Stamp Duty Exemption for Tata Memorial Centre’s Cancer Hospital in Raigad

Tata Memorial Centre is setting up a 100-bed Integrated Ayurvedic Cancer Hospital and Research Centre at Tambati (Taluka Khalapur) in Raigad district. In today’s Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, approval was granted to exempt stamp duty on the lease agreement for the 10-hectare land allotted for this hospital.

The state government has allotted 10 hectares of land at a nominal rent of ₹1 per year. Tata Memorial had requested waiver of stamp duty on the lease deed. The hospital will benefit citizens from rural Raigad as well as nearby towns by providing cancer treatment and healthcare facilities. Out of the 100 beds, 12% will be reserved for patients from poor families, below-poverty-line groups, and government employees. Cancer treatment at concessional rates under government schemes will also be offered. Additionally, one attendant per patient will be provided with affordable accommodation. These conditions were attached while approving the stamp duty exemption.

The Cabinet approved allocation of 2.5 hectares of land at Kasba Karveer, Kolhapur, to Savitribai Phule Women’s Cooperative Industrial Estate Ltd. for establishing a women’s cooperative industrial estate. The meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The organization had requested land for setting up an estate dedicated to women entrepreneurs. This project will encourage women-led entrepreneurship and generate new employment opportunities. Considering the social objective, the land will be allotted without auction, at a rate determined as per the government’s ready reckoner, under Occupancy Class-2. This will be done as per existing policies with certain terms and conditions.

Regularisation of Encroachments at Camp Gavliwada, Vengurla (Sindhudurg District)

The Cabinet has approved the regularisation of long-standing encroachments on government land at Camp Gavliwada, Mouje Vengurla, Sindhudurg district. The meeting was chaired by CM Fadnavis. This decision will provide relief to families who have been residing here for four to five generations.

Encroachments cover a total of 2.93 hectares, involving 42 local residents, excluding one religious structure. These encroachments date back to before 1905 and are reflected in village crop records. Hence, houses, cowsheds, and open spaces up to 1,500 sq. ft. per family will be regularised free of cost. For encroachments exceeding 1,500 sq. ft., landowners will be required to pay 2.5 times the market value as of March 1, 1989, along with applicable interest, as per provisions of the Revenue Department’s order dated April 4, 2002.

Regularisation of 17 Technical Staff in Government Medical Colleges and Hospitals

The Cabinet approved the regularisation of services of 17 employees working on temporary basis in the technical cadre (Group-C) across various government medical colleges and hospitals.

Due to retirements, deaths, and other reasons, several posts had fallen vacant. To address this, candidates with requisite qualifications were temporarily appointed on a 29-day contractual basis through employment exchanges or at local levels. The Cabinet has now approved their regularisation, subject to terms and conditions.
