How to Apply for Chhattisgarh SC/ST Land Diversion Exemption: 50% Fee Waiver up to 15 Acres

Applications are reviewed by the concerned government department in Chhattisgarh, and the District Industries Centre is typically involved in the process.

• Initial screening: the application is checked against the primary eligibility conditions — confirmation of the applicant's SC or ST status, and a clear industrial purpose for the land being diverted.
• Project assessment: the proposed project is evaluated in more depth, covering its viability, the economic impact it is expected to create, and how well it fits the state's industrial policy objectives.
• Document review: the committee examines the submitted papers to confirm they comply with the terms and conditions laid down in the Special Package for SC/ST Entrepreneurs policy.
• Clarifications: applicants may be asked to attend an interview or supply further details during this screening stage.
• Approval: successful applicants receive formal approval of the land diversion fee exemption.

This staged review is designed to ensure that the exemption goes to genuinely eligible applicants whose projects contribute to the state's industrial growth.
