Current Stamp Duty Slabs and Registration Fee Rates in Bangalore

Your tax rate depends on your home price and location. Men and women pay the same tax rates in Karnataka.

Property Price Slab	Base Stamp Duty	Registration Fee	Extra Cess and Surcharge	Total City Tax
Under ₹20 Lakh	2.0%	2.0%	10% Cess + 2% City Tax on Duty	~4.24% of Property Price
₹20 Lakh to ₹45 Lakh	3.0%	2.0%	10% Cess + 2% City Tax on Duty	~5.36% of Property Price
Above ₹45 Lakh	5.0%	2.0%	10% Cess + 2% City Tax on Duty	~7.60% of Property Price

Extra fees apply only to the stamp duty amount, not the total price. Village properties pay a 3% rural tax instead of 2%.

How to Calculate Total Stamp Duty and Registration Fee on Bangalore Properties

To find your tax, multiply the rate by your home price or the government guidance rate. You must pay tax on whichever price is higher.

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a math example for an ₹80,00,000 flat in Bangalore (Whitefield or Sarjapur):

Base Stamp Duty (5% of ₹80,00,000): ₹4,00,000
Infrastructure Cess (10% of Duty): ₹40,000
City Surcharge (2% of Duty): ₹8,000
Total Stamp Duty: ₹4,48,000 (5.6% of home price)
Registration Fee (2% of ₹80,00,000): ₹1,60,000
Total Govt Tax: ₹6,08,000 (7.6% of total price)

Guidance Value vs Market Value Rules

Guidance value is the lowest price set by the state for a street. You cannot register a flat below this rate by law. Section 45A of the state stamp act stops low reporting.
