Frequently Asked Questions
What is stamp duty in Lakshadweep?
Uniform 5% SD + 1% Reg = 6%. No gender concession.
Can non-islanders buy land in Lakshadweep?
Generally, NO. Land ownership in Lakshadweep is tightly restricted under the Laccadive, Minicoy and Amindivi Islands Land Revenue and Tenancy Regulation, 1965. Only native Scheduled Tribe members can own land in most areas. Non-islanders face severe restrictions on purchasing property in the Union Territory. Any buyer from outside the islands should consult the Lakshadweep UT Administration before considering a transaction.
Is the stamp duty calculator practically useful for Lakshadweep?
Very few private property transactions occur on the open market in Lakshadweep because of the land-ownership restrictions under the 1965 Regulation. The calculator estimates are useful for the narrow set of transactions that are permitted — mostly between islanders — but the primary question for any non-islander buyer remains whether the transaction is legally allowed in the first place.
