This program offers a crucial financial incentive by providing a complete exemption from stamp duty on the transfer of land or industrial sheds. This exemption applies when such transfers are made by the Government of Odisha, the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO), or approved Private Industrial Estate developers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for the Stamp Duty Exemption?
The exemption is available for new industrial units and existing industrial units undertaking expansion, modernization, or diversification. All eligible units must operate in the Priority and Thrust sectors as defined by the Odisha Industrial Policy Resolution 2022.
What kind of transfers are covered by this exemption?
The exemption applies specifically to the transfer of land or industrial sheds when they are acquired from the Government of Odisha, the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO), or recognized Private Industrial Estate developers.
Is there a maximum value for the stamp duty that can be exempted?
The policy states 'No stamp duty will be required to be paid', implying a full exemption from the applicable stamp duty amount, rather than a cap on the value of the exemption.
What are the 'Priority and Thrust sectors'?
The 'Priority and Thrust sectors' are specific industrial categories identified by the Government of Odisha in its Industrial Policy Resolution 2022 as critical for the state's economic development. Details of these sectors would be available in the full policy document.
Is this a cash grant or a reimbursement?
This is an exemption, meaning the industrial unit is not required to pay the stamp duty in the first place, rather than paying and then seeking a reimbursement. It's a direct cost saving at the point of transaction.
How does this benefit industrial units?
By waiving stamp duty, the program significantly reduces the initial capital outlay required for land or shed acquisition, thereby lowering project costs, improving financial viability, and making Odisha a more attractive destination for industrial investment.
