Stamp duty, registration charges in Jammu and Kashmir in 2024

Barring agricultural land, one is free to purchase properties in the municipal areas of J&K, even if one is not a domicile of that state. The move follows the withdrawal of J&K’s special status provided under Article 370 of the Constitution on August 5, 2019 and the division of the state into two union territories (UTs) of J&K and Ladakh.

Just like any other Indian state, one is liable to pay stamp duty and registration charges on property purchase to get the asset registered in one’s name. Discussed in this article is the amount you will be paying towards Jammu Kashmir stamp duty and registration charges.

 

Stamp duty and registration charges in Jammu and Kashmir in 2024

Ownership	Stamp duty as percentage of the property value	Registration charge as percentage of the property value
Men	7%	1.2%
Women	3%	1.2%
Man + man	7%	1.2%
Man + woman	5%	1.2%
Woman + woman	3%	1.2%

J&K could be counted among the states where stamp duty and registration charges are comparatively low, especially for women. While 1.2% of the asset value is charged as the registration fee in the UT, this rate is applicable on the registration of sale deeds only. In case the deed type is different, i.e., gift, exchange, relinquishment, etc., the rates vary.

Stamp duty and registration charges for men in J&K in 2024

In May 2018, former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti abolished the 5% stamp duty that was being charged on the purchase of immovable property by women, providing them a complete waiver of this duty. The move was aimed at encouraging ‘families to register their properties in the names of their sisters, daughters, wives and mothers’. Through the same order the stamp duty charges for men was also reduced to 5% from the earlier 7%. However, following the bifurcation of the state into two UTs in 2019, the stamp duty for women in J&K is 3% of the property value and for men it is 7% of the property value.
