Do women get a stamp duty concession in West Bengal?
The status of a women's stamp duty concession in West Bengal is unclear as of 2026. Some sources report a 1% rebate for female buyers, while others indicate the earlier 2% concession was discontinued by the WB government in July 2024. Because the policy has been in flux, women buyers should verify the current concession with the local Sub-Registrar or the WB Registration portal (wbregistration.gov.in) before relying on it for a purchase decision.

Gift deeds to immediate family members (spouse, children, parents, siblings) in West Bengal attract a concessional 0.5% stamp duty. Gift deeds to non-family members attract the standard slab-based stamp duty (6% up to ₹1 Cr / 7% above ₹1 Cr per current page data). Registration fee of 1% applies.
Can stamp duty be paid online in West Bengal?
Yes. Stamp duty and registration fees can be paid online through the WB Registration portal at wbregistration.gov.in. The portal supports e-stamping, document booking, and online payment via net-banking/UPI.
What is the stamp duty slab structure in West Bengal?
The stamp duty slab structure in West Bengal has been reported inconsistently across sources.
