[ecis2016.org] Here’s everything you need to know about stamp duty and registration charges on property purchases in Gurgaon
Gurgaon (now known as Gurugram) is among the most expensive property markets in India currently. In spite of some correction in the past few years, the average property rates in the Millennium City currently stand at over Rs 5,000 per sq ft. Additionally, there are various other expenses that property buyers have to bear, to legally transfer the asset in their name. The Registration Act, 1908, makes it mandatory for the buyer to register a property, for which property buyers in this region have to pay the Gurgaon stamp duty and registration charges. Since these two levies considerably increase the overall cost of purchase, buyers need to know the expenses they would have to bear for this legal formality.

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.
