Stamp Duty Calculator — Kerala

Kerala stamp duty on a sale is 8% of fair value or consideration, whichever is higher, and registration is 2%. From the Kerala registration ready reckoner.

Built on Indian rules. Figures are in rupees and follow Indian tax and registration law — stamp duty by state, home-loan interest and principal relief, TDS on a property purchase, GST and RERA carpet area. The arithmetic holds anywhere; the rates and rules do not.
