About this scheme
## Stamp Duty Exemption on Loan & Advances Deeds
SC and ST entrepreneurs in Chhattisgarh can access a full waiver of stamp duty on deeds covering loans and advances, offered under the state government's Special Package for SC/ST Entrepreneurs. The measure is intended to ease the cost burden these entrepreneurs face when raising and securing business finance.
By exempting stamp duty in full on such deeds, the policy seeks to bring down the overall cost of capital for businesses led by Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe owners. Lower capital costs in turn support growth and expansion, since finance becomes easier to obtain.
The exemption forms part of the state's broader effort to pursue industrial development that includes marginalised communities and gives them fair scope to participate in the business ecosystem.
