How to Apply for UP Stamp Duty Exemption for Pumped Storage Plants — Up to 100% Waiver

Applications are handled by the nodal agency or department designated by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, and each file passes through a sequence of checks before the benefit is confirmed.

• Completeness screening — the submission and its annexures are tested against the basic documentation requirements.
• Technical and financial assessment — the project is examined to establish that it fits the 'Mega' or 'Above' classification set out in the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment & Employment Promotion Policy 2022.
• Site verification — the proposed location is checked so that the correct slab of exemption is applied.
• Final approval — a designated committee or authority clears the application once all policy conditions are satisfied.

Since the benefit is an exemption from a statutory charge rather than a cash transfer, the scrutiny centres on whether the project truly belongs in the eligible category and on which district it falls in.
