Stamp duty on the sale deed

Article 20(a) Conveyance - Immovable Property: (a) AGRICULTURAL LAND - 4.9% of the consideration value or the market value, whichever is higher; (b) NON-AGRICULTURAL LAND - 4.9% of the market value.

No timeline is stated for this step in any source examined for this register. Where a statute prescribes a period it is recorded; where it does not, the value is left empty rather than filled with a turnaround time from an unofficial source.

The 4.9% figure is the composite rate the official calculator applies; the source does NOT break it into basic duty plus surcharge, so no breakdown is asserted here. NO WOMEN-BUYER CONCESSION is stated in this official source, so none is recorded. The FAQ adds that if a party is in doubt about the type of document or the stamp duty, the doubt can be resolved by the Stamp Duty Valuation Organisation office in the district.
