Overview
The Rajasthan Office Space Rental Subsidy is one of the incentives packaged into the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, and it is administered by the state's Department of Industries and Commerce. Its job is simple to state: shrink the cost of keeping an office in Rajasthan for the businesses the state has singled out for support, the ones it labels Sunrise Enterprises.
Rent is among the heaviest fixed costs a young company carries before revenue becomes predictable. This incentive absorbs a quarter of that bill, and it keeps doing so year after year instead of arriving as a single rebate. The money that stays in the business can go into hiring, product development or expansion rather than vanishing into a landlord's account.
Because the subsidy sits inside a wider investment-promotion framework, the cash relief comes alongside the regulatory support the state extends to participating enterprises. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no annual window to wait for.
Highlights
- 25% of office rent reimbursed as a subsidy
- Up to ₹1 crore per year
- Runs for five years
- For Sunrise Enterprises bringing new investment into Rajasthan
- Rolling applications — no fixed deadline
- Non-repayable; no equity or repayment involved
Who can apply
Eligibility comes down to two conditions, and both have to be satisfied.
- The applicant must qualify as a Sunrise Enterprise under the scheme — the category the state reserves for businesses in emerging, high-growth sectors.
- The applicant must be bringing new investment into Rajasthan under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.
Since the subsidy is anchored to the state's investment promotion framework, it is aimed at enterprises putting fresh capital to work inside Rajasthan. A business operating elsewhere in the country does not fit the scheme.
On the Sunrise label itself: the published material does not set out a closed list of qualifying sectors. The term is generally used for innovative, fast-moving businesses that the state government wants to attract and keep, and the detailed sector criteria live in the scheme guidelines rather than in the headline description.

Deadline & timing
Rajasthan Office Space Rental Subsidy (Sunrise) — Up to ₹1Cr 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
- 25% of your office rent is reimbursed as a subsidy.
- The benefit runs for five years.
- Payouts are capped at ₹1 crore per year.
- It is non-repayable — a subsidy rather than a loan, with no equity taken in return.
Because the percentage applies to the rent actually paid, a larger leasing outlay produces a larger absolute benefit until the annual ceiling is reached. That ceiling is generous enough that even enterprises with substantial leased premises can draw a meaningful amount.
The practical effect is to free up working capital that would otherwise be committed to premises. Lower operating costs improve cash flow and give the business more room to fund its own growth. Alongside the cash relief, the incentive also carries the regulatory support that comes with participating in the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.

Frequently asked questions
How much funding does the Rajasthan Office Space Rental Subsidy provide?
It picks up 25% of the rent you pay for office space, subject to a ceiling of ₹1 crore per year. The percentage is applied to the rent actually incurred, so a larger leasing outlay means a bigger absolute subsidy until the annual cap comes into play.
For how long can a business claim this subsidy?
Five years. Once you are eligible under the scheme, the benefit continues across that five-year period, which makes it a long-running offset against a recurring cost rather than a one-time payment.
Is this a grant, a loan or an equity investment?
It is a subsidy, meaning non-repayable government assistance. There is nothing to repay and no stake or equity is taken in your company.
Who can apply?
Sunrise Enterprises that are bringing new investment into Rajasthan under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. Both conditions matter — the business has to fit the Sunrise category, and the investment has to be new and located in the state.
What exactly is a Sunrise Enterprise?
The scheme material does not provide a fixed definition. The label is generally applied to businesses in emerging, high-growth sectors, often those built on innovative technologies or business models, that the state government has identified for focused support. The precise criteria sit in the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 guidelines.
Is there a deadline to apply?
No. Applications are rolling and the scheme is always open, so you can apply at any point in the year rather than waiting for a notified window.
Can a company based outside Rajasthan apply?
No. The subsidy forms part of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 and is meant for enterprises bringing new investment into Rajasthan.
What documents are needed?
Expect to provide an application form, proof of your status as a Sunrise Enterprise, your lease agreements, details of the new investment, and financial statements. The definitive checklist and format come from the scheme guidelines issued under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.
Where do I apply?
Applications are made through the state investment portal at https://rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in/, which is where the official guidelines and the application procedure under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 are published.
How is the application evaluated?
The nodal agency screens it for completeness and eligibility, a committee verifies the lease rental claims and the new investment, and statutory plus scheme conditions are checked. Because this is a benefit rather than a competitive round, approval depends on verification, not on beating other applicants. Successful applicants then receive instructions on claiming the annual subsidy.
