How it works
Stamp duty is calculated using marginal slabs — the 2% rate applies only to the first ₹20 lakh of value, 3% to the portion between ₹20 lakh and ₹45 lakh, and 5% to any amount above ₹45 lakh. The 1% registration fee is applied to the full property value on top of the duty.
Calculation methodology
This calculator applies Karnataka's official progressive duty schedule published by the Inspector General of Registration (IGRS Karnataka) to the property value you enter, then adds the 1% registration fee.
Exemptions & reliefs
Unlike Maharashtra and Delhi, Karnataka does not currently offer a stamp duty concession for female buyers. Some agricultural-land transactions may attract different rates — consult your local sub-registrar.
Recent rule changes
Rates reflect the schedule in effect from April 2024 as published by IGRS Karnataka. The duty slabs and the registration fee percentage have been stable since 2022.
Glossary
Guidance value: the Karnataka government's official minimum valuation per square foot or square metre, set by the Sub-Registrar's office for each locality. Stamp duty is calculated on whichever is higher — the guidance value or the actual transaction value.
