Maharashtra Property Registration & Stamp Duty Guide
Understanding Stamp Duty in Maharashtra
A Stamp Duty is a tax levied by the State Government under the Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958, on the execution of property transactions like Sale Deeds, Gift Deeds, and Leave & License Agreements. It serves as legal evidence of the transaction and is mandatory to make the document valid in a court of law.
In Pune, the stamp duty is calculated on the Market Value of the property (as per the Annual Statement of Rates or "Ready Reckoner Rates") OR the Agreement Value, whichever is higher. Incorrect valuation can lead to severe penalties under Section 32A or substantial financial loss due to overpayment.
