RIPS 2024 – The Complete Guide

Complete RIPS 2024 guide: three tiers, 75% SGST reimbursement, capital subsidy 13–28% of EFCI, interest subsidy, MSME relaxations and a worked rupee example.

RIPS 2024 (notified 8 October 2024, valid to 31 March 2029) is Rajasthan's flagship investment-incentive scheme. It is a three-tier structure: Tier-1 standard packages, Tier-2 state-priority add-ons, and Tier-3 customised packages for very large investors.

The three tiers of RIPS 2024

Tier-1 – Standard Incentive Packages: covers Manufacturing, Services, Sunrise sectors, MSMEs, Start-ups, Industrial Infrastructure, and R&D/GCC/Test Labs. This is what most businesses claim.

Tier-2 – Add-on incentives driven by state priorities: Green Growth, Export Promotion, and Capability Development. These stack on Tier-1.

Tier-3 – Customised packages (Silver / Gold / Platinum) negotiated for very large strategic investments.

Asset-creation incentive — pick ONE

An eligible manufacturing enterprise makes a one-time, irreversible choice between three options:

OptionWhat you getPeriod / ceiling
Investment Subsidy75% of State tax (SGST) due & deposited7 years; ₹50 Cr/yr (Yr1–3), ₹65 Cr/yr (Yr4–7)
Capital Subsidy13%–28% of EFCI by project & area categoryDisbursed over 10 years
Turnover-Linked IncentiveLinked to incremental turnoverAs notified

On top of the chosen option, every eligible unit can also get: interest subsidy up to 6% p.a. on term loans, 50% EPF/ESI reimbursement for 7 years, and 100% CGTMSE guarantee-fee reimbursement for 7 years.

MSME & service-sector relaxations

The manufacturing standard package normally needs ₹50 crore minimum investment, but MSMEs registered with the Government of India qualify at ₹25 crore, and there is a dedicated MSME package for smaller units. Service enterprises and tourism units enjoy significantly lowered thresholds, with extra benefit for rural tourism and women entrepreneurs.

Worked example

A manufacturing MSME invests ₹5 crore EFCI in a backward tehsil and opts for Capital Subsidy at ~17% (illustrative, area-enhanced):

HeadCalculationAmount
Capital subsidy17% of ₹5 Cr, over 10 yrs₹85 lakh
Interest subsidy6% p.a. on ₹3.5 Cr loan, 5 yrs₹~1.05 Cr
EPF/ESI reimbursement50% of employer share, 7 yrsheadcount-linked
Indicative direct support₹1.9 Cr+

Exact slab depends on project category and the tehsil's area category — we compute it free during the DPR stage.

Frequently asked questions

It was notified on 8 October 2024 and remains in force up to 31 March 2029.
