What is stamp duty?
For the uninitiated, the stamp duty is a state-determined tax that a home buyer should pay, in order to get the property title converted in his favour. Stamp duty charges vary from state to state since land is a state subject under the Indian Constitution and states have the authority to make rules in this regard.
Stamp duty on property in Agra
Property buyers in Agra have to shell out 7% of the property value as the stamp duty. The Uttar Pradesh government has maintained the rates at this level even though various industry bodies have urged the state to cut charges, in the aftermath of the Coronavirus pandemic. When we say 7% of the property value, we mean that 7% of the registered value of your property has to be paid as the stamp duty. The value of a property is determined based on either the circle rates or the agreement value.
