Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement — 100% Market Fee Relief for 7 Years

The Mandi Fee Reimbursement (Startups) scheme is a statutory incentive offered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan as part of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. In practice, it hands back the Mandi or Market Fee that an eligible startup has paid while trading through the state's regulated agricultural markets.

Market fees are a recurring, transaction-linked cost, and they press hardest on young companies whose business sits in agri-linked trade and market activity. Returning the full fee amount for as long as seven years lowers that cost base, which means money that would have gone to the mandi can instead go into product work, hiring, market expansion or technology.

The scheme is claim-based rather than competitive, and there is no application window to wait for — claims are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications are filed through the state's official investment portal at https://rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in/, following the procedures laid down in the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.

• 100% reimbursement of the Mandi/Market Fee paid
• Benefit available for up to 7 years
• Combined annual ceiling of ₹5 crore across all RIPS 2024 incentives
• Rolling applications — no fixed deadline
• Claim-based subsidy, so there is no equity dilution
• Administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan

The scheme is open to entities that qualify as 'Startups', using the definition set out under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 and applicable state startup policy.

• The startup must be operating in Rajasthan and incurring Mandi or Market Fee within the state. Businesses based elsewhere, or with no market-fee exposure in Rajasthan, fall outside the scheme's scope.
• The benefit is tied to real transactions — you claim against fees you have actually paid, supported by verifiable payment records.
• Proof of recognised Startup status forms part of the claim paperwork.

Specific stage, sector, entity-type or registration conditions are not spelled out in the scheme summary. Founders should check the official policy document on the state portal for the exact criteria in force.

Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement — 100% Market Fee Relief for 7 Years is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement — 100% Market Fee Relief 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.

The core benefit is a full refund of the Mandi or Market Fee a startup has paid.

• 100% of the Mandi/Market Fee is reimbursed, and the benefit runs for up to 7 years, counted from the point at which the startup first claims it.
• Because the reimbursement tracks actual payments, the rupee value varies from business to business.
• Every incentive a startup avails under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 — this reimbursement included — is subject to a combined annual ceiling of ₹5 crore per startup.
• As a subsidy, the scheme does not dilute founder equity and involves nothing to repay. The fees a startup recovers are freed up for product development, market expansion, recruitment and technology investment.

Rajasthan Mandi Fee Reimbursement — 100% Market Fee Relief for 7 Years is offered by Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan, a government body. As a government-backed subsidy, it is publicly funded and open to eligible startups across India.

There is no competitive shortlisting, pitch round or evaluation panel here. This is a statutory incentive under a state policy, so a claim is decided on whether the applicant meets the criteria defined for 'Startups' under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 and whether the submitted documents validate the claim.

• The startup files a formal claim application with supporting records.
• The relevant government department scrutinises the documents and verifies both the startup's eligibility and the fee payments being claimed.
• Once eligibility and the claim are validated, the reimbursement amount is disbursed to the startup.
