Stamp Duty Calculator
Calculate stamp duty and registration charges for Indian states
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Stamp Duty Calculator?
Select your State, gender of the owner, and enter the property value. The tool will instantly show you the estimated Stamp Duty and Registration Fees payable.
What is the 'Circle Rate'?
It is the minimum price set by the government for a piece of land or apartment in a specific area. You cannot register a property below this rate.
Does the calculator include 'Cess' or 'Surcharge'?
Yes. Our tool is updated to include common add-ons like the Metropolitan Transport Cess or Social Infrastructure Surcharge applicable in cities like Mumbai or Noida.
Can I calculate stamp duty for a Rental Agreement?
This tool is for Property Sales. Rental agreements follow a different logic based on 'Average Annual Rent' and security deposits.
Is it better to register property in joint names?
Joint registration with a wife or mother can often save you thousands in stamp duty due to the gender-based rebates offered by states.
How often do these rates change?
State governments usually review and update stamp duty rates during the annual budget or periodically to stimulate the real estate market.
Does the calculator handle 'Rural' vs 'Urban' areas?
Yes. Many states charge ~1% less for properties located outside municipal limits. Our advanced mode has a toggle for this.
What is 'Full Value of Consideration'?
It is the total amount mentioned in the sale deed. Our calculator uses this as the primary input for the duty calculation.
Can I get a refund on stamp duty if the deal is cancelled?
Yes, but the process is tedious and requires an application to the Collector of Stamps within a specific timeframe (usually 6 months).
Is stamp duty calculated on the 'Undivided Share of Land' (UDS)?
In many apartment deals, the duty is split between the UDS value and the construction agreement. Our tool provides a simplified total estimate for your planning.
