Legal Documentations In The Purchase Of A Property Are

Stamp Duty: Stamp duty is the transaction tax charged by the revenue department that is levied on the buyer of the property. It is compulsory to pay the stamp duty in totality for owning a property.

Stamp duty is calculated as Rs. 7600 up to Rs. 5 lacs and at the rate of 5% over and above Rs. 5 lacs for the agreement amount or the market value whichever is higher (Mumbai and Mira Bhayander).

For instance
Let, Market value of a property = Rs.40 lacs
Agreement value = Rs.50 lacs
Then,
Stamp duty = 5% of 50 lacs = 2,50,000

In the above case stamp duty was calculated on the agreement value as it was greater than the market value.

Registration: The transaction document on which stamp duty is carried out has to be registered from the sub registrar for complete ownership of the property.

Registration amount is calculated as 1% of the agreement value or market value whichever is higher. If this value exceeds Rs.30000 the registration amount is Rs.30000.

Note: There may be variance in these charges based on the location under consideration.
