About this scheme
Under Clause 12.8 B(8) of the Industrial and Business Development Policy 2022 of Punjab, MSME units are entitled to a complete waiver or refund of stamp duty payable on the purchase or lease of land and building.
For an industrial plot or shed, stamp duty typically ranks as the biggest single transaction cost after the purchase price itself. The benefit therefore rises in step with the value of the property being acquired.
The policy provides for 100% of the duty. No rupee ceiling is fixed under it, which means the amount of relief depends on the registered consideration.
