About this scheme
The Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu operates the Reimbursement of Stamp Duty and Registration Charges scheme. It addresses the cost that Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) bear on stamp duty and registration charges when they buy land for industrial use in notified backward blocks of the state.
By returning these charges to the enterprise, the scheme lowers the expense of setting up or expanding manufacturing units in districts that have attracted less industrial investment. The intended outcome is a more even spread of economic development across Tamil Nadu.
