About this scheme
The Subsidy on Stamp Duty and Registration Fee (SDRFS) is a sub-scheme of the Banglashree for MSME scheme. It was introduced on April 1, 2020, by the Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Textiles, Government of West Bengal, and remains in force until March 31, 2025.
Banglashree for MSME works towards balanced development and a sustainable ecosystem for the MSME sector across West Bengal. It aims to maximise resource utilisation, generate employment and widen operational areas, so that the state becomes a leader in the MSME sector nationally.
Under SDRFS, entrepreneurs are reimbursed the stamp duty and registration fees they pay for registering documents within the State. This fiscal incentive lowers the initial setup costs for new or expanding manufacturing-sector MSMEs, supporting industrialisation and economic growth across the region.

How applications are assessed
The Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Textiles, Government of West Bengal, screens each application to confirm it is complete and that the applicant qualifies. Assessment rests on how far a submission meets the scheme's criteria — the type of enterprise, its focus on the manufacturing sector, when commercial production began, and whether the land or building is put to appropriate use for an approved project.
Applications that clear this stage are taken forward for reimbursement of stamp duty and registration fees. The amount is worked out from the project details declared by the applicant and the geographical zone under which the project falls.
