How to Calculate Registration Charges and Stamp Duty in West Bengal?

 

West Bengal stamp duty is calculated either on the ready reckoner rates or consideration rate. However, you need to consider the rate which has the highest sum.

A ready reckoner rate is a minimum value to buy a property. Conversely, a consideration value is a total amount paid in any sale or purchase transaction as agreed between both parties.

For Example: If the value of your property is ₹60,00,000 and the ready reckoner rate is ₹50,00,000, the stamp duty will be computed with the higher value. Here is how-

Reckoner Rate

₹6,000 per sq. m

Flat Size

1,000 sq.m

Total Value

₹60,00,000

Stamp Duty

6% of ₹60,00,000 = ₹3,60,000

The calculation for West Bengal property registration is-

Property Cost

₹60,00,000

Registration Fees

1% of ₹60,00,000 = ₹60,000
