About this subsidy
This program provides a significant financial incentive to entrepreneurs from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in Chhattisgarh, offering a 100% exemption from stamp duty on deeds. The exemption applies to transactions involving the purchase or lease of land, construction of industrial sheds, and acquisition of commercial buildings, as well as the transfer of related lease documents. This initiative is a cornerstone of the 'Special Package for SC/ST Entrepreneurs' policy, which aims to foster inclusive industrial growth and empower marginalized communities across the state.

This support is critical for enhancing economic participation and ensuring equitable opportunities within the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Chhattisgarh, driving local development and job creation.
