Stamp duty Reimbursement for MSME Tamil Nadu – 50% for Industrial Land

The Reimbursement of Stamp Duty and Registration Charges scheme, introduced by the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, aims to support micro and small-scale enterprises (MSEs) investing in backward blocks. This initiative reduces the financial burden of registration charges and stamp duty incurred on the purchase of industrial land, thereby promoting industrial growth in underdeveloped areas.

• The incentive applies to land purchases exclusively for industrial use.
• This benefit is applicable up to five times the plinth area of the constructed factory building.
• In cases where an enterprise requires additional open land due to its industrial nature, the sanctioning authority may approve an exception on a case-by-case basis.

• The enterprise must be a micro or small-scale manufacturing unit.
