✅ This state offers a genuine gender-based concession for a sole woman buyer.
📋 Since the value is ₹50 lakh or more, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS (₹50,000) under Section 194IA and deposit it via Form 26QB within 30 days — this comes out of the payment to the seller, not an extra cost to you.
💡 Up to ₹1,50,000 of your stamp duty + registration can be claimed under Section 80C (old tax regime only, within the overall ₹1.5 lakh limit).

Frequently asked questions
What is the stamp duty rate in Jammu & Kashmir?
Stamp duty in Jammu & Kashmir is 7% of the property's value, or 3% if the property is registered solely in a woman's name. Registration adds a further 1%.
Does Jammu & Kashmir give women a stamp duty concession?
Yes — a sole female buyer pays 3% instead of 7%. The property must be registered solely in the woman's name (or with her as the first-named owner) to qualify; adding a male co-owner may remove the concession.
Is stamp duty calculated on the price I agreed, or the government rate?
Neither alone — it's calculated on whichever is HIGHER: the price in your sale agreement, or the government's circle rate (also called guidance value or ready reckoner rate) for that locality. You cannot register below the circle rate.
Can I claim stamp duty as a tax deduction?
Yes — stamp duty and registration charges on a property purchase are deductible under Section 80C, up to ₹1.5 lakh in the year of purchase, as part of the overall 80C limit. This applies only under the old tax regime.
