Abstract. As we know, if the general $k$-jet group $G(n,k)$ in $\R$ acts continuously on a manifold of finite dimension $m>0$ and the highest $k$-th order derivatives act nontrivially, then $k$ is bounded by a known function of $m$ and $n$ [4]. In geometric interpretation the estimate function translates into the order of the natural bundle in which the group $G(n,k)$ acts on the standard fibre (meant as the space of geometric objects). On manifolds with extra structure the same question arises for corresponding subgroups of $G(n,k)$, preserving the structure. In this note the sharp upper estimates are found for actions of unimodular, homothetic and symplectic subgroups.
