AP stamps and registration: Calculation of stamp duty

We show with an example, how you can calculate stamp duty for IGRS AP deed details. If a home buyer Ram is purchasing a flat for Rs 70 lakh, then the applicable stamp duty is five percent and registration charge is 1 percent.  Also, applicable will be a transfer duty fee of 1.5%

So, Ram will pay stamp duty of 70,00,000 * 5/100= Rs 3,50,000 lakh.

Registration charge for AP deed details will be = Rs 70, 00,000*1/100= Rs 70,000

Transfer duty fee for AP deed details will be = Rs 70,00000*1.5/100 = Rs 1,05,000

Thus, Ram will have to pay a total AP stamps and registration cost of Rs 5,25,000 or Rs 5.25 lakh.

 

Taking into consideration all these charges, the total cost of the property purchased by Ram is

Rs 70 lakh + Rs 5.25 lakh = Rs 75.25 lakh.
