Property registration charges revised in AP
Hyderaba
d- The government has cleared the proposal of R&S (Revenue and Stamp) department to increase the market values of properties for registration all over the State.
Now, the residents will have to cough up higher registration charges for buying or selling their properties after April 1, 2013. It is applicable for both rural and urban areas.
The proposal also invited public objections but only few objections were received due to lack of publicity. The new market values are being displayed at all the 432 sub-registrar offices.
The stamp duty has been reduced from 5 percent to 4 percent and registration fee has been retained at 0.5 percent. Following table gives complete detail of stamp duty, transfer duty and registration fee for both urban and rural areas.
| Registration charges components | Now | After April 1, 2013 | Percentage- Hike/reduction |
| Stamp duty for urban and rural areas | 5.00% | 4.00% | 1.00% |
| Transfer Duty | |||
| Urban | 2.00% | 1.50% | 0.50% |
| Rural | 3.00% | 1.50% | 1.50% |
| Registration fee | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0 |
