Retail & Wholesale Trader Subsidy in Rajasthan

Retail and wholesale traders in Rajasthan are now classified as MSMEs and covered by the Rajasthan Trade Promotion Policy 2025 — with interest subvention, credit-guarantee fee support, insurance and e-commerce reimbursement. Read the full Trade Policy guide →

Why Rajasthan traders now qualify for subsidy

Rajasthan has over 1.05 million retail stores and roughly an 8% share of India's retail market. Until recently traders were outside the subsidy net; the Trade Promotion Policy 2025 changes that by bringing retail and wholesale trade under MSME classification, so a trading enterprise can register on the Udyam portal and access Priority Sector Lending and the benefits below. It covers the full value chain — street vendors, departmental stores, supermarkets, and single- and multi-brand stores — and is valid up to 31 March 2029.

How to claim — and what we file

The first step is Udyam registration of the trading enterprise under the correct micro/small category. We then prepare the loan proposal and file for the relevant benefit — interest subvention, CGTMSE fee support, insurance or e-commerce reimbursement — through the State's single-window process, with verification by the District Industries Centre. Most benefits are paid as reimbursement after the underlying payment is made.
