AP MSME Stamp Duty Reimbursement (MEDP 4.0) — 100% Refund — Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Answers to the questions founders most often ask about AP MSME Stamp Duty Reimbursement (MEDP 4.0) — 100% Refund — who qualifies, the funding amount, required documents and how the application works.

Frequently asked questions

What does the AP MSME stamp duty reimbursement actually pay back?

It refunds the statutory charges an MSME pays on qualifying property and financing transactions. The covered items are stamp duty, transfer duty, land conversion charges, and the stamp duty on mortgages and hypothecations — each refunded at 100% of what was paid.

How much funding can I receive?

There is no flat figure. The scheme reimburses 100% of the eligible charges you actually paid, so the amount varies with the size and nature of your transaction. If your land purchase attracted a particular stamp duty, transfer duty and land conversion charge, that full sum is what the reimbursement is calculated on.

Which types of transactions qualify?

Four situations are covered: buying land for industrial use, taking land, a shed or a building on lease, and creating a mortgage or a hypothecation over enterprise assets. The stamp duty tied to the mortgage or hypothecation is included as well.

Who is eligible to claim this reimbursement?

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises are the intended beneficiaries under MEDP 4.0. The claim also has to relate to one of the eligible transactions described in the policy.

Is this a one-time benefit or can I claim it repeatedly?

It is a one-time reimbursement. It is not an annual incentive that can be drawn again each year.

Is there a last date to apply?

No. The scheme runs on a rolling, always-open basis, so applications are not tied to a fixed window. The trade-off is that complete documentation is still needed before a claim can be verified.

Does the government take equity in my company?

No. This is a subsidy-style reimbursement, so no shares or ownership stake are taken in exchange. What you receive is a refund of charges you have already paid, which makes the benefit non-dilutive.

Do I need MSME or DPIIT registration?

The scheme is designed for MSMEs, and proof of MSME registration is among the documents the application process expects. The published details do not lay down a separate DPIIT recognition requirement.

What documents will I need to apply?

Typically proof of MSME registration, enterprise incorporation documents, land purchase or lease agreements, receipts showing payment of stamp duty, transfer duty and land conversion charges, and details of any mortgage or hypothecation. The exact forms and annexures are set out in the MEDP 4.0 policy document.

How and where do I apply?

Begin with the official policy document, OG-For-AP-IDP-MSME-EDP-FPP-(4.0)-2024-29.pdf, which specifies the forms, annexures and whether submission happens online through a dedicated portal or offline at the District Industries Centre (DIC). After you submit, the Department of Industries or its designated committee verifies the claim and processes the disbursement. The state's incentives page at apindustries.gov.in is the entry point.
