What Value It Is Charged On
Duty is charged on the market value fixed by the government for that area or the price in your sale deed, whichever is higher. If your deal is below the market value, you still pay on the market value.
Worked Example

|---|---|---|
| Sale deed value (flat in GHMC limits) | ₹1,00,00,000 | |
| Stamp duty | 5.5% | ₹5,50,000 |
| Transfer duty | 1.5% | ₹1,50,000 |
| Registration fee | 0.5% | ₹50,000 |
| Total at registration | 7.5% | ₹7,50,000 |
Tips Before You Budget
- Check the market value of the exact property on the Registration and Stamps Department website before you agree a price.
- Ask the builder whether the sale deed will be registered on the full value or only on the land share and construction agreement, as the duty changes with it.
- Confirm the final amount with the Sub-Registrar office or your lawyer before registration day.
- Keep the challan and the registered document; you need them for a home loan and for mutation in municipal records.
- In DaamDost, the stamp duty line under the Grand Total uses 7.5% by default. It is approximate and editable: set it to the rate and value your Sub-Registrar office confirms.
