Source: Times of India – Telangana Cabinet to Review Stamp Duty Hike
๐ข Government Plans to Revise Stamp Duty & Land Rates
The Telangana government is expected to increase stamp duty and land values as part of a broader cabinet discussion in mid-2025. This decision will directly affect property registration costs for plot buyers in Hyderabad, especially in developing areas like:
-
Rizwan Colony
-
Shastripuram
-
Ghouse Nagar
-
Bandlaguda
-
Kishanbagh
๐ If you're planning to buy or register land, it’s important to understand what this means for your pocket.
๐ฆ What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp Duty is the tax you pay to the government when you buy or register a property. It is calculated based on the government-assessed land value (called guideline value or government rate), not the market price.
Currently in Telangana (2025 rates):
-
Stamp Duty: 4%
-
Transfer Duty (Surcharge): 1.5%
-
Registration Fee: 0.5%
➡️ Total Cost: ~6% of property value
๐บ What’s Changing?
The government is discussing:
-
Increasing stamp duty by 1% or more
-
Revising land values for various colonies (govt rate hikes)
-
Bringing unregularized layouts under taxable category
This will mean:
-
You will pay more to register your plot
-
AGPA registrations may also get costlier
-
Land values will go up officially (affecting taxes and resale)
๐ Areas Likely to Be Affected

-
๐ Check your layout’s approval and LRS status
-
๐ฌ Ask brokers/document writers if your colony is listed for revision

“Registration office people already hinted that new rates will come before Dasara or Diwali. Buyers doing AGPA now may lose ₹10–15k later if they delay Sale Deed.”
