If you\nare planning to buy a house in Chennai, then you must know that the payment of\nthe State levied stamp duty and registration charges is an important part of\nthe transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any property\ninvestment agreement is incomplete without the payment of these overhead\ncharges. The stamp duty and registration charges differ from state to state,\nprimarily determined by the market value of the property, ownership status, and\nwhether it is a commercial property or residential. Once the stamp duty has\nbeen paid, the property must be registered at the sub-registrar office in order\nfor the transaction to be complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with\nunderstanding what these overhead charges are and why they are levied in the\nfirst place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, stamp\nduty is a legal tax placed on property documents during the transfer or sale of\na property. It is payable in full and testaments for the sale or purchase of a\nproperty. It is a state subject, which is why the tax rate varies from state to\nstate. Following which, a property must be registered in order to be deemed\nlegally purchased. Once a property is registered in the owner\u2019s name, the\nregistration charges are levied. If the property is not registered, the entire\npurchase can be accounted null and void. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The stamp duty charges in Chennai\n(rural and urban) is 7% of the market value of the property (as decided by the\ngovernment, depending on the zone where the property is located). <\/li><li>Once the stamp duty has been paid\nand the buyer registers the property under his\/her own name, a registration\ncharge of 1% of market value of the property is payable.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rural or urban, men or women, there is no distinction in charges, throughout Chennai. The stamp duty (7% of property market value) and registration fee (1% of property market value) to be paid is the same at the Registrar\/Sub-Registrar\u2019s office of the respective jurisdiction where the property was purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chennai\u2019s proliferating growth across all spheres, including employment and educational opportunities, infrastructure, has contributed to its rising demand for residential projects. Many young professionals and families are choosing to find a home and settle in this city.
