Under the existing rules, buyers in rural areas are required to pay 4% stamp duty and 3% court fee on the government valuation of the property. Since the official valuation has been increased, these charges will also rise accordingly.
Officials estimate that the registration of a five-decimal plot could now cost buyers approximately ₹25,000 to ₹65,000 more than before, depending on the location and revised valuation.
The revision is expected to have a significant financial impact on prospective buyers, as the total cost of property registration will increase with the implementation of the new government rates.
