posted on 15 MayWhat nobody tells you about Rajkot stamp duty costs
My 2BHK near Mota Mava got possession in March. The final stamp duty and registration costs were way more than I budgeted. Honestly, nobody explained these hidden charges upfront. What's the real calculation for Rajkot property, not just the base price?

It's not just stamp duty, you have registration fees, legal charges, society formation charges, then GST on top of some components! My brother bought a flat last year in Kothariya and the difference between the 'all-inclusive' quote and the final payout was almost 10%. RERA should make it mandatory to disclose all these costs upfront. It's so frustrating for first-time buyers like us.
Sahi keh rahe ho, for Rajkot, it's typically 4.9% stamp duty for women, 5.9% for men, plus 1% registration fee on the market value or agreement value (whichever is higher). Then add 1% surcharge for infrastructure development, plus a 0.5% education cess. And don't forget the legal fees and documentation charges, which can vary
Haan bhai, this is a common issue. I'm looking at a 3BHK in Krishna Kunj and the agent just quoted a lump sum. Is there any official government calculator or a reliable source to figure this out before booking?
So, even after using the government website, there are more charges? That's what I feared. What about the registration fee, is that a fixed amount or a percentage of the property value?
Yeah, Garvi Gujarat is good for base, but the total always creeps up. My lawyer helped me a lot.
Aapne jo pucha, you can check the Garvi Gujarat website for a basic stamp duty calculator, but it often misses the additional cess and surcharges. Best bet is to ask a property lawyer or a reliable agent to give you a full breakdown in writing. Don't rely on builder figures.
Totally agree yaar! Same here in Ahmedabad, they just show you the base price. Builders play very smart.
