Integrated Logistics Facilities Scheme — Stamp Duty Reimbursement, Gujarat — Frequently Asked Questions

It refunds the stamp duty you paid while buying land for a new integrated logistics facility or logistics park. Nothing else is covered — the assistance is specifically tied to the stamp duty component of your land acquisition cost.

There is no flat amount on offer. The payout varies from project to project because it is calculated from the stamp duty you actually paid on the land for your eligible unit or project.

No. The scheme is limited to new units and new projects. Land bought for a facility that already exists or for an expansion of an older development does not qualify for the reimbursement.

Two milestones have to be satisfied. First, all the land required for the project must have been purchased. Second, at least 40% of the project's construction must be complete. The reimbursement follows those milestones rather than the land purchase alone.

Neither. It is a reimbursement — a subsidy that returns a cost you have already borne. No shareholding, equity or ownership in the project is given up in exchange, and it is not repayable like a loan.

The scheme remains operative from August 2, 2021 until August 1, 2026, and applications close with it on August 1, 2026. The land purchase on which you claim the stamp duty reimbursement must also fall within that operative period.
