<h1>India's SEZ Policy: 50% Land for Processing; Fiscal Benefits Vary by Zone Type, per SEZ Act 2005, Rules 2006.</h1> The Government of India has outlined the land usage policy for Special Economic Zones (SEZs), specifying that at least 50% of an SEZ must be dedicated to processing areas for manufacturing or services. Non-processing zones are designated for other activities like residential, commercial, and infrastructure development. Fiscal benefits for SEZ developers and units vary between processing and non-processing areas, as outlined in the SEZ Act, 2005, and SEZ Rules, 2006. These incentives include concessions, rebates, and exemptions, with processing areas exclusively for unit establishment.
