Real Estate
under Indian law.

Stamp duty in India is a state subject, and the spread is the point: a sale deed attracts around 6% in Maharashtra with an extra 1% LBT in Mumbai, and each state sets its own rates for gift deeds, leases over twelve months, loan and rent agreements and letters of authority, with female-buyer rebates in several. The stamp duty calculator carries 22 states and links each to its own Registration & Stamps department, because the department, not a calculator, is the authority before execution.

The limitation articles for property are the longest on the books and the least forgiving. Article 61 gives thirty years to redeem a mortgage; Article 63 gives thirty years for a mortgagee's foreclosure or possession in one limb and twelve in the other; Article 62 gives twelve years to enforce payment of mortgage money; Article 65 gives twelve years for possession based on title, which is the article adverse possession is argued under; Article 67 gives twelve years to a landlord recovering possession from a tenant. Rent arrears run on three years under Article 52, trespass three years under Article 87, and specific performance of a sale agreement three years under Article 54.

Two more provisions shape outcomes. Section 20A of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 bars a court from granting an injunction in a suit involving an infrastructure project where it would impede or delay progress. And on the tax side, s.194I of the Income-tax Act, 1961 requires 10% TDS on rent for land or building above ₹6 lakh a year after the Finance Act 2025 — now s.393(1) Table Sl. No. 2(ii) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from 1 April 2026.

What this hub does not have. There is no free template for a sale deed, lease or leave-and-licence agreement in the library, and none is implied here — the seven templates are startup, employment and privacy documents. LexVio's seeded statute library also does not carry the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908 or the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, so no section of theirs is cited on this page. What this hub does carry is real: state-wise stamp duty, the property limitation articles quoted from the bare Act, and the transfer-tax tools.

The provisions, with their section numbers.

Each row names the dataset it was taken from — the seeded statute library, the compliance calendar's own statutory reference, the bare Limitation Act, or the DPDP research set. Nothing here was written from memory.

Tools that apply to this work.

Each runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, and none of them needs an account.

Limitation periods that bite here.

Quoted from the India Code bare Act. The period is only half the answer — the third column of the Schedule, the point from which time begins to run, is what actually decides the date. Each entry sets both out.

The capabilities that do this work.

Every one of these is a real feature page with its own status — Live, Beta or Soon. If it says Beta, it is in beta.

The modules this area draws on.

The people who do real estate work.

15 compliance deadlines touch this area.

These are the statutory dates, not the extended ones — there is no automatic carry-forward when a due date falls on a Sunday or a gazetted holiday, and regulators grant relief only by ad-hoc notification. Every row states who it applies to; almost none of them applies to every entity.

Real Estate — the questions people actually ask.
