Karnataka Property Registration Upfront Cost to Go Up

March 6, 2024: Karnataka homebuyers will have to pay higher stamp duty charges during the registration of sale agreements where the property is yet to be delivered. The revenue department has increased the rate to 0.5 percent of the total property value and a minimum fee of Rs 500. This means that if a person purchases a property valued at Rs 1 crore, they will be liable to pay stamp duty charges of Rs 50,000 upfront when signing the sale agreement. This is a significant increase compared to the previous charges of 0.1 percent with a cap of Rs 20,000.

The current stamp duty in Bangalore is 6.6 percent of the property’s market value. The government will adjust the advanced stamp duty against the current one at the time of property registration.

Experts believe that the current hike will not drastically impact the real estate market. However, further increases may hamper the upward market growth.
