IGR ready reckoner and stamp duty rates for Maharashtra (2026)

In March 2026, the state announced a complete freeze — no increase in the Annual Statement of Rates for 2026–27, rural, urban and influence zones alike (Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule; IGR & Controller of Stamps). Stamp duty and registration therefore stay pegged to 2025–26 base values through 31 March 2027, while the state chases its ₹68,600 crore collection target on transaction volume instead. For buyers, this is a genuine window: closing a plot purchase this fiscal avoids any FY 2027–28 revision risk. The freeze changes nothing about construction cost — it protects the 5–7% registration slice of your project budget.

The Annual Statement of Rates (popularly the ready reckoner), published by the Inspector General of Registration (IGR), sets the minimum value per square foot / per acre for every village and lane in Maharashtra. Stamp duty is paid on the higher of the ready reckoner value or the actual agreement value. In a rising market the ready reckoner usually trails the market - in a flat market it often catches up. Always compare both before budgeting.

Baramati residential rates are a fraction of Pune city — roughly 15–25% of city-centre rates — with the MIDC belt at the lower end. The ready reckoner rate in Baramati is zone- and lane-specific, so it's essential to pull the exact schedule for your village before budgeting. The IGR Maharashtra published its updated *Annual Statement of Rates for 2026*, covering Pune city, Pune district, and Baramati taluka. The rate schedule is village, lane, and survey-specific; consult the IGR portal or ready reckoner notices linked from the Update Desk, and review the 2026 update notice to see what changed this year.

Stamp duty on a property in Maharashtra ranges from 4% to 7% depending on the jurisdiction. In PMC/PCMC municipal areas, the rate is 7% total (5% base + 1% metro cess + 1% LBT/surcharge). For municipal councils like Baramati, the rate is 5–6% (base + LBT, no metro cess). In Gram Panchayat areas, the rate is 4–5%. Female property owners receive a 1% concession on residential stamp duty. The registration fee is 1% but is capped at ₹30,000. The duty is calculated on the higher of the ready reckoner value or agreement value.

The registration fee is 1% of the property value, capped at ₹30,000 for properties valued above ₹30 lakh. On a ₹50 lakh ready-reckoner valuation that means ₹30,000 registration (capped), not ₹500,000. Duty plus registration is the total statutory bill you must budget on top of the purchase price.

Pune city property rates are highly zone- and lane-specific, but the most searched areas align with major administrative jurisdictions. PCMC (Pimpri-Chinchwad) e-ASR rates are higher than the district fringe but lower than PMC prime areas. Kothrud falls in the high-residential tier, with lane-specific rate schedules. Hinjewadi commands a premium due to its status as an IT corridor. Moshi (PCMC north) is categorized as a lower-band pocket in the ready-reckoner valuation. The exact ready-reckoner values vary lane by lane and are fixed for FY 2026–27.
