Hi Ashwini, Till now, Stamp Duty on Agreements for Sale & Purchase of Property or Registry Fees in Punjab was 9%. To boost the growth of the ailing Real Estate Sector in Punjab, the Govt. removed 3 percent additional stamp duty chargeable as Social Security Fund through an amendment to Section 3-C of the Schedule & thereby reduced Stamp Duty on the Cost for Registration of property in urban areas from 9 to 6 percent. These Revised Registry Fees i.e 1% on the market price of the flat or agreement whichever is lower (Rs.30000) in Punjab will remain applicable until March 31, 2018.
