Today, many Indians aspire to own property as soon as they start working. However, zeroing in on the right property isn’t easy. Even if you manage to do that, you have to apply for a Home Loan and get the property registered in your name.
Transfer of ownership is a pretty complicated process. It is important for property buyers to know that for ownership transfer, a buyer needs to pay some charges in the form of stamp duty and also for registration.
This will be collected by the respective state governments and is precisely why these charges vary from state to state. Two things that you need to remember – 1) there are a few states that provide discounts to women buyers of the property and 2) most states tend to have different stamp duty charges for their rural and urban areas.
Here, we tell you how the whole process of stamp duty and registration of property works.
Stamp Duty
Stamp duty is similar to other taxes levied by the Government, only here it is collected for transactions that involve legal documents such as the sale deed, conveyance deed, and sale agreement. In technical terms, stamp duty is a tax paid for any document through which any right or liability is, or is intended to be, created, extinguished, transferred, extended or recorded.
Only upon payment of stamp duty, the document (for which stamp duty is paid) becomes legal. Also, only after this can the document be used as evidence in a court of law.
How Is Stamp Duty Calculated?
In India, the calculation of stamp duty differs from state to state. It also depends on the type of document for which stamp duty has to be made.
For example: In Maharashtra, under Schedule I of the Bombay Stamp Act, documents are divided into 3 categories, as below.
Category (i) Here, documents will have a fixed stamp duty and these include divorce, affidavit, adoption deed, memorandum of marriage, power of attorney and indemnity bond.
Category (ii) For documents under this category, the stamp duty will be levied according to the value mentioned in the documents. These include agreement relating to deposit of title deeds, hypothecation, pawn, lease, clearance list, mortgage deed, and article of association.
Category (iii) Under this category, stamp duty will be based on the value stated in the document or the market value, whichever is higher. Documents here include conveyance deed, gift, an agreement for sale, partnership deed, transfer, development agreement and trust.
When Do You Pay Stamp Duty?
You will have to pay stamp duty before or at the time of executing the deed for which the stamp duty has to be paid. So, typically you either pay the stamp duty before the day on which it is executed or on the day when you execute the deed.

How To Pay Stamp Duty
There are 3 ways in which you can pay stamp duty. They are:
- Through physical stamp paper
- Franking
- E-stamping
You must remember that all states will not have all 3 methods. In case all 3 ways are available, you could choose the method that suits you.
-
Purchase Of Physical Stamp Papers:
This is the most traditional way of paying stamp duty. Here, you purchase non-judicial stamp paper from an authorised vendor. Non- judicial stamp paper are papers that have impressed stamps. Once you purchase the stamp paper, the transaction details can be written/typed on them. Finding a vendor selling this type of stamp papers is no easy job. Also, many a time there is a shortage of such paper. If the stamp duty that has to be paid is a high amount, then you might require many stamp papers. So, this method is not preferred by many.
-
E-Stamping
To avoid counterfeit stamp papers and to make stamping easy, the Government introduced e-stamping. In some states, e-stamping is compulsory. E-stamping is essentially stamping done online. Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL), has been appointed as the official vendor for e-stamping and is also the Central Record Keeping Agency for all the e-stamps that are used in the country.
In order to do e-stamping, you have to visit the SHCIL website. Choose your state to see if e-stamping is allowed. You will get information on the transactions that you must e-stamp and the list of collection centres that will issue certificates to those who e-stamp. Fill up the application form and give it to the collection centre along with the money for the stamp duty.
There are several ways you can pay such as through Debit Cards, Credit Cards, cheque, demand drafts and online banking. Once you pay the stamp duty, you will get the e-stamp certificate. This certificate will come with a unique certificate number (UIN) that will have the issue date.
The benefit of e-stamping is that it is convenient. Another benefit is that the authenticity of your e-stamp can be verified online using the UID number. However, the issue with e-stamping is that a duplicate of your e-Stamp will not be issued.
-
Franking:
This is a process where an authorised franking agent will put a stamp on your document indicating that the stamp duty has been paid. Before you execute the transaction for which stamp duty has to be paid (typically this will be before signing on the document), you should approach an authorised bank who will act as a franking agent, or a franking agent to deposit the stamp duty. Once you pay the stamp duty, a franking machine will be used to frank the document with a special adhesive stamp.
Every state will have a minimum amount prescribed for franking. For instance, minimum franking charges in Bengaluru are pegged at 0.1% of the agreement value. So, if you are buying a house for Rs. 50 lakhs, you need to pay 0.1% or Rs. 5,000 as charges for franking.
This fee will, however, be adjusted against the stamp duty at the time you execute the sale deed. Say, if the stamp duty for the sale deed is 5.5%, then, you need to pay only 5.4% because you already paid a franking charge of 0.1%.
Registration Of Documents
Once you pay the stamp duty, the document has to be registered under the Indian Registration Act with a sub-registrar. This registrar should be of the jurisdiction where the property is situated if the transaction involves property purchase.
The basic purpose of registration is to record the execution of the document. Only when you register the document, it becomes legal and the ownership, if any, is transferred to the right owner.
Registration Fee
The registration fee is a fee that is over and above the stamp duty. This fee varies from state to state. For example, the registration fee in Karnataka is pegged at 1% of the value of the transaction.

