How it works
Stamp duty is a state tax paid when you register a property in your name. It is calculated as a percentage of the property value, and the rate can vary by the buyer's gender and by property type. A surcharge (such as a cess) and a separate registration fee may also apply. This tool sums all three into a single indicative total.
Stamp duty vs registration charges
When you buy property in India you usually pay two separate amounts. Stamp duty is the tax that makes your sale deed legally valid, while the registration charge is the fee for recording that deed at the sub-registrar office. Some states also add a cess or surcharge on the property value or on the duty itself. Because every state sets its own rates — and many offer concessions for women buyers — the total can differ sharply from one state to the next, which is exactly what this calculator helps you estimate.
Frequently asked questions
- What is stamp duty?
- Stamp duty is a state government tax paid when property ownership is transferred. It is charged as a percentage of the property value and is required for the sale deed to be legally valid.
- What is the difference between stamp duty and registration charges?
- Stamp duty is the tax on the transaction itself, while the registration charge is the fee paid to officially record the sale deed at the sub-registrar office. Both are usually payable, and some states add a cess or surcharge on top.
- Is stamp duty calculated on the sale price or the circle rate?
- It is charged on whichever is higher — the agreement value in your sale deed or the government-notified circle rate (also called guidance value, Ready Reckoner or DLC rate) for the locality.
- Do women pay less stamp duty?
- Many states give a concession to women buyers — for example a 1–2% lower rate. The exact concession differs by state, so use the calculator or the state page for the applicable figure.
- Are the rates shown here final?
- No. Figures are indicative and change when states revise rates or circle rates. States marked as being verified are not final. Always confirm the exact amount with your local sub-registrar office before paying.
