Stamp Duty Charges & Online Payment Procedure In Mumbai, Maharashtra

Stamp Duty is a one-time property tax that needs to be paid while buying a property. It is levied by the state government when a property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. 

In more technical terms, Stamp duty is a state levy imposed on the agreement document executed between the seller and the buyer which is registered at the registrar. 

The stamp duty is payable under the Indian Stamp Act 1899, but the responsibility for setting up the stamp duty is shared between the Central and State Governments. Therefore, the stamp duty charges in Mumbai are payable under the Maharashtra Stamp Act 1958 and are governed by the state government. 

Since stamp duty is one of the important legal aspects of the property buying process it is beneficial to have detailed information.

Why Stamp Duty Is Important?

The stamp duty is applicable in all types of property transactions whether it be residential, commercial, or land. 

The Stamp duty is important in the real estate translation because-

  • Only after paying the stamp duty, you become a legal owner of the property. 
  • The receipt of acknowledgment of the stamp duty is considered as proof of ownership. 
  • The stamp duty rates influence your overall buying budget. 

Factors Affecting Stamp Duty Charges

The stamp duty is a one-time charge paid during the real estate transaction. Stamp duty depends on the various factors such as-

  • The Market Value Of The Property
  • Location
  • Gender Of The Buyer

The Market Value Of The Property

The stamp duty is always charged as a percentage of the market value of the property. In Mumbai, the stamp duty charges are 5% of the market value of the property. 

For instance, If the Market Value Of the property is 1crore, then the stamp duty charged in the case will be Rs. 5 Lakh. 

However, if the agreement value is more than that of the market value, in such cases the stamp duty will be charged on the agreement value. We will have an example covering how exactly the stamp duty charges are applied. 

Remember, the Market Value is the price at which the home can be sold in the open market under normal conditions. It is the standard price at which the buyer is willing to accept considering all the important factors. To calculate the market Value a Ready Reckoner Rate (RRR) is used which is published by the state government. It varies from one location to the other, and no transaction takes place below this mark.

Location

Location is one of the important factors that decide the exact percent of the market value charged as stamp duty. Depending on the jurisdiction of the location the stamp duty varies. In Mumbai,  there are different stamp duty charges for the localities within the municipal limits, areas within MMRDA, and within gram panchayat limits. 

The registration charges in all the localities are 1% of the market value of the property.

Locality Stamp Duty Charges
Inside Municipal Limits6% Of Market Value of the Property
Within MMRDA4% Of Market Value of the Property
Gram Panchayats3% Of Market Value of the Property

Gender Of the Buyer

Most of them charge less percentage of Stamp Duty if the property is owned by a female.  The intention is to promote the security of independent women.  For example, in Mumbai, the stamp duty charges for women are 1%  lesser than that for male property buyers. 

 For MaleFor Female
Stamp Duty Charges In Mumbai5% Of the Market Value 4% Of the Market Value

Some states even have more than a 1% discount on stamp duty charges for women.

Registration Charges In Mumbai:

Stamp Duty and Registration charges are different. But both can be paid online at one time.

Registration charges depend on the market value of the property. And calculated as a percentage of the market value of the property.

Property TypeRegistration Charges
For Properties With the Market Value More than 30LakhRs30,000
For Properties With the Market Value Less than 30Lakh1% of The Market Value of the Property

How Stamp Duty Charges are Calculated?

Market value is the base for calculating the Stamp Duty Charges. 

And to calculate the market value we need to consider the official Ready Reckoner Rate (RRR)

So, consider this example:

LocationAndheri
Unit1 BHK
Area600 sq ft
Rate2300 per sq ft

So the market value will be: 

Market Value:  550 X 23000 =  Rs. 1,26,50000

This is the minimum selling price. If the deal is closed for let say Rs. 1,50,00000. 

Then, The the agreement value = Rs. 1,50,0000

Now the Stamp Duty is charged on the basis of Market Value or Agreement Value whichever is higher. 

In this case, the agreement value is more. Therefore:

Stamp Duty: 5 % of Agreement Value = 5 % Of 1,50,0000 = Rs. 750000

Registration Charges: Rs. 30000 (As the market value is more than 30 Lakh)

SpecificationsStamp Duty Charges For MaleStamp Duty Charges
For Female
Location: Andheri

Rate: 2300/ Sq Ft

Unit: 1 BHK

Market Value: 1,26,50000

Agreement value: 1,50,00000
5% of Agreement Value

= 750000
4% of Agreement Value

= 600000

When To Pay The Stamp Duty? 

After the sales deed is processed, the stamp duty must be paid by the buyer. 

Thus, the stamp duty can be paid-

  • Before the execution of the document
  • At the time of executing the document
  • And can’t be paid after the execution of the document. However, there is a provision in the Maharashtra Stamp Act that permits the stamp duty payable on the next working day after the execution. 

Execution means the signature of both parties on the document. 

What If You Don’t Pay Stamp Duty?

 If you fail to pay the stamp duty during the document execution period, you are penalized with 2% of the stamp duty monthly. This can go up to 200% of the original stamp duty. 

Moreover, you are not the legal owner of the property unless you have the receipt of acknowledgment of the stamp duty payment. 

Therefore, it is recommended to pay the stamp duty during the execution of the agreements. 

Ways for Paying The Stamp Duty

There are three different ways to pay the stamp duty. 

Physical Stamp Paper: 

This is the most common offline method of paying the stamp duty. For this, you need to buy the stamp paper of an equal amount of applicable stamp duty from an authorized stamp vendor. All the agreement-related information is mentioned o the stamp paper. 

Franking: 

Various banks provide franking services to buyers. The important details of the property are mentioned on the document along with the applicable stamp duty. After the submission of this document to the bank, it gives an adhesive stamp on the document with a franking machine. 

Online Payment Of Stamp Duty: 

The most reliable and transparent way of paying the stamp duty is through e-stamping portals. In this, the buyer and seller can digitally sign the documents. Moreover, they can get it stamped on the same day.
