Apr 15 (BNP): The Chhattisgarh Cabinet on Wednesday approved a significant decision to reduce land registration charges by 50% for properties registered in the name of women. The move is aimed at encouraging women’s ownership of property and strengthening their financial independence.
In a separate decision, the Cabinet also approved a 25% concession in stamp duty for defence personnel, ex-servicemen from Chhattisgarh, and their widows. This benefit will apply to property purchases worth up to ₹25 lakh within the state.
The decisions were taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar.
Officials said the measures are designed to support social welfare, improve financial inclusion, and provide targeted benefits to women and defence families in the state.
