What you are buying

How it's calculated

  1. Registration duty is 5% of the value in the deed. The buyer pays it when the deed is registered.
  2. Land transfer tax is 5% of the value, without VAT, and is paid by the seller.
  3. A buyer who qualifies gets the duty cut by up to Rs 300,000 on a house or apartment, or up to Rs 150,000 on bare land to build a home.

An example

On a house of Rs 8 million the duty is Rs 400,000. With the first home reduction the buyer pays Rs 100,000, and the seller pays Rs 400,000 of land transfer tax.
