What am I paying for?
Stamp duty is the tax on your purchase deed. The registration fee covers recording it with the sub-registrar. As the buyer, budget for these charges alongside the purchase price when you register the property.
Before you budget in Karnataka
- Women and men pay the same rate in this estimate.
- Choose city for a corporation or municipality, including Greater Bengaluru. Choose rural for a taluk panchayat area.
- Cess and local surcharge are charged on stamp duty. The percentages shown below express each charge as a share of the property value.
- Buying a new flat in Karnataka? You may pay less on its first sale. This estimate does not include that concession; check with the sub-registrar.
- Buying outside city limits? Confirm whether the cess and taluk panchayat surcharge apply to your property with the sub-registrar.
- The registration fee is charged for each Rs 1,000 of value or part of it. This estimate uses a percentage, so the final fee may differ slightly. No upper limit is included.
