Stamp duty calculation:

Factors Affecting Stamp Duty Calculation

Same stamp duty for men and women:

In order to increase the ownership of property in the name of women, the stamp duty is kept low for them. Stamp duty is same for both men and women in MP. There is a difference in the registration fee which is 1% for women and 3% for men.

Stamp duty also depends on the circle rate:

Stamp duty in a state depends on the circle rate of its different state areas. If the circle rate is high in an area, then it is certain that the market price of the property there will also be high. Accordingly, the stamp duty will also be higher there.

Stamp duty according to location:

The location of the property is also one of the factors affecting the stamp duty. There is a difference between the circle rate and the market rate in urban and rural areas. According to that location, stamp duty is applicable on the property.
