Stamp Duty Calculator — Karnataka
Karnataka stamp duty on property: 5% of market value plus surcharge and additional duty, and a 2% registration fee since 31 August 2025. Official IGR sources.
Karnataka's IGR lists a conveyance — flats and apartments included — at 5% of market value, plus surcharge and additional duty. The registration fee was raised to 2% (₹20 per ₹1,000) from 31 August 2025.
The IGR page names the surcharge and additional duty but does not state their percentages, so this calculator shows the 5% duty and the 2% fee and leaves the two add-ons to be confirmed with the sub-registrar.
Karnataka rates
| Charge | Rate |
|---|---|
| Stamp duty on conveyance (incl. flats) | 5% of market value |
| Surcharge and additional duty | On top of the 5% — rates not stated on the IGR page |
| Registration fee | 2% (from 31.08.2025; previously 1%) |
A worked example
An ₹80 lakh flat in Bangalore: duty at 5% = ₹4,00,000, registration at 2% = ₹1,60,000 — ₹5,60,000 before surcharge and additional duty.
Guidance value
