Overview
Employment Booster is a job-linked subsidy for Rajasthan's manufacturing sector. It operates under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 and is administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan.
The design is deliberately additive. Instead of being a standalone grant, the booster rides on the state's Asset Creation Incentive (ACI): an enterprise that has qualified for the ACI and has also generated employment above the minimum threshold listed in Table 1 of the scheme earns an extra 10%, 12.5% or 15% on top of that incentive. The percentage steps up with the employment slab the enterprise reaches, so deeper hiring produces a larger uplift.
Because the booster is calculated as a share of the Asset Creation Incentive rather than as a flat sum, the rupee value differs from one unit to another — it scales with the incentive the enterprise has already secured. That is why the headline amount is shown as varying: the band is fixed, the final figure is not.
For the state, the logic ties capital investment to workforce expansion. Plant and machinery alone do not unlock the booster; verified headcount does, which makes this one of the few Rajasthan incentives written specifically around employment.
Highlights
- 10%, 12.5% or 15% booster over the Asset Creation Incentive
- Open to manufacturing enterprises in Rajasthan
- Unlocked by hiring above the minimum threshold in Table 1 of RIPS 2024
- Higher employment slabs earn the higher percentage
- No separate application round — assessed with the Asset Creation Incentive claim
- Rolling, always-open applications via rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in
Who can apply
Manufacturing enterprises are the intended beneficiaries of this booster. Two conditions must be met before it can be claimed:
- The applicant must be a manufacturing enterprise in Rajasthan.
- Its employment generation must be above the minimum jobs threshold laid down in Table 1 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.
The booster is never claimed on its own. An enterprise must be pursuing the Asset Creation Incentive, since the booster is granted over that eligible ACI amount.
On entity type, the scheme covers legally constituted manufacturing businesses — Private Limited Companies, LLPs, One Person Companies, partnerships and proprietorships are all generally included.
The eligibility rules as stated do not require DPIIT recognition or MSME registration. The qualifying test is the employment an enterprise has generated when measured against the Table 1 threshold.
Employment Booster Rajasthan — 10-15% Top-Up on Asset Creation Incentive is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Deadline & timing
Employment Booster Rajasthan — 10-15% Top-Up on Asset Creation Incentive accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.
What the funding covers
Recipients get a cash subsidy — an extra percentage layered over the Asset Creation Incentive they have already qualified for. The band is 10%, 12.5% or 15%, and the employment slab reached decides which of the three applies.
- Slab 1 — 10% booster: employment of 1.5x but less than 2x the minimum threshold.
- Higher slabs — 12.5% and 15%: the rate depends on how many multiples of the minimum threshold the enterprise reaches.
Since the booster is expressed as a percentage of the ACI, the actual rupee amount varies from enterprise to enterprise rather than being a uniform grant. The state portal rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in is the starting point for the underlying application.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is the Employment Booster?
It is a job-linked cash incentive under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, offered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan. As the name suggests, it boosts the financial support a manufacturing enterprise already receives — it is added on top of the Asset Creation Incentive rather than given independently.
How much funding does the booster provide?
The booster is worth 10%, 12.5% or 15% of the Asset Creation Incentive the enterprise has qualified for. Which of those three rates applies depends on the employment slab reached. Because it is a percentage of the ACI and not a fixed amount, the rupee value varies from enterprise to enterprise.
How is the booster percentage decided?
It is decided by employment slabs, which are expressed as multiples of the minimum employment threshold. For example, generating 1.5x but less than 2x that minimum puts an enterprise in Slab 1, which carries a 10% booster. The higher slabs carry 12.5% and 15%.
Who is eligible to claim the Employment Booster?
Manufacturing enterprises in Rajasthan that generate employment above the minimum threshold stipulated in Table 1 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. The enterprise must also be claiming the Asset Creation Incentive, because the booster is calculated over that eligible incentive amount.
Which types of companies can apply?
The scheme is open to manufacturing enterprises, which generally covers legally incorporated entities such as Private Limited Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), One Person Companies (OPCs), partnerships and proprietorships operating in the manufacturing sector.
Do I need DPIIT recognition or MSME registration to apply?
The eligibility criteria stated for the Employment Booster do not include a DPIIT recognition or MSME registration requirement. What matters is that the applicant is a manufacturing enterprise and that its employment generation clears the threshold in Table 1 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.
Does the government take equity in my business in return?
No. The Employment Booster is a subsidy, not an investment or a loan converted into ownership. The state does not take equity, shares or any ownership stake in exchange for the booster — it is a cash incentive applied over the Asset Creation Incentive.
Is there an application deadline?
There is no fixed last date. The programme runs on a rolling, always-open basis. Applications are made as part of the Asset Creation Incentive process under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, so the timing follows that application rather than a separate booster window.
What do I need to submit along with the application?
You need to submit the Asset Creation Incentive application to the designated state authority together with documentation supporting your employment generation figures. The full Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 document carries the detailed application guidelines and forms, and your booster eligibility is assessed alongside the ACI claim.
How and where do I apply?
Begin with the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 document for the guidelines and forms, then file your Asset Creation Incentive application with the designated state authority. The state investor portal at https://rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in/ is the entry point, and the booster is assessed as part of that same claim.
Who reviews my claim and against what criterion?
A committee from the relevant state government department reviews the application. The key criterion for the booster is verification of the employment the enterprise has generated, measured against the minimum employment thresholds listed in Table 1 of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. Once approved, the booster is applied over the eligible Asset Creation Incentive.
