Grant

A grant is a discount on Yandex Cloud services provided to an individual entrepreneur, business, or individual. The discount amount is equal to the grant amount. The discount is applied to the total cost of the consumed services.

The currency of the cost of services depends on the agreement and the country of residence:

• For residents of Russia, the cost is represented in rubles (₽) and includes VAT.
• For residents of Kazakhstan the cost is represented in tenge (₸) and includes VAT.
• For non-residents of Russia and Kazakhstan, the cost is represented in US dollars ($) and does not include taxes and fees.

• Have never purchased Yandex Cloud services before.
• Have not activated the trial period.

The initial grant is valid for 60 days. The grant amount and currency depend on your country of residence:

• For residents of Russia and tax residents of Belarus, the grant amount is at least ₽4,000, including VAT.
• For residents of Kazakhstan, the grant amount is at least ₸24,000, including VAT.
