You need to submit an application to the Collector of Stamps with the original stamp paper or e-stamp certificate and proof that the transaction did not take place.

Stamp duty can be paid online through multiple channels: (1) State government portals - most states have dedicated online portals for stamp duty payment, (2) SHCIL e-stamping portal - available across multiple states, (3) Authorized bank branches that facilitate e-stamp certificate generation, and (4) Some states allow payment through internet banking and UPI. You will need property details, buyer and seller information, and the property value to complete the online payment.

Q: How does RERA impact stamp duty and registration charges?

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) does not directly set stamp duty rates, as those are governed by state stamp acts. However, RERA ensures transparency in property transactions by mandating that developers provide clear cost breakdowns including stamp duty and registration charges. Stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the transaction value or the circle rate (government guideline value) . Under RERA, builders must register projects and disclose all costs upfront, helping buyers plan for stamp duty expenses.

Q: Are there any benefits for first-time home buyers on stamp duty?

Several states offer stamp duty concessions for first-time home buyers. For example, some states provide a 1-2% reduction in stamp duty for first-time buyers purchasing properties below a certain value threshold. Additionally, under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act (old tax regime only), stamp duty and registration charges paid for a residential property can be claimed as a deduction up to Rs 1.5 lakh.
