Important Rules About Property Registration in India
- Circle Rate vs Agreement Value: Stamp duty is always calculated on whichever is higher: the registered deed consideration or the government circle rate (ready reckoner rate) under Section 47A.
- Tax Deductions Under Section 80C: Up to ₹1,50,000 paid towards stamp duty and registration charges is deductible under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act in the financial year of purchase.
- E-Stamping and SRO Appointments: Most states (such as Delhi, Karnataka, and Maharashtra) mandate online purchase of e-stamp certificates via SHCIL (Stock Holding Corporation) prior to booking an SRO slot.
