The minister further stated that in the coming years, West Bengal is aspiring to be the next IT hub in India, by facilitating the environment for the technological companies through various steps viz., 15 per cent floor area ratio allowed to IT and ITES companies, 100 per cent electric duty waiver, 100 per cent waiver of stamp duty and registration cost and exemption of 50 per cent property tax.
