employer's EPF and ESI contribution is reimbursed.
Only employees who are domiciled in the state qualify, which means the subsidy favours local hiring within Rajasthan. Since the claim is tied to statutory payroll contributions the unit already deposits, evidence is easy to furnish — the EPF and ESI challans serve as the record.
This subsidy forms one component of the broader M-Sand package available under RIPS 2024. Applications are made through the state's single-window investment portal, together with the concessions on tax, stamp duty, electricity duty and conversion charges.
