About this scheme
Punjab's Industrial and Business Development Policy 2022 offers eligible units either a full waiver of stamp duty or its reimbursement when land and buildings are bought or leased. Since stamp duty is calculated as a share of the deed value and must be settled before registration, a unit buying a plot or shed faces a substantial outflow of cash right at the outset of the project.
Where duty has already been discharged at the time of registration, the policy provides for reimbursement instead of an upfront exemption. Units should therefore retain the stamped instrument along with the receipts, as these are required to support the claim.
