Rajasthan Sunrise Enterprise Tax Reimbursement — 5% for 7 Years — Frequently Asked Questions

It refunds an extra 5% of State tax that an eligible Sunrise Enterprise owes and pays. The policy expresses the benefit as a percentage rather than a fixed sum, and it does not set a maximum cap in rupees, so the actual amount varies from business to business depending on how much State tax it deposits. The reimbursement runs for seven years.

No. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no fixed closing date or annual window to wait for. You can apply once your enterprise meets the eligibility conditions.

Only enterprises that the state recognises as Sunrise Enterprises and that operate in power-intensive sectors qualify. The business also needs to be operating in Rajasthan. The published criteria for this incentive do not set out requirements around startup stage, entity type, DPIIT registration, MSME registration or founder profile — any further general conditions come from the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 itself.

The policy document does not spell out a definition of the term for this specific incentive. In practice it refers to new or emerging sectors with high growth potential that the state government identifies as strategically important for economic development. Businesses working in those designated sectors are the ones treated as eligible.

'Power-intensive' covers industries whose electricity consumption is notably high relative to their overall operating costs. The specific list of qualifying sectors is expected to be set out in the full Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 document or through later official notifications and guidelines, so it is worth checking those before applying.

Eligible enterprises can claim the extra 5% reimbursement on State tax they owe and pay for a continuous seven-year period, beginning from the date they become eligible under the scheme.

No. This is structured purely as a tax reimbursement. There is no equity stake, no ownership share and no form of government participation in the business. It is a non-repayable financial incentive, so the benefit is non-dilutive for founders and existing shareholders.

The reimbursement is sanctioned after verification and approval, then disbursed to the qualifying enterprise. Payments are made periodically on the schedule defined in the scheme's operational guidelines. Enterprises typically file claims at set intervals, attaching proof that the State tax has been deposited.

Applications sit within the wider Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 framework and can be made through the state's investor portal at https://rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in/. The steps are to register under the scheme, obtain any approvals required from the designated nodal agency — often the Bureau of Investment Promotion (BIP) or the Department of Industries in Rajasthan — and then submit a formal application. Supporting documents generally include proof of State tax payment, operational details, official classification as a Sunrise Enterprise and evidence that the business operates in a power-intensive sector. Everything submitted is verified before any sanction is issued.

Neither is listed as a requirement for this incentive in the published criteria. Eligibility here turns on Sunrise Enterprise status and operating in a power-intensive sector within Rajasthan. Do check the full Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 document for any general conditions that may apply.
