⚠️ Verify before relying on this for Assam
Registration fee of 8.5% (for property > ₹5L) is a genuine outlier vs the ~1% norm elsewhere — double-check before publishing, it looks anomalously high. // VERIFY
Stamp duty rates in Assam
Assam charges 6% stamp duty for male buyers and a reduced 5% for female buyers, plus a 8.5% registration charge. Both are charged on the higher of your agreement value or the government's circle (ready-reckoner) rate for the property's locality — not simply what you agree to pay the seller.
Worked example — ₹80 lakh property in Assam
| Buyer | Stamp duty | Registration | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male | ₹4,80,000 | ₹6,80,000 | ₹11,60,000 |
| Female | ₹4,00,000 | ₹6,80,000 | ₹10,80,000 |
Registering the property in a woman's name alone saves ₹80,000 on this 80 lakh property in Assam.
Stamp duty vs. circle rate
This calculator only models the agreement value you enter — it has no way to know the circle rate for your specific locality within Assam. If that circle rate is higher than your agreement value, stamp duty is charged on the circle rate instead. Treat this calculator's output as a starting point, and confirm the exact figure with your local sub-registrar before paying.
