Introduction.— In order to encourage investments in various sectors, Government of Goa

has decided to promote Industrial development in the State, not only concentrated in the

coastal and central areas of the State, but also in the backward talukas. In order to encourage

entrepreneurs to set up their units in the industrially backward talukas, the Government of

Goa has modified the earlier “Modified Interest Rebate Scheme-2012” thereby making it more

attractive and is now pleased to launch the new scheme called “Mukhyamantri Modified

Interest Rebate Scheme”.
