RIPS 2024 Green Rating Consent Fee Waiver — 50% Off Pollution Board Fees

RIPS 2024 Green Rating Consent Fee Waiver is a compliance-cost subsidy run by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan, under the green incentives block of the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024.

Any industrial plant operating in Rajasthan needs two clearances from the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board — consent to establish and consent to operate — and each one attracts a fee set according to the size of the unit. Units that are covered by the Rajasthan Green Rating System pay only half of that charge.

The design is deliberate. Relief here is pegged to green rating rather than to project size, so a unit that gets itself covered under the rating system locks in a lasting reduction on a cost it meets again at every renewal cycle. Because the amount is halved at the counter instead of being reimbursed afterwards, the saving lands at the moment consent is paid for.

This sits inside the green incentives category of RIPS 2024, whose benefits share a common ceiling and are disbursed across ten years. Applications and claims run through Rajasthan's single-window investment portal at rajnivesh.rajasthan.gov.in, and there is no closing date — the window stays open.

• Consent fee cut by half for green-rated industrial units in Rajasthan
• Open to units covered under the Rajasthan Green Rating System
• Applies to consent to establish and consent to operate charges
• Part of the green incentives block of RIPS 2024
• Run by the Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Rajasthan
• No deadline — applications are rolling via the state single-window portal

The trigger for this incentive is green rating coverage, not the scale of your project.

• Your unit must be covered under the Rajasthan Green Rating System.
• You must be an Eligible Enterprise under RIPS 2024 — the manufacturing, services or sunrise focus categories.
• The unit must be located in Rajasthan.
• The relief applies to the consent fee payable to the pollution control board in connection with consent.

One thing to keep in mind: green incentive benefits under RIPS 2024 share a common category ceiling, and those benefits are disbursed over 10 years. This waiver counts within that overall limit.

RIPS 2024 Green Rating Consent Fee Waiver — 50% Off Pollution Board Fees is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

RIPS 2024 Green Rating Consent Fee Waiver — 50% Off Pollution Board Fees 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 benefit is a 50% waiver of the consent fee for industries covered by the Rajasthan Green Rating System. The charge is halved rather than refunded, so the money stays with you at the point you pay for consent to establish or consent to operate.

• It applies to the consent fee payable in connection with the pollution control board's consent.
• The clause states a percentage, not a rupee figure — no cap is given in the waiver itself.
• Green incentive benefits as a whole are subject to the common category ceiling.
• Green incentive benefits are disbursed over ten years.

Because the saving is expressed as a share of a fee, the rupee value depends on your plant's scale and the fee it attracts.

RIPS 2024 Green Rating Consent Fee Waiver — 50% Off Pollution Board Fees 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.
