Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

How is stamp duty calculated in West Bengal?+

For a standard sale, it is typically calculated on the higher of the agreement value and government market value. The applicable area rate is then applied, with registration fee shown separately.

Does this include every cost of buying property?+

No. This estimate focuses on indicative stamp duty, high-value surcharge and registration fee. Legal fees, loan charges, society transfer fees, TDS and special authority charges are outside this calculator.

Where can I find the official market value?+

Use the Directorate of Registration and Stamp Revenue, West Bengal’s official portal. The final assessment at registration is authoritative.

What is the difference between stamp duty and registration charges?+

Stamp duty is the state tax on the instrument. Registration charges are the fee to register the document. Budget both, along with any mortgage registration fee if you are taking a home loan.

How do I pay stamp duty online?+

Pay through the official state e-stamping or IGR channel only. This page is an estimator, not a stamp duty payment portal, and it does not issue a stamp duty receipt.
