Quick Answer
Industries switching to paddy straw boilers get 100% stamp duty relief on land and building bought or leased exclusively for straw storage.
About this subsidy
Punjab's Industrial and Business Development Policy 2022 gives existing industries switching to paddy straw fuel based boilers 100% exemption from — or reimbursement of — stamp duty on the purchase or lease of land and building to be used exclusively for storage of paddy straw. Straw is bulky and seasonal, so a converting unit typically has to secure a large storage yard to run the boiler year-round; the relief removes the duty on that acquisition. The exclusivity condition matters: the premises must be dedicated to straw storage, not shared with other use.
