Stamp duty in Maharashtra is applicable on property deals across the state. The charges are regulated under the Maharashtra Stamp Duty Act. To support homeownership and the real estate sector during the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Maharashtra government temporarily reduced stamp duty rates. However, the rates were reinstated in April 2022. A bill passed in March 2022 offers a waiver on stamp duty for resale properties for one to three years, calculated on the difference in the property's value rather than its overall price.
