West Bengal Textile Incentive Scheme — 100% Stamp Duty Reimbursement — Eligibility Criteria

To receive the reimbursement, your unit has to be a textile business and has to clear the scheme's production-date, ownership and approval conditions.

• Activity: units that manufacture or process textiles, apparel and technical textile products.
• Start of production: the unit must have begun production on or after 1 April 2022.
• Ownership pattern: private sector, co-operative sector and joint sector units all qualify, as do companies and undertakings that are owned or managed by the State Government.
