Quick Answer
M-Sand units in Rajasthan get 50% of their EPF and ESI employer contribution reimbursed for seven years, for domiciled employees.
About this subsidy
Rajasthan's Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 gives manufactured-sand (M-Sand) units an employment generation subsidy: half of the employer's contribution towards EPF and ESI is reimbursed for seven years.
The subsidy is restricted to domiciled employees, so it rewards hiring locally in Rajasthan. Because it attaches to statutory payroll contributions the unit is already making, the claim is straightforward to evidence — EPF and ESI challans are the underlying record.
It is one line of the wider M-Sand package under RIPS 2024, claimed through the state's single-window investment portal alongside the tax, stamp duty, electricity duty and conversion charge concessions.

What You Get
