Stamp Duty Amnesty Scheme 2019 – Procedure.
By Abhay Harish Shah , Realty Quarter
The Maharashtra Government has officially announced the amnesty scheme. This scheme is mainly for the homebuyers in the state who have not completed their property registration.
Under this scheme, all the flat-owners who haven’t paid stamp duty on their purchase agreements will get an opportunity to settle-down their purchase by clearing up their stamp duty within a given time-span. And the given time-span alotted by the government is 6 months.
“While paying the stamp duty the person is supposed to pay a nominal fee” said by a senior officer.
This specific scheme is brought into place in order to allow the resident’s owners, particularly those under the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada), the City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco), the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), to pay their pending dues and complete the deemed conveyance transaction.
Procedure to Avail the stamp duty Amnesty Scheme:
Eligibility: A person who is a part of a document or is entitled to property are eligible to apply for this scheme. Also, a person holding a power of attorney is eligible.
Form A: The person is responsible to fill up the details in Form A prescribed under the scheme.
Documents: The person is liable to provide the original instrument on which inadequate stamp duty was paid, along with self-attested copies of the other supporting documents.
Deadline: He/She should apply before the end date that is 31st August 2019.
An amount payable: This is the last step in which your application will be evaluated, in which the amount of deficient duty, as well as the amount of penalty, will be informed to you. This amount should be cleared before 60days, failing which the application will be treated as null and void.

Hi ….my parents had purchased a flat in 1982 however stamp duty was not applicable then as per the govt. Policy, can you confirm if the flat owners who purchased flats between1979 to 1982 need to pay the stamp duty as per the amnesty scheme of 2019?
Hi, stamp duty is compulsory in any purchase of a property, that is why amnesty scheme has come into consideration as many old properties were not charged with stamp duty. It is advisable to check with Government Office to get exact information as they might charge a penalty in future, and if possible get the confirmation in writing.
I have purchased flat at thane in 1992.
On that time I have paid stamp duty as per sale agreement. Some years later office has informed me that, you have to pay diff. in stamp duty, which is calculated as per ready recknor. Meantime, my original docs. retain with them. On month of December,2019 I have paid fully outstanding dues with penalty @ 400%, as per their demand. Now on Feb. 2019, office has declared stamp duty amnesty scheme @10% .
My question is, can I eligible for refund of 90 % penalty, as per their notification ? If yes, what is the procedure…?
Please guide me.
Thanks
The amnesty scheme is only charged on the unpaid Stamp Duty of an old flat. If the officials have sent the stamp duty charges under an amnesty scheme then there must be some outstanding left or else you need to check with them and get the update for your dues you paid on December 2019.
Hii is it started, if not from when its going to start.

Pl guide.
As per my knowledge the place where property registration is done over there only amnesty scheme duty needs to be paid, which is Bandra (East) in your case. And that office only will guide you with paperwork. Please note: This is as per my understanding, rest government officials can only guide you in detail.

Hello,
The query is regarding the Abhay Yojna 2008 amnesty scheme, Maharashtra. I had paid the required stamp duty under the schemes terms and conditions, but failed to register the document.
I want to sale this house now but Society is not giving NOC for Mahada transfer as I haven’t register my property during last Abhay Yojna scheme.
Can I register now my old documents ?
Any agreement has to be registered within 4 months of its execution by both the parties. By paying penalty upto 10 times of registration fees, the agreement may be registered in 8 months. Now you may execute gift deed within family members , attach the old agreement annexure to gift deed and register. One party registration has been stopped since 2011.

My family had purchased 2 flats in 1995 and paid stamp duty as per agreement and not as per ready reckoner. Later it has been gifted to me (son) by payment trf fees. Is stamp duty still liable to pay. Official didn’t ask for difference fees while transferring please help
There is a liability of stamp duty on the agreement of 1995 as your father had paid stamp duty on market value. Though it was not demanded at the time of gift deed, it is advisable that, you should take the benefit of amenity scheme.

I have purchased the flat in Vile Parle in 2003 and paid stamp duty at ready reckoner rates then. Tha Registration was done but I lost the Registration fee receipt. As I have paid the stamp duty what more I have to do
I have paid stamp duty on the property purchase in 1999 but at the same time from Allotment there is 2 more deal taken place on which stamp duty was not paid by buyers.

Hi I have paid the stamp duty (including penalty) under the current amnesty scheme in August 2019 for the flat that I had purchased in 2003. Now, when I wanted to do the registration the local authorities (in Thane) are asking me to pay the stamp duty under the current rules (net of previous stamp duty paid in August 2019) and then register the property. Why do I have to pay the stamp duty again, cant I register the property with the stamp duty I paid under the amnesty scheme. Also, there is some difficulty for the seller to come for the registration as they have moved to another state and are travelling outside India most of the time, what is the solution for that as one side registration has closed since 2011. Request your help in these queries.
