How stamp duty works in Telangana

A sale deed in Telangana costs the buyer 7.5% of the property value in government charges, and that figure has held since July 2021. In Hyderabad and other municipal areas it breaks down into stamp duty of 5.5%, transfer duty of 1.5% collected for the local body, and a registration fee of 0.5%. The same rates apply to men and women; the state offers no gender concession. Charges are worked out on the higher of the sale price or the market value that the department fixes for each area.

Market values in Telangana were revised sharply in 2021 and 2022, and in many Hyderabad suburbs they are now closer to transaction prices than they were a decade ago. The department's website has a ready reckoner that shows the duty, transfer duty and fee for each document type, and a calculator for the market value of a specific property.

For a ₹60 lakh flat in Hyderabad, stamp duty comes to ₹3,30,000, transfer duty to ₹90,000 and the registration fee to ₹30,000. The total is ₹4,50,000. Buyers should also budget a small user charge and the cost of the deed being drafted, which is separate from the government levies. Banks will not include any of these charges in the home loan, so the ₹4.5 lakh must be arranged separately before the registration date, on top of the down payment.

Payment is made online through the department's challan system before the registration slot, and the slot itself is booked on the same portal. The sub-registrar checks the challan against the value in the deed before registering. A practical tip: if the flat is in a gated project that straddles a municipal boundary, check which body the survey number falls under. The transfer duty and the split between duty and fee differ between municipal and gram panchayat areas, and developers' cost sheets sometimes use the wrong one.
