About Stamp Duty & Registration Calculator (India)
Stamp duty + registration is the purchase cost everyone underestimates: 5-8% of property value depending on state, payable in cash BEFORE possession and never covered by the home loan. The default ₹60 lakh purchase at 6%+1% costs ₹4.2 lakh — effectively two years of EMI paid on day zero, which is why down-payment planning must include it explicitly. Rates are state policy and move: Maharashtra ~6-7% in metros (incl. cess/surcharges), Delhi 6% (4% for women — the women's concession in several states is worth lakhs and makes sole/first-name registration in a woman's name standard planning), Karnataka ~5.6%, Tamil Nadu 7%+, UP ~7% with caps on the registration slab. The duty applies on the HIGHER of your agreement value or the government's circle/guidance rate — undervaluing on paper doesn't work, and buying BELOW circle rate triggers income-tax on the difference for both parties (Section 56(2)(x)/50C). Recovery and planning: stamp duty + registration qualify under Section 80C (within the ₹1.5 lakh cap, old regime, payment-year only); duty paid is part of your cost of acquisition for future capital gains; e-stamping receipts and timely registration (within 4 months of execution) protect enforceability; and resale buyers should verify the SELLER's chain had proper stamping — deficit stamp duty surfaces with penalties at YOUR registration.

Frequently asked questions
Stamp duty home loan me include ho sakti hai?+
Standard home loan me NAHI — LTV property value par lagta hai, charges par nahi; yeh 5-8% aapki jeb se chahiye. Kuch lenders 'home loan + top-up' ya higher-LTV affordable schemes me partial cover karte hain, par rate/structure dekh kar. Planning rule: down payment = margin money + stamp/registration + 1-2% misc, sab cash.
Mahila ke naam par registry se kitna bachta hai?+
State par: Delhi me 6% → 4% (₹60L par ₹1.2 lakh ki bachat), UP/Haryana/Rajasthan me bhi concessions (kuch me cap/conditions ke saath), Maharashtra me 1% (limited periods/conditions me raha hai). Joint me bhi kai states pro-rata dete hain. Genuine ownership ke saath yeh sabse aasaan ₹50k-1.5L ki legal saving hai — apne state ki current notification dekh lein.
Circle rate se kam me deal hui to kya hota hai?+
Do taraf tax-mar: duty phir bhi circle rate par lagti hai, AUR difference (₹50k+ / 10% se zyada ho to) buyer ke liye 56(2)(x) me 'income' ban jata hai aur seller ke liye 50C me deemed sale-price. Yaani paper par undervalue karne ka koi rasta legal nahi bacha. Genuine distressed deals me valuation-officer reference ka provision hai.
80C me stamp duty claim kaise hoti hai?+
Payment wale financial year me, ₹1.5 lakh ke overall 80C cap ke andar, old regime me — residential property ke liye, possession/completion conditions ke saath. ₹4.2 lakh ke charges me se cap-bhar (aur bacha hua 80C room jitna) hi milega — 30% slab par ~₹45,000 tak ki vasooli. Receipt aur registry papers proof hain; claim usi saal karna hai, carry-forward nahi hota.
