Chhattisgarh Land Registration Fee Reimbursement — 50% Refund for SC/ST — Frequently Asked Questions

The scheme is meant for entrepreneurs from the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories who are registering land for a business in Chhattisgarh. Both conditions matter: the applicant's category and the fact that the land is being bought for a venture rather than for any other use.

Half of it. The programme refunds 50% of the registration fee the entrepreneur has actually paid on the land, so the exact rupee figure depends on the charges on that particular transaction.

The published amount for the scheme is listed as Varies, since the benefit is calculated as a percentage of the fee paid rather than as a flat sum. No fixed ceiling figure is stated in the scheme details.

Alongside the standard 50% refund, eligible SC/ST entrepreneurs are entitled to an additional 10% subsidy and a 10% increased limit on benefits when compared with what general MSME schemes in Chhattisgarh offer.

None of those. It is classified as a subsidy — the government reimburses an expense the entrepreneur has already incurred. No equity is taken in the business, and nothing has to be repaid.

DPIIT recognition is not mentioned anywhere in the scheme requirements. Udyam registration appears in the list of documents that applications usually carry, where it applies to the business, so it is worth keeping the certificate ready.

The usual set includes proof of SC or ST category status, the land purchase deed, evidence that the land registration fee was paid, Udyam registration where applicable, and a detailed project report or business plan describing the venture.

No. The scheme is part of an ongoing state policy and applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so an entrepreneur can file the claim at any point once the land registration is complete and the fee has been paid.

The policy does not specify any restriction by industry sector or by the operational stage of the business. It is generally open to all legitimate ventures set up by eligible SC or ST entrepreneurs.

Applications go to the designated department of the Government of Chhattisgarh or to the implementing agency handling the Special Package for SC/ST Entrepreneurs, with the state portal at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/ serving as the login point. Claims pass through a verification stage, which may include a site visit or an interview, and after approval the reimbursement is credited to the entrepreneur's registered bank account — typically within a few weeks to a few months.

Chhattisgarh Land Registration Fee Reimbursement — 50% Refund for SC/ST is offered by Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, a government body. It is provided as non-dilutive funding.
