Stamp Duty Calculator

It is a direct tax paid to the state government to legally validate property documents during registration. Without paying stamp duty, a sale deed has no legal standing in court.

Stamp duty is a state subject under the Indian Constitution, so each state and union territory sets its own rate, and rates can also vary by property type, location (urban/rural) and gender of the buyer.

Many states offer a concession of 1-2% on stamp duty for properties registered solely in a woman’s name, to encourage property ownership among women — this calculator applies it automatically for Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Odisha and Bihar when “Female” is selected.

Usually not — the 1% registration fee is typically charged at the same rate regardless of gender. Gujarat is a notable exception: it fully waives the registration fee for property registered solely in a woman’s name (male or joint ownership is still charged 1%), which this calculator applies automatically when “Female” is selected and Gujarat is chosen.

Stamp duty is generally non-refundable once paid. Some states allow a partial refund if the transaction is cancelled within a specified timeframe, subject to deductions.

State governments revise stamp duty and registration rates periodically, and some rebates apply only to sole ownership (not joint) or up to a property value cap. Use this calculator for estimation, and confirm exact current rates with your local sub-registrar office before a transaction.
