Anchor Booster (RIPS 2024) — 20% Top-Up on Asset Creation Incentive — Eligibility Criteria

To receive the Anchor Booster, an applicant has to clear two tests, not one.

• Service enterprise status — the applicant must be an eligible Service Enterprise under RIPS 2024. The booster is built around the service sector.
• Anchor classification — the enterprise must separately qualify as either a Regional Anchor or a Sectoral Anchor. Both terms are defined in Annexure 9.1.2 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, and the enterprise must satisfy that definition.
• Base incentive eligibility — the project must already be eligible for the Asset Creation Incentive, since the booster is computed on top of it rather than as a standalone benefit.

The decisive test is the anchor classification. An enterprise that does not meet the Annexure 9.1.2 definition of a Regional or Sectoral Anchor does not qualify, however strong the underlying project may be. Projects are assessed within Rajasthan's investment promotion framework, which is administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce.

Anchor Booster (RIPS 2024) — 20% Top-Up on Asset Creation Incentive is open to startups at the revenue and profitable stage. The programme is targeted at startups registered in Rajasthan. Applicants should be registered as private limited, llp and opc.
