Hi Rayna,
1) For transfers other than in (b) in urban area :- 8% + 25% of duty = 10% on market value of Property

2) For transfer relating to premises in Co-operative Society registered or deemed to have been registered under Gujarat Co-operative Society Act, 1961, by such society in favor of its member or by such member in favour of another member or for transfer of premises relating to Board Constituted under Gujarat Housing Board Act, 1961, or Gujarat House Board Act, 1972 or to which provisions of Gujarat Ownership Flats Act, 1973 apply :- 6 % + 25% of duty = 7.5% on market value of Property.

Right Vikash Sir,
But from now onward, there is a hike in property tax as buyers have to pay Krishi Kalyan Cess-0.50% and Swacha Bharat tax-0.50% which is effective from June 1st, 2016 in form of Krishi Kalyan Cess and Swachh Bharat Cess. So the total service tax rate will be 15%.

Hi Rayna!
In Gujarat stamp duty is charged at 4.9% and registration charges 1% of the market price of the property or the transaction value, whichever is higher. Currently female property owners are exempt from the registration fees of 1%. This offer of registration fees for females is aimed at empowering women and motivating families to register properties in the name of female family members.
