How stamp duty is calculated in Telangana

Check the government market value (unit rate) for your locality, compare it with your agreed price, and apply 7.5% to the higher figure. Telangana revises market values from time to time; see our Telangana market value guide.

Example: a flat in Kondapur at ₹1.2 crore, with a market value of ₹95 lakh. Charges are on ₹1.2 crore: stamp duty ₹6.6 lakh + transfer duty ₹1.8 lakh + registration fee ₹60,000 = ₹9 lakh in all.
