How It Works

Stamp duty and registration charges are state-level taxes you pay on top of the property price when buying a flat, plot, or house. Stamp duty is paid for the legal recognition of the sale deed; the registration charge is for entering the deed in the local sub-registrar's record. Both are calculated as a percentage of the property value and must be paid at the time of registration.

How the calculation works

Stamp Duty = Property Value ร— Stamp Duty Rate รท 100

Registration = min(Property Value ร— Reg Rate รท 100, Cap)

Total Additional Cost = Stamp Duty + Registration

Total Cost = Property Value + Stamp Duty + Registration

Some states (notably Maharashtra) cap the registration charge at a fixed rupee amount โ€” typically โ‚น30,000 โ€” regardless of property value. The calculator applies the cap automatically when the selected state publishes one.

State-wise variation

Each state sets its own rates and revises them with each state budget. Many states publish a lower rate when the property is registered in a female buyer's name (as a policy nudge towards women's property ownership). The savings vary from ~โ‚น50,000 to over โ‚น2 lakh depending on the state and property value โ€” see the rate table below to compare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stamp duty is a state tax levied on the sale deed (the legal document transferring property ownership). It is calculated as a percentage of the property's declared value and is mandatory for the sale deed to be admissible as evidence in court. Registration charge is a separate fee paid for the deed to be recorded at the local sub-registrar's office under the Registration Act, 1908 โ€” this gives the buyer a publicly searchable title. Together they typically add 5%โ€“11% to the property price depending on the state and the buyer's gender.
