Stamp Duty Refund

Stamp Duty Refund is a Haryana government scheme that refunds a part or the full amount of stamp duty paid on buying or leasing industrial land and property in the state. It helps new and expanding units, service enterprises, and industrial park developers cut the upfront cost of setting up a business.

This scheme started under the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Policy 2015 and continued under the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy (HEEP) 2020. In 2026, the state replaced HEEP 2020 with the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026, and stamp duty and registration concessions remain part of the new policy package.

As of 10 August 2026, applications for stamp duty refund are still accepted online through the Antyodaya-SARAL portal. Claims already filed or in process continue to be handled under HEEP 2020 scheme rules, and fresh applications will follow the new zone-based guidelines once they are notified.

Stamp Duty Refund: Key Details and 2026 Update

Update 2026: Make in Haryana Industrial Policy

Haryana Cabinet approved the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 on 18 May 2026, which formally replaces HEEP 2020 after its five-year term. The new policy targets ₹5 lakh crore of fresh investment and 10 lakh direct jobs over five years. It keeps stamp duty and registration concessions for industrial units, with exact rates to be set out in the operative scheme guidelines.

A big change in the new policy is the removal of the old A, B, C and D block classification. In its place, every administrative block is now mapped as a Core, Intermediate, Sub-Prime or Prime (Focus) Area, so incentives reach all parts of the state instead of only a few districts.

For applicants, HEEP 2020 scheme guidelines still apply to claims already in the pipeline. Units that bought land up to 31.12.2025 and started production after 01.01.2021 can still claim under the old rules. Separate Stamp Duty and Registration Reimbursement Scheme Guidelines for incubators under the Haryana State Startup Policy 2022 were also notified on 24 April 2026, allowing 100% refund to eligible incubators for expenses between 7 July 2022 and 6 July 2027.

Benefits

Stamp duty refund is paid to eligible units after commercial production starts, or to park developers after the infrastructure is complete. The refund amount depends on the location of the unit and its sector.

Sectors like ESDM, Data Centres and Import Substitution Enterprises usually get a 100% refund in eligible blocks. General industrial units must start commercial production within 5 years of buying the land, and expansion projects with 50% additional investment in plant and machinery are also covered.
