Law 3 of 7 · 3 steps rest on it

The Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958

The law that decides how much duty is paid on a transfer and, more importantly, on what value. It is the reason the jantri matters: duty on non-agricultural land is charged on market value whatever figure the parties write into the deed, so the government's own rate table sets the floor.

The steps it decides

Step 10 · stage 1, checks before you pay
Check the jantri rate. Fixes the government valuation floor on which stamp duty is charged.
Step 16 · stage 4, sale deed and registration
Drafting the sale deed. Gets the document into a form the Sub-Registrar will accept.
Step 17 · stage 4, sale deed and registration
Stamp duty on the sale deed. Discharges the stamp duty liability on the transfer.
