Overview: Maharashtra tourism subsidy application process
Applying for hotel subsidies and tourism FSI under MTP 2024 requires coordination with the Directorate of Tourism and your local planning authority. Contact Hotel Subsidy Solutions first — we manage the sequence from stamp duty NOC prior to land purchase, then DoT NOC, building sanction, and PRC registration.
Step 1: Contact Us & Eligibility Review
Contact Hotel Subsidy Solutions. We assess your hotel project, zone classification, and MTP 2024 eligibility — then manage the full application sequence on your behalf.
Step 2: Stamp Duty NOC (prior to land purchase)
Obtain stamp duty NOC from the Directorate of Tourism before you purchase or register land. Exemption is 50% (Zone A), 75% (Zone B), or 100% (Zone C & STZ). This comes before the DoT NOC for FSI — never buy land without the stamp duty NOC in place.
Step 3: Land purchase or lease
With the stamp duty NOC in place, complete your land purchase, lease, or registration. The exemption applies to sale deeds, lease deeds, and mortgage instruments executed during the policy period.
Step 4: Directorate of Tourism NOC (for FSI)
After land is secured, obtain the DoT NOC for tourism FSI. Planning authorities will not grant building sanction without this NOC.
Step 5: Building Sanction & Tourism FSI
Submit development proposal to the local planning authority with the DoT NOC. Building sanction includes additional tourism FSI per road width and applicable premium concessions.
Step 6: Provisional Registration (PRC)
PRC from the Directorate of Tourism is issued after building sanction is granted. We file via the MAITRI portal with sanctioned plans, DPR, and land documents to lock in MTP 2024 benefits.
Step 7: Commercial Operations & Incentive Claims
After COD, obtain Final Registration Certificate from DoT. File annual claims for capital subsidy, SGST reimbursement, electricity duty exemption, and interest subvention.

- Detailed Project Report (DPR) with cost breakdown and employment projections
