Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current stamp duty in Mizoram (2026)?
Mizoram's stamp duty is 3% on conveyance / sale of immovable property, per the Indian Stamp (Mizoram Amendment) Act, 2024 (Act No. 4 of 2024, gazetted 15 March 2024). A concessional 2.5% rate applies if the buyer qualifies as a widow (sole purchaser, per the Act's specific definition). Registration fee is 0.5% of property value, capped at ₹30,000.
Has Mizoram's stamp duty changed recently?
Yes. The Indian Stamp (Mizoram Amendment) Act, 2024 (assented by the Governor on 12 March 2024) revised stamp duty rates. The current 3% rate (with 2.5% widow concession) is the post-amendment figure. Older sources may cite different rates that are no longer in force.
Who qualifies as a 'widow' for the 2.5% concession?
Per the 2024 Amendment Act's Explanation to Article 23: a woman who lost her spouse through death, divorce, or any other means AND lives in a separate household (separate house, separate kitchen). It also includes a woman with children out of marriage living in a separate household. The concession applies only when she is the sole purchaser.
Do women get a general stamp duty concession in Mizoram (non-widow)?
No. Mizoram does not offer a gender-based stamp duty concession — non-widow women buyers pay the same 3% as men. The only gender-linked concession is the 2.5% widow rate, which is conditional on the legal definition above.
Can stamp duty be paid online in Mizoram?
Online payment options for stamp duty in Mizoram are limited compared to most other states. Buyers should consult the Mizoram Land Revenue Department or the office of the Sub-Registrar for current payment modes — at present, in-person payment at the SRO with physical stamp paper or franking is the most common method.
