Stamp Duty Calculator — Maharashtra
Calculate stamp duty and registration charges for property in Maharashtra — current 6% rate, 5% for a sole woman buyer. Free, instant, and runs entirely in your browser.
✅ 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).
ℹ️ Mumbai's 6% already includes a 1% metro cess; Pune/Nagpur run closer to 7% with local body tax. Adding a male co-owner forfeits the women's concession. Registration is capped at ₹30,000 regardless of property value. (Rates last verified 21 August 2026.)
Stamp duty rates in Maharashtra
In Maharashtra, stamp duty is charged at 6% of the higher of your agreement value or the government's circle/guidance rate. A property registered solely in a woman's name attracts a lower 5% rate, and 5.5% for joint male + female ownership — a genuine gender-based concession. A further 1% metro cess (mumbai) applies on top, so the effective all-in cost is higher than the headline rate suggests. Registration charges add 1% (capped at ₹30,000) on top of stamp duty.
| Buyer | Stamp duty | Registration |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 6% | 1% (capped at ₹30,000) |
| Female (sole owner) | 5% | 1% |
| Joint (male + female) | 5.5% | 1% |
ℹ️ Plus a 1% metro cess (mumbai) on top of stamp duty.

Frequently asked questions
What is the stamp duty rate in Maharashtra?
Stamp duty in Maharashtra is 6% of the property's value, or 5% if the property is registered solely in a woman's name. Registration adds a further 1% (capped at ₹30,000).
Is there any extra charge beyond the headline stamp duty rate in Maharashtra?
Yes — Maharashtra adds a 1% metro cess (mumbai) on top of stamp duty, which many buyers miss when budgeting from the headline rate alone.
Does Maharashtra give women a stamp duty concession?
Yes — a sole female buyer pays 5% instead of 6%. 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.
