Hi, Maharashtra government announced new ready reckoner (RR) rates for Mumbai for 2015, hiking them by as much as 40% in some areas.
The ready reckoner (RR) is a guide published annually by the state government, which determines the rate of properties in the particular area, on which stamp duty and registration charges are calculated.
In 2013, a flat in a new building, you would have paid Rs 9.16 lakh stamp duty, and around Rs 6.4 lakh in a 20-year-old building and in 2014, for example, if you would have to shell out Rs 10.1 lakh stamp duty for a new 1,000-square-foot flat in Bandra, you would pay Rs 9.2 lakh for a flat in a 20-year-old building
Earlier ready reckoner rates were based on carpet area but from 2008 the ready reckoner rates are based on built up area. The ready reckoner is used as a basis to calculate the market value of properties for paying stamp duty and registration charges to the state government at the time of registering the transaction.
Despite falling sales due to unaffordability, the Maharashtra Government has hiked ready reckoner rates by up to 20% in Mumbai, the most expensive property market in the country. The revision in ready reckoner rates is applicable from January 1, 2014.
Infact there are locations like Nepean Sea Road, Altamount Road, Worli and Prabhadevi have seen a hike of more than 20% and are most affected among the city areas. The hike has come as a surprise to many Mumbaikars.
The news is absolutely true. Today if you are planning to buy an old flat in Mumbai, you wont be able to avail the full 30 percent depreciation in the property's value because the hike in RR rates has lowered the depreciation benefit for flats in 20 years old buildings to merely 2 percent to 11 percent. As a result, stamp duty to be paid on old and new flats will no longer vary substantially