Registration Procedure
There are many documents that you need to register a transaction. Here are the documents required at the time of registration for a property purchase in Karnataka:
Please Note: The documents might vary from state to state.
- Proof of identity such as passport, driving license and PAN card, for both the buyer and the seller.
- The original sale deed along with two photocopies of the original. The document should have print or writing on only one side. This must be given to the officer at the registrar’s office.
- Proof of payment of registration fee.
- Proof of stamp duty paid.
- Proof of payment made to the seller.
- Tax certificate, if it is a second-hand property.
- Khata certificate.
There are some cases where you need to intimate the registration office of property transactions. This is specific to the state of Maharashtra. This will be applicable to those who take a Home Loan for the purchase of a property. In this case, you will be mortgaging the “title deeds” to a lender. It is now obligatory that the state registration office is informed about all mortgage details within 30 days of a mortgage being executed. This is under the Registration (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 2010. This act came into force on 1st April 2013. This act is an amendment to the Indian Registration Act, 1908. The following process has to be followed:
- a) If an agreement is signed between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee, it has to be compulsorily registered. This is applicable in case of mortgages that are done by way of deposit of title deed. This is for those that have been done on 1st April 2013 and thereafter. The usual time limit for registration is four months from the date of execution.
- b) In case the agreement is not signed, then the mortgagor has to file a notice of intimation. This intimation has to be filed within 30 days from the mortgage.
- c) If the agreement has been signed and registered, then you needn’t file the intimation.
- d) Any person who does not file such notice within the prescribed time limit will be liable to be punished.
In simple words, the notice of intimation will be filed only when an agreement between the lender and the loan applicant has not been registered. This intimation notice has to be sent within 30 days of purchasing the property.
The main aim of this amendment is to safeguard the interests of lenders and the society at large. This will also help prevent the practice of people procuring loans from multiple lenders for the same property. This can also check if someone is trying to sell a property that is already under mortgage.
How To File The Notice
You can file the notice of intimation using an online application known as the “e-registration module”. This was launched by the Department of Registration & Stamps. You have to access the website www.igrmaharashtra.gov.in. Fill in the application form online and submit it. This is totally online. So, you don’t have to go to the office of the sub-registrar. This has been prescribed by the Maharashtra e-Registration and e-Filing Rules 2013.
Now that you know the whole process, it should be easy for you to register that house you are planning to buy. And this might be the right time to buy that house as loan rates have dropped. Always compare across lenders to get the best rates.

I want to Know whether stamp duty paid on agreement to sell Rs.20000/- can be deducted from the Stamp duty payable at the time of registration of property in Bangalore.
Hi Vijay,
Generally stamp duty is not required on agreement to sell and it can be done on a hundred Rupees stamp paper. However, where the agreement to sell is coupled with possession or agrees to give possession, then stamp duty is required to be paid. The stamp duty paid on agreement to sell is adjustable at the time of conveyance/registration of property.

What is MODT Charges ? do we need to pay to the government ?
Hi Shivugowda,
Memorandum for deposit of title deed or MODT is applicable for all home loan borrowers. It is essentially an undertaking given by you that you are depositing the title documents of the property with the bank at your own free will in return for a loan. For some banks, apart from the loan agreement, the undertaking needs to be registered and the government levies a stamp duty towards registration charges. Stamp duty charges vary from one state to the other, but on an average, charges of 0.1 percent to 0.2 percent of the Home Loan amount apply. Hope this helps.

my father had purchased a flat in 1988 at kalyan , maharashtra , so in sale deed why does not disclosed stamp duty?
is the stamp duty exists in that period? if exists , how it was ? and how do we calculated it?
Hi Sunil,
Stamp duty was introduced way back in 1899 by the British. Stamp duty is calculated based on the value of the asset mentioned in the document. For properties, this is mostly the market value. It may not be possible for us to ascertain the percentage duty that was prevailing in 1988. You could contact your legal counsel for help with this.

