CG Land Premium Exemption — 100% Waiver for SC/ST Entrepreneurs — Frequently Asked Questions

It is an incentive built into the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 under which the entire land premium on an allotted industrial plot is waived for entrepreneurs from the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. It is administered by the Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh.

Rather than a fixed sum, the benefit is a complete waiver of the land premium — a 100% exemption. The rupee value therefore varies from case to case, since it depends on the premium that applies to the particular plot allotted to you.

The exemption is limited to entrepreneurs belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) category, and only where the land is being allotted in an industrial area administered by the Directorate of Industries or CSIDC within Chhattisgarh. Both conditions — community category and location of the plot — must be satisfied.

No. The benefit runs on a rolling, always-open basis. There is no application window that closes, because the exemption is applied through the ongoing land allotment process rather than through a separate time-bound scheme round.

No. This is a subsidy in the form of an exemption, so there is no equity dilution, no stake taken by the state, and nothing to repay. You simply pay a reduced amount for the land because the premium has been waived.

No. It applies specifically to the land premium. Other charges connected with the plot — such as lease rent, infrastructure or development charges, and stamp duty — still apply unless another provision of the policy separately exempts them.

The policy refers to entrepreneurs, which in practice includes individuals as well as legally recognised entities such as private limited companies, LLPs, one person companies, partnership firms and proprietorships that are establishing industrial units in the state.

You will need documentation proving your eligibility, most importantly a caste certificate establishing SC or ST status, together with your business registration documents. These are submitted as part of the industrial land allotment application.

The stated eligibility conditions do not list DPIIT recognition or MSME registration as a requirement. Eligibility rests on the promoter's SC/ST status and on the land being sought in an industrial area administered by the Directorate of Industries or CSIDC.

You apply through the standard industrial land allotment route. Applications can be filed on the official state portal at https://swsportal.cgstate.gov.in/login/ or at the designated office of the Directorate of Industries or CSIDC. Once your allotment is approved, the 100% premium exemption is applied as per the Industrial Development Policy 2024-30.

CG Land Premium Exemption — 100% Waiver for SC/ST Entrepreneurs is offered by Department of Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, a government body. It is provided as non-dilutive funding.
