About this subsidy
The “Goa State Logistics and Warehousing Incentives Scheme” was launched by the Department of Industries, Government of Goa, and is implemented by The Directorate of Industries, Trade and Commerce (DITC). The scheme aims to provide crucial financial assistance for the development and growth of the logistics and warehousing industry within the State of Goa. Specifically, this component of the scheme focuses on providing a substantial subsidy by reimbursing Stamp Duty and Registration Charges. This support is available to prospective developers who are engaged in establishing new Logistics and Warehousing projects, as well as those undertaking expansion or diversification efforts. By offering 100% reimbursement, capped at ₹10,00,000 for Stamp Duty and ₹10,00,000 for Registration Charges (available one time per component), the scheme significantly reduces the initial capital outlay required for eligible purchases or leases of land, buildings, or sheds. This incentive is designed to encourage investment, facilitate business operations, and ultimately bolster the logistics infrastructure across Goa.

Selection Process
Upon receiving the application, the Directorate of Industries, Trade and Commerce (DITC) conducts an initial review and may raise queries to the applicant for any observed shortfalls in the application form or submitted documents. Following successful verification, DITC designates an official to inspect the Entity and verify all records and documents as per the verification-cum-recommendation checklist (Annexure X). The inspection report is uploaded to the portal within 48 hours and made available to the entrepreneur. Key details verified during inspection include the address of the Land/Building, Category of the project, Date of completion of construction, and Date of commencement of commercial operation. After the Inspection Report, the application is forwarded to the Chief Executive Officer, Goa Investment Promotion and Facilitation Board (Goa-IPB) for due diligence procedures. Based on Goa-IPB's recommendation, DITC prepares an appraisal note to present to the Incentive Review Committee (IRC), which is responsible for scrutinizing and sanctioning the claims. After the IRC's recommendations, DITC prepares the final approval note for the Accounts Department to disburse the incentives. All sanctioned claims are organized chronologically and disbursed within a maximum period of 90 days from the date the application is received.
