A registration fee of 1% of the market value means a hike in stamp duty from 5% to 6%

The decision, which is yet to get the formal nod of the state cabinet, will effectively mean a hike in stamp duty from 5% to 6%, they added.
Consumer activists too slammed the government. Stating that the fee was not a tax, but an amount charged for preserving documents, they asked the government not to think of registration fee as a means of collecting revenue.

Nobody, including the Govt., leaves any opportunity to choke or extort buyers.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, builders will take double that amount in the name of increase in duty duty.
Now we know elections are over and promises are forgotten. Govt too is no exception to greediness rule. Its not just builders.
ReplyDeleteWho suffers... the consumer. Thanks for making my vote count this elections. I did not vote for tax/levy hike.
