How to Apply for UP Development Charges Exemption Scheme — 75% Relief for Logistics Parks

Approval is not handled as a standalone application. The exemption is reviewed as part of the wider appraisal of projects under the New UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy 2022.

1. Proposal and incentive application: The developer prepares a detailed project proposal covering the park's scope, location, investment and operating plan, and files a formal application for the incentives, including the development charge exemption, with the nodal agency designated by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
2. Scrutiny and verification: The proposal and application are examined by the relevant state departments and committees to confirm that they comply with the policy's guidelines and criteria.
3. Committee evaluation: A committee with representatives from the concerned government departments — such as Industrial Development, Infrastructure and Logistics — assesses the project's viability, its alignment with the policy's objectives and the impact it would have on the state's logistics ecosystem.
4. Approval and sanction: Once verification and the committee review are cleared, the exemption is sanctioned and the developer is formally notified of the approved benefits, after which the project can proceed with a reduced development charge liability.
