How is stamp duty calculated in Kolkata?
Stamp duty in Kolkata is 6% up to ₹1 crore and 7% above. On a ₹70 L flat a man pays ₹4,20,000 in duty and ₹70,000 in registration, ₹4,90,000 in all. Men and women pay the same in West Bengal. The charge counts toward the new house's cost for Section 54 and 54F, here adding ₹3,25,017 to a 54F exemption.
stamp = max(price, circle value) × duty% (+ cess on duty); registration = value × reg% (capped in some states);
new house cost C = price + stamp + registration, counted up to ₹10 crore;
net consideration N = sale price − transfer costs; LTCG = N − cost (or N − indexed cost);
Section 54 (82): exemption = min(LTCG, C);
Section 54F (86): exemption = LTCG × C ÷ N, at most LTCG;
tax = (LTCG − exemption) × 12.5% (or 20% indexed) × (1 + surcharge) × 1.04This page uses the same method as the Stamp Duty & Capital Gains Planner (India), which explains each term and assumption in full.