Hi, I have a flat under a group housing society in noida extension. Builder gave us possession wiith a valid – part completion certificate from greater noida authority. With taking possession of flat the registration of flat (after paying etamp duty) is also completed with noida authority. I have registration document of flat now on my name. There is also a home loan on the said property with axis bank.
Now my query is that I am trying to resale this property. And the buyer is taking a home loan for 80% payment. He got pre approval loan from india bulls. Can his bank raise any issue on part completion certificate when granting loan? Whereas I have all registration documents on my name with me. And my bank does not have any objection as well.
Hi Karan,
Banks generally do not ask for a completion certificate if the house is occupied. For further clarification of any doubts you may have, we suggest that you get in touch with your legal advisor.

I am purchasing a builder floor in faridabad. The seller’s property is under the loan and i am taking 80% bank loan from the same bank where the seller had taken. I had paid 10% amount to the seller. I have registered the property in court but i did not get any registration slip of the registry. Dealer told me that you will get the registration slip soon. My query is that now seller is asked me to pay the rest amount. Is there any risk to pay the rest amount to the seller without receiving the registration slip ?
Hi Neha,
The registration of a property needs done at the registrar office. It should be done on stamp paper where the property is transfered to your name. Could you elaborate on why the property was registered in court?

we had bought flat in a society in Mumbai on Feb1984 and had duly got it registered.At that time stamp duty was not applicable. All the members except 2 flat owners in the society had similarly done so. We have received back our original documents from the authorities. Our builder had submitted the conveyance deed to the authorities but the conveyance was not done since he had not submitted some documents. Now we are asked by the authorities to pay a hefty amount towards conveyancing. Is it to be borne by all members or by the 2 flat owners who did not register their flat?

I have a pre sanction loan from bank at 80% of property value. now i had searched property in Mumbai suburb area @cost of 67.95lac. paid Rs. 101,000/- as a booking confirmation (construction not yet started) builder asking for 30% DP booking amount now than 8% on Vacant, than 6% on basement, than 6% on Plinth……
my bank person asking to register property to avail 80% share to booking amount (which is 30% of property value).
my question is, how can i pay stamp duty/ on which amount to pay stamp duty ? since the full payment of property not yet done ?, what should i register ? in this case what bank actually need to provide me finance ?
second thing, i knows about 5% stamp duty and registration fee. what is this TDS, ST & MVAT ? all this should i hv to pay now to avail loan from bank.
please help me to understand all this thing, i m too much confused.
Hi Solanki,
The registration of the property is usually dome only after the bank has disbursed the total amount to the builder. Registration is based on the total value of the property but might vary from state to state. TDS, ST and VAT are applicable for under construction properties. You need to pay these to purchase the property.

Hi,
I need to register a property in South Delhi within 10 days. I’ve already availed home loan and managed remaining amount.
As I read in article, we can make payment using Debit or Credit card. Request your support in understanding this process and help in executing the same.
Also, understanding challenges and risk associated with this will also help.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Tushar
Hi Tushar Gupta,
As mentioned in the article, you can use the Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited website to e-stamp your purchase. The only risk here is that you will not get a duplicate of the e-stamp. You can use the Unique ID given during the process to retrieve your e-stamp.

I m planning to buy under construction property in Mumbai.
Just want to know that who will pay below charges to the government, buyer or builder ?
Stamp Duty, Registration Charges, Service Tax & VAT. All this paid by buyer only ???
Or stamp duty & registration only have to pay by buyer. Please guide.
Hi Solanki,
All the charges have to be borne by the buyer. If you think your builder is charging you out of turn, get in touch with your legal counsel at the earliest.

Respected Sir/ Madam,
I want to sell my property to my brother. But the buyer (brother) is not willing to pay for stamp and registration fees. He is telling that he will deduct the money from the set forth value which he will give me. I don’t want that. What to do? And how to sell the property to him?
Hi Sameer,
Try to convince your brother with the help of your legal counsel. If he understands that it’s the right thing to do from a legal perspective, there’s every chance he might change his mind.

