Frequently Asked Questions
What is stamp duty in Arunachal Pradesh?
Uniform 6% SD + 1% Reg = 7%. No gender concession.
Can non-tribals or non-residents buy land in Arunachal Pradesh?
NO. Arunachal Pradesh has strict land ownership restrictions under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873. Only members of Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribes (APST) can own land in the state. Non-tribals and non-residents from other states are prohibited from purchasing land. An Inner Line Permit (ILP) is also required for non-residents to even enter the state. This is the single most important constraint for any non-APST user considering property in Arunachal Pradesh.
What is the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Arunachal Pradesh?
The Inner Line Permit (ILP) is a travel document required for Indian citizens from other states to enter Arunachal Pradesh. It is issued by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873. The ILP system also underpins the land-ownership restrictions — without APST status, non-residents cannot purchase or own property in the state.
How is stamp duty calculated in Arunachal Pradesh?
Stamp duty is calculated on whichever is HIGHER: the declared transaction value or the government guidance value. The rate is a flat 6% for all buyer types (no gender concession) + 1% registration fee = 7% total.
Can stamp duty be paid online in Arunachal Pradesh?
E-stamping is being rolled out in Arunachal Pradesh through SHCIL (Stock Holding Corporation of India). Online availability varies by district — contact the local Sub-Registrar office for the current mode of stamp payment in your area.
Are Arunachal Pradesh stamp duty and registration charges tax-deductible?
Yes. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, stamp duty and registration charges paid on a self-occupied residential property can be claimed as a deduction up to an overall 80C cap of ₹1.5 lakh in a financial year, subject to conditions.
What documents are needed for property registration in Arunachal Pradesh?
Standard documents include the sale deed, Aadhaar and PAN of buyer and seller, passport-size photos, previous title documents, Encumbrance Certificate, and — crucially — proof of Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) status for the buyer, since only APST members can own land.
What are the stamp duty rates for gift deeds in Arunachal Pradesh?
Gift deeds in Arunachal Pradesh attract the standard 6% stamp duty + 1% registration fee — same as sale deeds. No special reduced rate for family gifts has been notified. Verify with the local Sub-Registrar for any district-level concession.
