Stamp duty by state
Stamp duty is a state tax charged on the higher of your agreed price and the state's circle or ready reckoner value. Rates change by notification, so each row names the department to check. Where we could not confirm a current figure, the row says so instead of showing a number.

Common questions
What is stamp duty charged on?
On the higher of the price in your agreement and the state's circle rate or ready reckoner value for that property.
Why does stamp duty differ between states?
It is a state tax, so each state sets its own rate, and several charge a lower rate when the buyer is a woman.
Is the registration fee part of stamp duty?
No. Registration is a separate charge paid to the sub-registrar, usually a small share of value, sometimes with a cap.
When do I pay stamp duty?
Before or at registration, normally online through the state's e-stamping or treasury portal.
