is defence personnel are exempted from paying stamp duty which is paid. if i am buying house costing 60 lacs, i have to pay 7% stamp duty in ghaziabad which is 4.2 lacs. Are the charges same for defence personnel or they are exempted
Hi, Ghaziabad civic body is the first local body that clears proposal to exempt defense personnel from house tax. this was the first such move in the state and is aimed at giving benefit to families of defense personnel, serving and retired, and also the families of martyrs. They added that the waiver will also be applicable to personnel of the paramilitary forces and the tax waiver will start from the current financial year (2017-18).
Yes, the Ghaziabad Local Body clarified that other components of the property tax — such as sewer tax and water tax — will not be waived. The corporation levies a 12% house tax and 10% each sewer tax and water tax annually, based on the annual rental value of the property.