Hello,
I need to pay 0.1% stamp duty (on sale consideration) for registering sale agreement in Bengaluru.
Can you pl. let me know , is it required both seller & buyer are required (physically) at the time of payment of stamp duty & registering Sale agreement at Register office OR can we delegate to third Party to get the stamp duty on sale agreement ?
Hi Dhinakar,
The buyer and seller need to be present when registering a property document. For more clarity, we suggest that you get the help of your legal counsel.

A registration fee is applicable on all property transactions. It doesn’t matter whether it is new or up for resale. Since it is being registered in another name, the fees will be applicable. Thanks alot for sharing the blog it is very informative and helpful too.

I have a flat in Bombay and found a buyer. The buyer will be obtaining a loan. Now that the MOU is done, is it correct that these are the next steps?
Purchase and sale agreement to be signed
NOC to be obtained and transfer fees paid to society
Buyer is approved for loan and provides letter of approval to seller
Buyer has to pay 20% of the total agreement value prior to registration.
Registration takes place
Loan proceeds will follow in the sellers account
Are these steps accurate or am I missing something? Is it general practice to do registration prior to obtaining the loan proceeds? Thanks for your response
Hi Ami, It is generally true that the registration is done before the loan is granted. However, there might be circumstances where this may not be the case. The steps for a property sale will differ from one transaction to another. We suggest that you take the help of your legal counsel to clarify.
i have purchased plot of land jointly with the flat scheme owner, i already paid stamp duty on half of the value of undivided share of plot.

Hi , my seller is got a 11,00,000 balance loan in Bank A , i am taking loan from Bank B , me and Bank B are giving a DD and cheque to close the loan in Bank A , before closing the loan in Bank A , Bank B is telling me to register the property before proceeding to the closure of balance loan at Bank A – both events on the same day , but the seller is not agreeing to the same and is insisting on paying the banl loan first and then register , whats your suggestion
Hi Roshni,
The bank is right in asking you to register the home before settling the seller’s loan. Even with a new home, the registration has to be done before the total loan is disbursed. If you have any issues, we suggest that you contact your legal counsel for further assistance.

thanks mam for the article. I need an advice from you. We purchased a flat, near Electronic city and got it registered after paying all the charges in 2010 itself. Now, after so many years, I went for taking EC from Chandapura, bangalore sub registrar office, In the EC, they have annexed one sheet where they are showing pending stamp duty payment liability of Rs 4.4 Lakh, via some notice issued in 2013, where as duty was fully paid, for the flat cost at that time, and moreover this notice was never recd by us. Infact, nos of other flat owners have also got different values in EC. I had paid Rs 109160 as duty by DD for flat registered value Rs 12.84. Can you please help and guide us ??
Hi Sanjiv Anand,
We suggest that you check if this is is property tax or stamp duty charges. If it is stamp duty, it is best for you to get legal help to sort this out. You can include the seller in the discussion for better clarity.

Hi SUNIL CHANDARANA,
If the co-applicant, in this case, your wife will be financially contributing towards the Home Loan, then she will have to produce her PAN card as an ID proof at the time of registration. But, if not, she can show any other valid ID proof.

I have purchased my flat (resale) and paid stampduty and registration charges on 31.03.2010.
Purchased flat higher than market value. Hence Stampduty and registration was paid as per following:
Stampduty = 3.69% of purchase value (E stamping was done on my agreement)
Registration fee = 1% of purchase value.
I have legal receipts of the above.
Now, my society has applied for deem conveyance (building is 28 years old) of the society land (which is under builder’s name). but during deem conveyance process they appointed CA and CA has checked details with registrar office. They found that, few members including me have paid stampduty less and there was some mismatch/error during stampduty calculation. society have received demand notice to pay additional 1% of purchase value (don’t Know how they arrived this value) to us.
My queries are,
1. Do I need to pay additional 1% of purchase value as stampduty ? because my agreement is already registered.
2. Legally who should pay this additional 1%? me or society ?
3. Since the conveyance matter is land for the society, can I negotiate with society to use society fund?
4. If we do not agree to pay additional 1% of stampduty, what will be the consequences ?
5. If we do not agree to pay additional 1% of stampduty, will the conveyance deed will occur?
6. Why Registrar has done the registration if we have paid less stampduty in 2010?

I got retired in 2016 & with my retirement money, I booked a under construction flat.
The flat is expected to be ready in the month of November of 2018.
Since, I am self financed, I plan to register my flat in the month of November of 2018, but the builder is asking me to register the flat.
Will there be any problems from RERA side or from any side, if register my flat as late as possible.
Hi sandip,
Typically, an agreement to sell is signed and the final registration is done later for under-construction flats. If you are planning to register later, it might be best to hold on to your chunk of the payment until the flat is ready. For better clarity, please get in touch with your legal counsel.

