About this scheme
The Bihar Stamp Duty and Registration Fees Reimbursement Scheme operates as an incentive under the Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Policy-2016. Its purpose is to encourage industrial growth and draw fresh investment into the state by easing the substantial upfront costs that come with setting up new manufacturing or service units.
Under this scheme, entrepreneurs and businesses receive reimbursement of the entire stamp duty and registration fees paid when acquiring industrial land or sheds. This financial relief is intended to lighten the burden on new units and make Bihar a more attractive location for starting operations.
By extending support from the earliest stage of setup, the Government of Bihar seeks to build an environment favourable to industrial development, create employment, and strengthen the state's economy.
The benefit is made available to all eligible new units, which ensures fair access and supports industrialisation across Bihar.
