Stamp Duty Rates in Jharkhand (2026)
Jharkhand has a flat 4% stamp duty for all buyers (no gender discount). Registration is technically 3% but capped at ₹50,000. For properties above ₹16.7 lakh, the cap kicks in, making effective registration much lower than 3%.
Registration Charges Cap
Jharkhand caps registration at ₹50,000 regardless of property value. The 3% nominal rate means the cap applies to any property above ₹16.7 lakh. For a ₹1 crore property: stamp duty ₹4,00,000 + registration ₹50,000 = ₹4,50,000 total (4.5% effective — lower than Goa for expensive properties!).
