How to pay stamp duty in Chhattisgarh
Stamp duty in Chhattisgarh can be paid through e-stamping (Stock Holding Corporation of India) or via the state's online portal. Both produce a digitally verifiable certificate, accepted by every Sub-Registrar office in the state. Traditional non-judicial stamp paper and franking are still available but are being phased out.
For property registration, the stamp duty is paid in addition to a registration fee (typically 1% of consideration). Make sure both are remitted before the document is presented for registration — under-payment renders the document inadmissible until you clear the deficit plus penalty under Section 35 of the Indian Stamp Act.
For high-value transactions (Chhattisgarh sale deeds above ₹1 crore are common), get the duty pre-confirmed by the District Sub-Registrar. Mid-year rate notifications can change the calculation; the portal is the canonical source.
