Charges are always calculated on the higher of the Sale Value or the Government Circle Rate to prevent revenue leakage.

How to Save on Stamp Duty
Women Beneficiaries
In Gujarat, registering a property solely in a female's name provides a full 1% exemption on the registration fee (while stamp duty remains 4.9%). Other states like Delhi and Maharashtra offer a 1% stamp duty concession.
Joint Registration (Male + Female)
According to standard guidelines, joint ownership involving at least one male generally does not qualify for female concessions. Standard rates (e.g., 4.9% stamp duty and 1% registration fee in Gujarat) apply to the entire transaction.
Tax Benefits (Section 80C)
Under Section 80C, you can claim a tax deduction of up to ₹1.5 Lakh for stamp duty and registration fees paid.
Affordable Housing
Properties registered under schemes like PMAY often feature significantly reduced statutory charges.
E-Stamping
The most common digital method. Secure payment via the SHCIL portal with immediate acknowledgement.
Franking
A process where an authorized bank stamps your documents to confirm statutory payment.
Refund Process
Refunds for stamp duty (not registration) can be claimed within 6 months of deed cancellation.
