Stamp duty is a tax paid on legal documents, including property deeds. It is a state government charge that varies according to the type of property and its location. In Karnataka, the stamp duty rate for apartments is 5.6 per cent of the property value. However, this fee can change, so it is always advisable to double-check with the authorities or consult legal counsel.
After paying the stamp duty, the registration process follows. Registering your property ensures that its ownership is correctly transferred to you and that there are no legal issues in the future. The registration procedure includes submitting the necessary paperwork, such as the sale agreement and identification proof, and paying the registration fee, which is 1 per cent of the property value.
