इस ग्रांट के बारे में
The West Bengal Incentive Scheme, launched on February 22, 2021, by the Department of Tourism, Government of West Bengal, aims to foster entrepreneurship and employment generation in the state. Under this umbrella, the "State Capital Investment Subsidy" sub-scheme provides crucial financial assistance to prospective entrepreneurs looking to establish or expand their businesses, particularly in the tourism sector.
The broader objective of the scheme is to empower self-employed youth to become employers by providing financial support for their ventures. Concurrently, the "Capacity Utilisation" component of the scheme offers a unique incentive: approved mega tourism projects are entitled to additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) beyond the maximum permissible limits, as determined by competent authorities. This specific benefit is designed to support the expansion and increased operational capacity of large-scale tourism infrastructure.
The scheme is valid until December 31, 2025, and encourages both new tourism projects/units and the expansion of existing ones to avail its benefits, thereby boosting the tourism ecosystem and economic development in West Bengal.

Additionally, for approved mega projects, the scheme provides significant regulatory support by entitling them to additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) over and above the maximum permissible limit. This allows for greater construction and expansion, enhancing the operational capacity of large tourism units, and is a direct benefit for growth and infrastructure development.
