What is Stamp Duty?

Stamp duty is a state government tax levied on legal documents — including sale deeds, gift deeds, and conveyance deeds — at the time of property registration. It is governed by the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as applicable to Chhattisgarh.

Stamp duty is calculated on the property’s transaction value or the government’s guidance value — whichever is higher.

What are Registration Charges?

Registration charges are fees paid to the Department of Vanijyik Kar (Registration), Chhattisgarh, for officially recording your property transaction in government records under the Registration Act, 1908.

Important: Chhattisgarh charges a registration fee of 4% of property value — significantly higher than most Indian states that charge 1%–2%. This is a critical budgeting consideration.
