AP Stamp Duty Reimbursement Scheme — 100% Back for Industrial Units — Frequently Asked Questions

It refunds the stamp duty you have paid on three kinds of transactions: buying land for your project, taking land, a shed or a building on lease, and creating a mortgage or hypothecation in favour of a lender to secure a term loan against your assessed Fixed Capital Investment. If the duty was paid on any of these, it falls within the scheme's scope.

The scheme reimburses 100% of the fees paid, so the payout equals the stamp duty you actually incurred on the qualifying transactions. That is why the amount varies from case to case rather than sitting at a fixed figure — a larger land purchase or a bigger term loan means a larger refund. The policy details available do not specify a maximum rupee cap, so it is worth checking the detailed guidelines for any ceiling that may apply.

Eligibility runs across two groups: New Industrial Enterprises, and existing units carrying out Expansion or Diversification projects. On size, there is no narrowing — Micro, Small, Medium, Sub-Large and Large enterprises are all within the eligible set, subject to meeting the conditions of the AP TAG 4.0 policy.

The incentive sits under the Andhra Pradesh Textile, Apparel and Garments Policy 2024-29, so textile and garment manufacturing is the sector the parent policy is built around. The eligibility language itself speaks of industrial enterprises and expansion projects generally, so the safest approach is to check your specific project against the policy guidelines.

No. It is structured as a one-time benefit for each eligible new industrial enterprise or expansion project. The idea is to soften the upfront regulatory cost at the point of establishment or growth, not to provide an ongoing annual payout.

There is no closing date — the scheme runs on a rolling, always-open basis. You can file your claim once the qualifying stamp duty has been paid and your documentation is in order.

No. This is a subsidy-style reimbursement, so it is non-dilutive: the state refunds money you have already spent and takes no shares, no equity and no ownership in your business in return.

The details available for this scheme do not list DPIIT recognition or MSME registration as a stated condition. Eligibility is framed around being a New Industrial Enterprise or an Expansion/Diversification project within the eligible size bands. Confirm the current documentary requirements in the policy guidelines before you file.

You will need proof of the stamp duty paid, covering whichever transaction applies to you — land or building or shed purchase, a lease deed, or a mortgage or hypothecation deed linked to a term loan. Project details supporting the claim are also part of the submission, and the application procedure itself is set out in the 'textile policy 2024-29 -go 55- guidelines.pdf' document referenced by the policy.

Claims go to the designated authority within the Andhra Pradesh Industries Department, following the incentive process laid out in the policy guidelines. The state's incentives portal at https://www.apindustries.gov.in/Incentives/Index.aspx is the starting point for the application route.
