How Stamp Duty is Calculated in Andhra Pradesh

Stamp duty in Andhra Pradesh is calculated on the higher of:

B. Government Value

The official circle rates (land + apartment composite) for your locality, from IGRS Andhra Pradesh

If you agree to buy a flat for Rs 60L but the government value for that locality works out to Rs 65L, stamp duty is calculated on Rs 65L (the higher number). This is why knowing the government value before negotiating is critical.
