The Karnataka assembly, on September 20, 2021, passed an amendment to the Stamp Act, 1957, under which the state has cut stamp duty on properties priced between Rs 35 lakhs and Rs 45 lakhs to 3% from the earlier 5%. The reduced rates are applicable only on registration of new properties. The Karnataka government had announced the decision to cut the stamp duty on July 22, 2021. In 2019, the stamp duty was rationalised from 5% to 2%, for properties of up to Rs 20 lakhs.
