India — Property: Property Taxes
Stamp duty and registration fees on property in India are set by each state. In Delhi, the Revenue Department sets stamp duty at 6% of the consideration or the circle rate, whichever is higher, for a male buyer and 4% for a female buyer, and the registration fee is 1% of the consideration or circle-rate value, whichever is higher, plus Rs 100 pasting fee. Gift deeds follow the same 4% and 6% split depending on whether the donee is a woman or a man. Rates in other states differ, so check the state revenue or registration department where the property is located.
