Direct answer

Stamp duty cannot be calculated by property price alone. It depends on the state, document type, property value/guideline value, registration fee, local cess, gender or relationship concession, and official rate updates.

What to check first

1. Identify the document type: sale deed, gift deed, settlement deed, mortgage deed, lease deed or partition deed.
2. Check whether duty is based on market value, guideline value, circle rate, ready reckoner rate or consideration value.
3. Use the calculator only for planning, then verify the final amount on the official portal.
4. Check whether any concession applies due to relationship, gender, property type or government scheme.
5. Keep payment proof and official receipt after payment.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Do not rely only on an unofficial calculator for final payment.
• Do not ignore registration fee and local charges.
• Do not undervalue property to save duty without legal advice.
