Formula (simplified)

Stamp duty = property value × stamp duty rate %. Registration charge = property value × registration rate % (often capped at a fixed amount in some states — not modeled here). Rates vary significantly by state and sometimes by gender of the buyer.

Illustrative estimate only — tax rules change frequently and vary by jurisdiction/circumstance. Verify with an accountant or official source before relying on this.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays stamp duty — the buyer or the seller?

In most Indian states, the buyer pays stamp duty and registration charges, not the seller.

Why do stamp duty rates vary so much by state?

Stamp duty is a state subject in India, so each state government sets its own rate, and some offer concessions (for example, lower rates for women buyers) or caps on registration charges.

Is stamp duty eligible for a tax deduction?

Yes, stamp duty and registration charges on a residential property purchase are eligible for a deduction under Section 80C, within the overall ₹1,50,000 limit, in the year of purchase.
