Identifying what fees that go beyond the property value is crucial when buying a property in Ahmedabad. The two most important charges are stamp duty and registration fees, both of which are set by the government to safeguard and legalize your property ownership.
In this blog, we break down everything you need to know about registration fees in Ahmedabad and stamp duty on property in Ahmedabad, and how these charges play a role, whether you’re investing in a Goyal commercial property or a luxury 3 & 4 BHK residence.
What Are Stamp Duty and Registration Fees?
Stamp duty is a state government tax levied on property transactions. It legally confirms the transfer of ownership and is calculated as a percentage of either the property’s market value or the transaction value, whichever is higher.
Registration fees, on the other hand, are charges for officially recording the sale deed with the local sub-registrar office, making your ownership legally valid and enforceable.
Example Calculation:
- Property Value: Rs. 50,00,000
- Stamp Duty (3.5%): Rs. 1,75,000
- Surcharge (1.4%): Rs. 70,000
- Total Stamp Duty: Rs.1,75,000 + Rs.70,000 = Rs.2,45,000
- Registration Charges (1%): Rs. 50,000
Total Amount Payable: Rs.2,45,000 (Stamp Duty + Surcharge) + Rs.50,000 (Registration Charges) = Rs.2,95,000
