How Charges are Calculated
Step 1: Determine Duty Base Value
The duty base is calculated as: max(circle_value, declared_price). If your declared price is lower than circle rate, the circle rate value will be used.
Step 2: Calculate Stamp Duty
Stamp Duty = Duty Base Value × Stamp Duty Rate
Step 3: Calculate Registration Fee
Registration Fee = Duty Base Value × Registration Rate
Example Calculation
For a flat worth ₹50 lakhs (circle value), purchased by a male buyer in General area:
- • Duty Base: ₹50,00,000
- • Stamp Duty (6%): ₹3,00,000
- • Registration (1%): ₹50,000
