What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp duty is a tax levied by state governments on the sale and purchase of properties. It acts as legal evidence of your property ownership and is mandatory to be paid to register the property under your name.

Property Type: Commercial properties typically attract a higher stamp duty compared to residential properties.
Property Age: Older properties might attract lower stamp duty due to depreciation, though circle rates provide a baseline.
