Overview
The Investment Subsidy (Sunrise) is one of the incentives bundled into Rajasthan's Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, and it is delivered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan. Its purpose is to ease the tax load on newly established and emerging businesses — the category the state refers to as Sunrise Enterprises — during the years when they are still finding their feet.
The mechanism is a reimbursement rather than money paid up front. A qualifying enterprise that pays its State tax can recover 75% of the tax due and deposited, and it can keep doing so for 7 continuous years. Cash returned this way improves liquidity and trims operating costs, which frees up capital for expansion, technology adoption and fresh hiring inside Rajasthan.
The finer terms — including exactly which businesses count as an Eligible Sunrise Enterprise — sit in Section 3.3.2.1.3 of the RIPS 2024 policy. Claims are handled on a rolling basis, so there is no single annual window to chase.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Investment Subsidy (Sunrise) pay out?
It reimburses 75% of the State tax that an eligible enterprise owes and has already deposited. There is no uniform rupee figure, because the payout depends on the tax liability of the individual business.
For how many years can an enterprise claim this subsidy?
The reimbursement is available for 7 continuous years. That long runway gives Sunrise Enterprises predictable tax relief that extends well beyond the early startup phase.
Who is eligible to apply?
The scheme is meant for Eligible Sunrise Enterprises operating in Rajasthan. The precise definition of a Sunrise Enterprise is set out in the RIPS 2024 policy document, specifically Section 3.3.2.1.3, so that section is the first thing to read before applying.
Is there a last date for submitting a claim?
No. The scheme runs on a rolling basis, which means claims can be filed at any time rather than against a fixed annual deadline. Even so, it is sensible to check the official policy and portal for any phase-wise cut-offs the state may announce.
Does the government take equity in my company in return?
No. This is a subsidy paid in the form of a tax reimbursement, which makes it non-dilutive — you do not give up any shares or ownership to receive it.
Do I need DPIIT or MSME registration?
The scheme's stated criteria centre on an enterprise qualifying as a Sunrise Enterprise under RIPS 2024 and operating in Rajasthan.

Because policy terms can be revised, confirm the current position in the RIPS 2024 document or with the Department of Industries and Commerce.
