Overview
The Mandi Fee Reimbursement Scheme sits inside the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024 and is run by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan. It works on a refund model: a manufacturer pays the mandi (market) fee as usual, and the state returns that money in full.
Market fees are levied on dealings at regulated market yards, which means a manufacturer encounters them again and again through the year. Getting the entire amount back trims a recurring cost line and leaves more cash inside the business for production, capacity addition and daily operations. For a state chasing industrial investment, the refund also tilts the economics of setting up or expanding a plant in Rajasthan in its favour.
The support is structured to last for 7 years, so a unit enjoys a long and predictable cost advantage rather than a single one-time concession. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with no fixed window to race against.
Highlights
- 100% refund of the mandi (market) fee paid by manufacturers
- Benefit continues for 7 years
- Rolling applications — no fixed last date
- Open to registered Private Limited Companies, LLPs, OPCs, partnerships and proprietorships
- Delivered under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024

Who can apply
Manufacturing enterprises are the intended users of this scheme. The refund is not aimed at trading, retail or purely service-based businesses.
Any of the standard registered forms of business can claim it, as long as the entity is formally registered and genuinely carrying on manufacturing activity. That covers Private Limited Companies, LLPs, OPCs, partnerships and proprietorships.
When you file a claim, you will normally need to prove your registration status — Udyam registration and GST registration are the usual proofs — along with proof of incorporation.
The refund applies for 7 years, counted from the date of eligibility or on the terms laid down in RIPS 2024.
There is no eligibility cut-off date to beat, since applications remain open through the year.

Deadline & timing
Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement Scheme — 100% Refund for 7 Years 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
An eligible manufacturer receives back 100% of the mandi fee (market fee) it has paid.
The refund stays available for 7 years, so the support builds up over time instead of running out after a single claim.
Because the payout repays a fee the business has already incurred, it is non-dilutive — the promoter gives up no equity, stake or ownership in return.
The practical result is a lighter cost of operations and better cash flow, which lets a unit channel more money into production, expansion or innovation and strengthens its standing in the market.
Claims are settled against the actual fees paid, evidenced by receipts and invoices, so what a business receives tracks what it has genuinely spent.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does this scheme pay for?
It refunds the mandi (market) fee — the levy charged on dealings at regulated market yards — that a manufacturing enterprise has incurred. The refund is complete: the full 100% of the fee is returned to the eligible business.
How much money will I actually receive?
There is no fixed grant figure. The payout equals 100% of the mandi/market fee your unit has paid, so the value depends on how much fee you have incurred. Each claim is backed by the receipts and invoices for those payments.
For how many years does the reimbursement continue?
For 7 years. That period is counted from the date of eligibility, or on the terms laid down under RIPS 2024.
Which businesses can apply?
Manufacturing enterprises. A registered Private Limited Company, LLP, OPC, partnership or proprietorship that is engaged in manufacturing can file a claim. Trading businesses and service-only operations fall outside the scheme's scope.
Do I need Udyam or GST registration to apply?
Yes. An application is normally filed with proof of incorporation, GST registration and Udyam registration attached, together with the receipts and invoices showing the mandi/market fees you have paid. These establish both your registration status and the amount you are claiming.
Does the scheme take equity in my company?
No. The support is a subsidy paid as a reimbursement of a fee you have already incurred. No equity, stake or ownership changes hands, which makes it a completely non-dilutive benefit.
Is there a last date to submit the application?
There is no deadline. Applications are handled on a rolling basis and the scheme stays open, so you can file once your fee payments are properly documented rather than rushing to beat a date.
How and where do I apply?
File through the single-window system or the designated online portal of the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan, following RIPS 2024 guidelines. The state's investment portal at rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in is the starting point.
What happens after I submit my application?
The department verifies your eligibility and the documents supporting the claim. If everything checks out, the reimbursement is approved and the amount is then disbursed to you.
Does the scheme help new units or only established manufacturers?
Both. It forms part of a wider effort to draw fresh investment into Rajasthan's industrial base while also helping existing manufacturers expand, so the benefit applies across the manufacturing sector rather than to one group only.
