Stamp duty calculation example
Depending on the property value you arrive at, you have to calculate the stamp duty, by taking the percentage applicable on you.
If the property value is Rs 50 lakhs, for example and it falls within the municipal limits and is being registered in the name of a male, the applicable stamp duty would be 7% of Rs 50 lakhs. Thus, the buyer will have to pay Rs 3.50 lakhs as stamp duty. Since the transaction value is over Rs 25 lakhs, the buyer will have to pay an additional Rs 15,000 as the registration charges.
If the same property fell outside the municipal limit and was being registered in a woman’s name, the applicable stamp duty would be 3%. Then, the buyer would have to pay Rs 1.50 lakhs as stamp duty. Since the transaction value is over Rs 25 lakhs, the registration charge will be the same.
