Stamp duty in Patna
Unlike other states where women pay less, buyers have to pay 6% of the property value as stamp duty in Patna.
| Stamp duty as percentage of the property’s cost | Registration under |
| 6% | Male name |
| 6% | Female name |
| 6% | Joint |
Discounts are offered to women buyers, depending on who the parties involved in the transaction are. For example, if a man sells his property to a woman, the woman buyer gets a rebate of 0.40% on stamp duty. This means if, say, Lakhan sells his land to Lata, the latter will pay only 5.60% as stamp duty.
However, in the opposite scenario, the buyer will have to pay 0.40% additional stamp duty. This means if a man buys a property from a woman, the former will pay 6.40% of the property cost as stamp duty.
In case both the parties are women, the standard stamp duty charge will be levied.
