Telangana Ready Reckoner — Complete Guide to Stamp Duty, Transfer Duty & Registration Fees
The Ready Reckoner is the official rate chart published by the Inspector General of Registration and Stamps (IGRS), Telangana, listing stamp duty, transfer duty, and registration fees applicable to all types of property documents. The current rates are governed by G.O.Ms.No.59, dated 20.07.2021 (for stamp duty) and G.O.Ms.No.60, dated 20.07.2021 (for registration fees).
Three Components of Property Registration Cost
Every property registration in Telangana involves three separate charges:
- Stamp Duty (SD): A tax on the document itself, payable to the state government. Rates vary by document type — from 0% (will) to 15% (lease 20–30 years).
- Transfer Duty (TD): An additional levy on property transfers, applicable only in urban areas (Municipalities, Municipal Corporations, GHMC). Typically 1.5% for sale deeds. 0% in Gram Panchayat areas.
- Registration Fee (RF): Fee paid to the Sub-Registrar for recording the document. Ranges from flat amounts (Rs.1,000–Rs.5,000) to percentage-based (0.1%–2%).
Urban vs Gram Panchayat — Key Difference
Sale deed rates in Telangana are different for urban and GP areas:
- Urban (GHMC/Municipality/Corporation): Sale deed = 4% SD + 1.5% TD + 0.5% RF = 6% total
- Gram Panchayat (Rural): Sale deed = 5.5% SD + 0% TD + 2% RF = 7.5% total
Transfer Duty (1.5%) is a municipal-only levy — it does not apply in Gram Panchayat areas. Instead, GP areas have higher stamp duty (5.5% vs 4%) and higher registration fee (2% vs 0.5%). For other document types (gifts, exchange deeds, mortgages with possession, releases), the GP/urban distinction similarly affects how these charges are allocated.
Chargeable Value — What Amount Is Taxed?
For most documents, stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the actual sale consideration or the government market value (guideline value). This ensures the government receives appropriate revenue even if the declared transaction value is below market rates. Use our Guideline Value tool to check the government rate for your property.
Adjustable vs Non-Adjustable Stamp Duty
Some documents have "adjustable" stamp duty — this means the stamp duty paid on the agreement can be set off against the stamp duty payable on the final sale deed. For example, a Sale Agreement With Possession has 5.5% adjustable SD, so when the final sale deed is registered, the 5.5% already paid is deducted. Non-adjustable SD (like 0.5% on Sale Agreement Without Possession) cannot be set off.

Frequently Asked Questions
In urban areas (GHMC/Municipality/Corporation), the total is 6%: 4% SD + 1.5% TD + 0.5% RF. In Gram Panchayat areas, the total is 7.5%: 5.5% SD + 0% TD + 2% RF. Transfer duty is a municipal-only levy.
Stamp duty is a tax on the document itself. Transfer duty (1.5%) is an additional levy applicable only in municipal/urban areas. Registration fee is for recording the document at the SRO. For sale deeds: urban = 4% SD + 1.5% TD + 0.5% RF = 6% total; GP = 5.5% SD + 0% TD + 2% RF = 7.5% total.
Partition Deed (family) is the cheapest: 0.5% SD (max Rs.1,00,000) + Rs.2,000 flat RF. For a Rs.1 crore property, this costs about Rs.52,000. Next cheapest: Settlement/Gift to family at 2% SD + 0.5% RF (max Rs.25,000) = ~Rs.2.25 lakhs for Rs.1 crore.
Adjustable stamp duty means the amount paid on an agreement (e.g., Sale Agreement With Possession at 5.5%) can be set off against the stamp duty on the final sale deed. You won't pay the same duty twice. Non-adjustable duty (e.g., 0.5% on Sale Agreement Without Possession) cannot be set off.
No. Telangana maintains uniform rates regardless of gender. Unlike some states (Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan), there is no special reduction for women property buyers in Telangana.
