Registration & Stamp Duty Subsidy Scheme
The Registration & Stamp Duty Subsidy Scheme (RSDSS) is implemented by the Directorate of Industries, Trade and Commerce (DITC), Government of Goa under the Goa State Incentives to Encourage Investments Scheme, 2017 (Umbrella Scheme). The scheme was introduced to encourage industrial investment in the state by reducing the statutory costs associated with acquiring land or property for industrial use.
The main objective of this scheme is to reimburse stamp duty and registration charges paid for land or property transactions required for establishing or expanding industrial units. These statutory costs can be significant during the initial stage of setting up a manufacturing facility. Through this subsidy, the Government of Goa aims to make industrial investment more attractive and financially feasible. For you as an MSME or startup planning to establish a manufacturing unit in Goa, this scheme helps reduce upfront legal and registration expenses related to land acquisition or property transactions.
