About this subsidy
Under the Himachal Pradesh IT, ITeS and ESDM Policy 2019, eligible entities taking co-working space receive a lease rental subsidy of ₹10 per square foot per month. The support is capped at 25% of the actual rent paid and runs for three years.
Because the payout is rate-based, the value depends on the size of the space and the rent actually paid — the policy fixes no lump-sum ceiling. Claims are made under the policy's standard application process through the state's online services portal.
