IT units: Haryana extends stamp duty exemption Chandigarh, August 8 The decision is likely to result in lowering of interest rate from 12 per cent currently charged on long-term credit extended to farmers by these banks. The federal structure consisting of the Haryana State Agriculture and Rural Development Bank (HSARDB) at the apex level and 86 primary agriculture and rural development banks (PARDBs) at the primary level was finding it difficult to compete with the current banking scenario of the state as commercial banks are entering the farm and non-farm sectors in a big way. After the integration of 86 PARDBs, the HSARDB would be able to manage its funds better by avoiding undue surpluses, remittance charges and cutting down management cost sizeably. The Cabinet decided to amend its information technology policy to extend the time limit of exemption from payment of stamp duty and registration fee for setting up IT units or IT parks or cyber city in the state till June 30, 2008. As many as 90 per cent exemption or concession of stamp duty and registration fees for IT industry would be allowed for facilities established and sold or leased from the date of notification up to December 31, 2003; 75 per cent after January 1, 2004, and up to June 30, 2005; 60 per cent after July 1, 2005, and up to December 31, 2006; and 45 per cent after January 1, 2007, and up to June 30, 2008. This rebate would also be available for sale or lease of land in a government — approved software technology park or information technology park or cyber city and also in an industrial estate developed by public authorities, public sector organisations or private organisations where such sale or lease is for establishing an IT industry. The Cabinet also approved an amendment to Rule 22 of the Haryana (Prevention and Control of Water Pollution) Rules, 1978, and the Haryana Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Rules, 1983 for charging of consent fee in respect of mining activities in the state. It was decided to link the fee for consent to establish and an annual fee for consent to operate the mining activities with royalty. In case the royalty as determined in the auction is Rs 5 crore or above, the fee for consent to establish would be Rs 1 lakh and the annual fee for consent to operate would be Rs 2 lakh. If
royalty is between Rs 2.5 crore and Rs 5 crore, the fee for consent to establish would be Rs 75,000 and the annual fee for consent to operate Rs 1.50 lakh. Similarly, in the case of royalty being between Rs 1 crore and Rs 2.5 crore, the fee for consent to establish would be Rs 60,000 and the annual fee for consent to operate Rs 1.25 lakh. The Cabinet decided to approve the draft Bill to amend the Haryana Murrah and Other Milch Animal Breed (Preservation and Development of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development Sector) Act, 2001. According to the amendment, a cess not exceeding 15 paise per litre would be imposed on the licensed capacity of a milk plant provided that during the lean period, the cess at the above rate would be imposed on the 75 per cent of the licensed capacity of the milk plant. Also, no cess would be levied on the days when a milk plant remained closed for the reasons beyond the control of its management. The lean period would mean the period commencing on April 1 and ending on June 30 of every year when the milk production gets reduced due to climatic and biological reasons. The Cabinet observed a two-minute silence to mourn the death of Vice-President Krishna Kant. The Cabinet congratulated the Indian contingent, especially the sportspersons hailing from Haryana, for their historic victory at the recent
Commonwealth Games. It was decided that the medallists hailing from Haryana would be suitably rewarded shortly. |
