<h1>Government caps stamp duty and registration fees at Rs 5,000 for family partition deeds to boost registrations</h1> A state cabinet approved a flat cap of Rs 5,000 on stamp duty and registration fees for partition deeds in family property divisions, replacing earlier charges of 4% stamp duty and 1% registration fee on property value. The measure aims to encourage registration, reduce civil and revenue litigation, update land records and increase marketability of land. Authorities anticipate an initial revenue shortfall-about Rs 5.58 crore in stamp duty and Rs 80.67 lakh in registration fees-but expect higher registration volumes to offset losses over time, citing positive outcomes from similar schemes in other states.
