Gift deed stamp duty in Karnataka
In Karnataka, a gift of property to a family member attracts a flat stamp duty of ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 by location (₹5,000 in BBMP and city-corporation areas), with a flat ₹500 registration fee. A gift to a non-family member attracts the full 5% rate (plus surcharge and cess) and 2% registration. The calculator uses the ₹5,000 urban family rate.
When and how to pay
- In Karnataka the duty is paid via e-stamping or franking. A gift of immovable property must be made by a registered deed signed by the donor and attested by two witnesses to be valid.
- Stamp duty and the registration fee are both calculated on the property's market value as per the State circle / ready-reckoner rate.
- A gift to a relative as defined under Section 56(2) of the Income-tax Act is not taxable in the donee's hands; this is separate from stamp duty.
