About this scheme
Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, the Stamp Duty Exemption and Reimbursement programme offers relief on stamp duty for enterprises building certain types of infrastructure in the state. The scheme applies to businesses establishing Research & Development (R&D) centres, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), and advanced Test labs.
Stamp duty payable by such enterprises is waived to the extent of 75%, with the remaining 25% returned as reimbursement by the Government of Rajasthan.
Through this support, the state aims to draw investment into high-value sectors, encourage innovation, generate employment, and strengthen its standing as a technology and industrial hub. For eligible enterprises, the relief lowers statutory costs and frees up capital for operational growth and technological advancement.

How to apply
Applications for the Stamp Duty Exemption and Reimbursement must be filed in accordance with the detailed guidelines laid down under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024. In general, the process requires the applicant to place a comprehensive proposal or application form before the designated state authority, describing the R&D centre, GCC, or Test lab proposed to be set up. Documents ordinarily called for include proof of incorporation, particulars of the project, investment plans, and such other forms as the RIPS 2024 policy prescribes. Once eligibility and project particulars are verified satisfactorily, the exemption is sanctioned and the reimbursement of the balance amount is set in motion according to the disbursement schedule stipulated in the policy. For the exact application forms, submission portals, and timelines, applicants should consult the official RIPS 2024 policy document.
How applications are assessed
Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, the Stamp Duty Exemption and Reimbursement is not awarded through competition. Instead, approval rests on how closely an application matches the eligibility criteria laid out in the scheme. A dedicated committee within the Government of Rajasthan carries out the review.
That committee examines whether the proposed R&D centre, GCC, or Test lab satisfies the definitional and investment thresholds specified in the policy. It also weighs the enterprise's compliance with all statutory requirements and its commitment to the project. Applicants who set out their eligibility clearly and submit complete, accurate documentation in line with the RIPS 2024 guidelines are the ones who succeed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the primary benefit offered under this program?
Eligible enterprises receive a 75% exemption on stamp duty, and the remaining 25% is reimbursed, so the full stamp duty for setting up specific facilities is covered.
Which types of entities are eligible to claim this benefit?
The benefit applies to enterprises setting up new Research and Development (R&D) centres, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), or Test labs in Rajasthan, and the term 'enterprise' covers a range of corporate legal structures.
Under which policy is this incentive provided?
The stamp duty incentive sits within the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) 2024, a state policy aimed at drawing in and supporting industrial investment.
Is this incentive available nationwide or limited to a specific region?
Only enterprises that establish R&D centres, GCCs or test labs inside Rajasthan can access this programme's benefits, as the policy applies solely within the state.
What is the nature of the financial support – a grant, loan, or subsidy?
The scheme provides a subsidy by exempting part of the stamp duty upfront and reimbursing the remainder afterwards. It is neither a loan to be repaid nor a direct cash grant, but a reduction and recovery of a statutory fee.
How can an enterprise apply for this stamp duty benefit?
Applications are submitted through the process set out in the full Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024 document, which requires project details and supporting documents to be filed with the state government department implementing RIPS 2024.
Are there any specific industry restrictions for this program?
No. Eligibility turns on the kind of facility being set up — an R&D centre, a GCC or a test lab — rather than on the industry, since such functions can be housed within any industrial sector.
