Work out stamp duty and registration charges on your property purchase in Indore and across Madhya Pradesh, based on whichever value the state actually taxes.
Total cost breakdown
Stamp duty and registration are calculated on the higher of the agreement value and the collector/guideline value — this is standard practice across Indian states, since the government taxes whichever figure is higher to prevent under-valuation. Rates shown are typical for Madhya Pradesh; confirm current rates and any applicable rebates with your sub-registrar office before finalising a transaction. This is an illustrative estimate, not legal or tax advice.
When you register a property, Madhya Pradesh — like every Indian state — charges stamp duty and registration fees on whichever is higher: the agreement value (what you actually paid) or the collector/guideline value (the government's minimum assessed value for that locality, also called the circle rate). This rule exists specifically to prevent buyers and sellers from under-declaring the transaction value to reduce their tax outgo.
In practice, this means if your agreement value is below the guideline value for that area, you'll still pay stamp duty on the higher guideline value — and any gap can also have income tax implications for both buyer and seller. Always check the current guideline value for your specific locality before finalising a deal.

Madhya Pradesh typically charges around 7.5% stamp duty and 3% registration fee, though exact rates can vary by municipal corporation, transaction type, and buyer category — women buyers registering property solely in their name are often eligible for a rebate on stamp duty in many states, including MP.
| Charge | Typical rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty (standard) | ~7.5% | Of property value considered |
| Stamp duty (woman buyer, sole ownership) | ~6.5% | Rebate varies; confirm current rate |
| Registration fee | ~3% | Of property value considered |
Collector/guideline values are periodically revised by the state — always check the current rate for your specific locality rather than relying on an old figure.
Sole ownership by a woman buyer often qualifies for a stamp duty rebate; joint ownership rules and eligibility criteria vary, so confirm with your sub-registrar office.
Rates can differ for agricultural land, commercial property, gift deeds, and resale versus new purchase — this calculator uses standard residential purchase rates as a baseline.
Stamp duty in MP is typically around 7.5% of the property value considered, plus a registration fee of around 3%, though exact rates can vary by municipal body and transaction type — always confirm current rates with your sub-registrar office.
The government charges stamp duty on whichever is higher — your agreement value or the collector/guideline value — specifically to prevent under-declaring the transaction value to reduce tax.
Many states, including MP, offer a stamp duty rebate for properties registered solely in a woman's name — typically around 1 percentage point lower than the standard rate. Eligibility and exact rebate amounts should be confirmed with your local sub-registrar.
No, they're separate charges. Stamp duty is a tax on the transaction document itself, while the registration fee covers the cost of officially recording the transfer with the government. Both are calculated on the same property value.
Usually not. Most lenders finance only the property value up to LTV limits — stamp duty and registration are typically paid separately, in cash, at the time of registration.
