Stamp duty is a tax that all state governments, including Maharashtra, levy on the transfer of a property where the asset’s ownership moves from the seller to the buyer’s name. As the State government charges this fee, the stamp duty applicable on a property varies from one State to another. The tax you must pay is a set percentage of the registered property’s value, but it also depends on some other factors.
On paying the stamp duty, you get the documents stamped, thus, making them legally valid and approved by the authorities. Apart from this, you must also pay the property registration charges in Maharashtra, over and above the stamp duty, to have the real estate registered in your name.
How Is Stamp Duty In Maharashtra Calculated?
Stamp duty charges can vary based on numerous aspects such as the location of the property, age and gender of the buyer, type of the property, its usage, etc. But usually, the tax depends on the ready reckoner rates and the market price of your property.
Here, the ready reckoner rate, also known as circle rate, is the standard price that the State government sets for accurate valuation of real estate. So, the rate that is highest between the ready reckoner rate and the market value of the property will be considered as the stamp duty.
