What is Stamp Duty?

Stamp duty is also one of the taxes levied by the government on all legal property transactions. Any stamp papers which have to buy either in the name of the seller or buyer is valid for 6 months, provided the stamp duty is paid without any delay. Simply, any document becomes legal only when the payment of stamp duty is done. Any document can be used as evidence in a court of law when the stamp duty payment is done.

Stamp duty charges As mentioned above, the calculation of stamp duty differs from state to state. However, the central government fixes the stamp duty and registration charges of specific instruments. Any delay in the payment will charge a penalty of 2% on a monthly basis.

Stamp duty charges also depend on whether a given property is new or old.

Ways to pay stamp duty You can pay stamp duty in 3 ways. They are: Physical stamp paper: This type of payment is the most traditional way. You need to search for a vendor selling nonjudicial stamp papers which have become tedious these days.

After you have bought, the transaction details can be written or typed on them. If the stamp duty is a high amount, then you might require many stamp papers. This method is not preferred by many these days Franking: In this process, an authorised franking agent will stamp on your document which indicates that you have paid stamp duty. You should approach an authorised bank who will act as a franking agent. After you pay the stamp duty, a franking machine will be used to frank the document with a special adhesive stamp.

Every state will have minimum amount prescribed for franking.

Franking charges vary from place to place and agent to agent.

Usually, they vary from 1% to 10% of the amount worth of the property you buy. This fee might be adjusted against the stamp duty at the time you execute the sale deed.

E-Stamping: This is a method of payment done online, introduced by the government to avoid counterfeit stamp papers and to make stamping easy. Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL) has been appointed as the official vendor for e-stamping and is also the Central Record Keeping Agency for all the estamps that are used in the country. The benefit of e-stamping is the convenience it gives with various payment methods such as debit cards, credit cards, cheque, demand draft and online banking. However, the issue with e-stamping is that a duplicate of your e-stamp will not be issued.

What is a Registration Fee? The registration fee is a fee over and above the stamp duty. Stamp duty and registration charges, both vary from state to state. Once you pay the stamp duty, the document had to be registered under the Indian Registration Act with a sub-registrar. This registrar should belong to the jurisdiction where the property is situated if the transaction involves property purchase.
