What is Stamp Duty and Why Must You Pay It?

Stamp duty is a state government tax levied on every property transaction in India — it is the legal recognition of property ownership transfer from seller to buyer. Without paying stamp duty and registering the sale deed at the Sub-Registrar office, a property transaction has no legal validity in India — the buyer has no legal ownership rights even after paying the full purchase price. Stamp duty rates vary significantly from state to state — and even within the same state based on property type, buyer gender, and urban vs rural location. Use DirectoHome's Stamp Duty Calculator to know your exact liability before signing any agreement. Read our complete Home Buying Guide for how stamp duty fits into your total purchase budget.

GST on Property Purchases — When Does It Apply?

GST is an additional cost that applies only on under-construction properties — and is one of the most important factors in the resale vs new launch decision:

• Under-construction properties: 5% GST on total property value — no input tax credit benefit passed to buyers
• Affordable housing (PMAY-eligible): Reduced GST at 1% — applicable for affordable housing projects in Faridabad and Lucknow
• Ready-to-move with Occupancy Certificate (OC): Zero GST — this is one of the biggest financial advantages of buying resale properties on DirectoHome
• Plots and land: No GST applicable — another advantage of plot investments
• Commercial properties: 12% GST on under-construction commercial — significantly higher than residential; factor this into commercial property investment calculations
