Frequently Asked Questions

While stamp duty is the money a states charge for transaction of a property’s sale value, the enrollment charge is the cost customers pay for the service of putting a contract or a deed in the government’s records. In simple words, the government maintains a registry of documents in return for money. To a great extent, this process lends inviolability to papers that would otherwise not be legally bound: the Indian Registration Act, 1908, details how enrollment of documents occurs.

According to Property Law, the property buyer has to pay registration fee as well as stamp duty to complete the process of property transfer.

Stamp duty is calculated on many factors – 

• Transaction value
• Circle rate
• Property Location
• Owner Age and gender

• Amenities nearby
