Bihar stamp duty rates 2025

The Bihar stamp duty rates for a sale deed are set by the state Registration Department and apply across all districts. Duty is charged on the higher of the sale price or the MVR (circle rate) value. The rate depends on who is buying and who is selling:

• Standard (most sales, incl. male → male and joint): 6% stamp duty + 2% registration fee
• Male seller → female buyer: 5.7% stamp duty + 1.9% registration fee
• Female seller → male buyer: 6.3% stamp duty + 2.1% registration fee

Rates last reviewed September 2026. Confirm with your Sub-Registrar before registry.

How the Bihar circle rate calculator works

This Bihar circle rate calculator takes the official minimum rate (सर्कल रेट) for your district and area type, multiplies it by the land area, and then applies the appropriate stamp duty + registration fee on top:

1. Convert your input to square feet using standard Bihar units (1 बीघा = 20 कट्ठा = 27,225 sq.ft., 1 कट्ठा = 1,361.25 sq.ft.). Local bigha sizes can differ by district.
2. Multiply by your MVR rate — or, if you leave it blank, our indicative estimate for that district + area type (not an official rate).
3. Apply 0.35× factor for agricultural land (which is valued lower).
4. Add stamp duty (6% / 5.7% / 6.3%) and registration fee (2% / 1.9% / 2.1%) based on buyer and seller.

Example — property valued at ₹22,50,000

• Standard sale: stamp duty 6% = ₹1,35,000 + registration 2% = ₹45,000 → ₹1,80,000
• Male seller → female buyer: 5.7% = ₹1,28,250 + 1.9% = ₹42,750 → ₹1,71,000
• Female seller → male buyer: 6.3% = ₹1,41,750 + 2.1% = ₹47,250 → ₹1,89,000
