How are Stamp Duty and Registration Charges Calculated?

Stamp duty and registration charges depend on the market value of the property or the consideration value (whichever is higher). The stamp duty rate varies by location and property type. Generally, stamp duty is calculated as a percentage of the property value.

• Stamp Duty = Market Value of Property × Stamp Duty Rate
• Registration Charges = Market Value of Property × Registration Rate

Example Calculation

Mr. Sharma plans to buy a residential property. He needs to calculate the total stamp duty and registration charges payable to complete the transaction.

1. Stamp Duty for Men : 6.3% of the Market Value (not the agreement value).
2. Registration Charges : 2.1% of the Market Value.

Calculation Table

Component	Calculation	Amount (₹)
Market Value	As per government assessment	50,00,000
Stamp Duty	6.3% of ₹50,00,000	3,15,000
Registration Charges	2.1% of ₹50,00,000	1,05,000
Total Cost	Stamp Duty + Registration Charges	4,20,000
