How stamp duty works in Gujarat

Gujarat's stamp duty is 4.9% for all buyers, made up of 3.5% basic duty and a 1.4% surcharge. The registration fee is 1%. That puts the state at the lower end nationally. Charges are calculated on the higher of the agreement value or the jantri value, the government's annual schedule of rates. Jantri rates were doubled across the state in April 2023, so in many Ahmedabad and Surat localities the jantri value is now close to what buyers actually pay. The rates are the same across the state, so a flat in Vadodara, Rajkot or Gandhinagar is charged exactly as one in Ahmedabad.

Women get no reduction in stamp duty, but a woman who buys in her sole name pays no registration fee at all. The waiver does not apply if a man is a co-owner.

On a ₹60 lakh flat in Ahmedabad, stamp duty is ₹2,94,000. A man, or a couple buying jointly, pays a further ₹60,000 as registration fee, for a total of ₹3,54,000. A woman buying alone pays only the ₹2,94,000. For a ₹1 crore flat the saving from the fee waiver would be ₹1 lakh. The cost sheet from a developer should list stamp duty and registration separately from maintenance deposits and development charges, which are paid to the builder and are not government levies.

Stamp duty is paid by e-stamping through SHCIL or authorised banks, or through franking. Registration appointments and the online calculator are on GARVI, the Department of Stamps and Registration portal. A practical tip for new flats: many Gujarat developers register the sale of the land share and a separate construction contract, and stamp duty is due only on the land share document. Ask to see how the deed is structured and what value is stated, and make sure the construction contract matches what the brochure promises, since it is the document that protects you on the building itself.