I have recently purchased a property of Rs 4860000. I have applied for home loan. Now the bank is telling that TDS of 1% will be applicable as the price of the property with Stamp duty charges and registration charges will make it more than Rs 50 lac. Bank is saying that as they are funding for the Stamp duty as well they will add the same and the total amount will be considered as value of the property. but according to me the value of the property is the amount on which registry is being done and the same is less than Rs 50 lac so TDS is not applicable. Further the stamp duty charges will go to the Govt and not the seller. Please help if I am right or the bank.
Hi Daipayan Chowdhury,
As far as we know, stamp duty, registration fees or transfer fees will not be regarded as sale consideration. So, no TDS should apply. We suggest that you get in touch with your legal counsel for help.

or is it necessary to get it registered from Goa only?
Thanks in Advance.
Hi Vaibhav, Usually the agreement gets registered at the property location, which would be Goa in your case (provided both parties to the agreement agree on it). This is primarily for jurisdiction purposes in case a legal dispute arises in the future. You can always negotiate on these terms, however, with the seller. Cheers, Team BankBazaar.

Hello Mam,
I am selling my flat and the buyer wants to take a loan to pay the same to me. But the bank needs to get the flat register in the name of the buyer first and then gives the loan. but the once the flat is registered in the name of the buyer if the buyer decides to cheat me then? how can we make sure that i get my money ?
Hi Ashok, Even if the flat is registered, it will be hypothecated to the bank until the buyer repays the loan. The bank will be responsible for providing you with the money. To be safe, you will need to enter into an agreement with the bank and the buyer before registration. We suggest that you get in touch with your legal counsel for further assistance. Cheers, Team BankBazaar
Hi Kavya,
Nice information.
Transfer of ownership is a quite difficult process. It is necessary for property buyers to understand that for ownership transfer, a property buyer has to pay some amount in the form of both stamp duty and registration. Later, it will be collected by the particular state governments and these charges vary from state to state because it is based on the type of document for which stamp duty has to be made.
Unless and until you finish payment of stamp duty, the document (for which stamp duty is paid) becomes illegal, once you finish the payment it will be considered as legal. There are many categories of stamp duty and you can pay it through physical stamp paper, Franking, E-stamping.
Nice to read your article.. Helpful information.

Bank can accept such cases transfer deed ?

Hi Flavy,
A mortgage by deposit of title deed does not require registration. We suggest that you check this with your legal counsel.

Hello Sir,
I am going to buy an individual home in Lucknow UP, below are my few doubts. hope you will clarify.
1. I would like to register home with my Mothers name (Housewife) and I want to do payment, is it possible?
2. what are the registration and stamp duty charges.
3. What document I should ask from Seller.
Thanks
Hi Asim Ali,
It’s possible to register the house in your mother’s and wife’s name if you are not going for a Home Loan. Registration and stamp duty charges will differ from one district to another within a state. We suggest that you check these details befreo you register the property. You will need the original property documents from the seller and bills for municipal taxes paid. It’s better that you consult a legal counsel for clarity on the documents that you will need from the seller.

Hi,
I am going to purchase an old property. The property having all documents excluding agreement stamp receipt.
Can you please advise me importance of agreement stamp receipt.
Hi Piyush,
To ensure that the property is registered in the name of the seller, you have to check the stamp paper and see that stamp duty charges have been paid.

I have purchased a commercial property in my wife and my name about 4 years ago. Now we want to add our son’s name as a co-owner in the property. I have prepared a Affidavit cum NOC from me and my wife for adding my son’s name in the property and the share certificate. Do we need to go through stamp duty and registration again ? Or is the affidavit cum NOC enough ?
Hi Zoeb,
Thanks for writing to us. You will have to include your son’s name in a sale deed and get it registered. We suggest that you get in touch with your legal counsel for the details. We hope this helps!

Hi,
I have paid 0.1 % stamp duty for a assignment agreement registration. Now I need to register and create sale deed for the same. Can this assignment agreement stamp duty be considered and can be reduced in sale deed stamp duty at the time of registration.
Now I need to pay 6.6 % stamp duty (sale deed). I paid 0.1 % for assignment agreement.
Can I pay 6.5 % stamp duty at the time of sale deed registration.
City: Bangalore
Please help.
Hi Girdhari,
You will still need to pay 6.6% for the sale deed stamp duty registration.
