Notes recorded with this step

Declared gaps that touch this step

• Gap 13: Stamp duty rate composition: the official Garvi calculator help file states 4.9% for Article 20(a) conveyance but does NOT break it into basic duty plus surcharge, and states NO concession for women buyers. Neither the breakdown nor any women's concession is asserted here.
• Gap 14: Garvi stamp duty and registration fee help files carry NO publication or revision date. Their date field is recorded as 'downloaded from garvi.gujarat.gov.in on 2026-08-04' rather than a claimed effective date.
