The government announced plans to modify stamp duty regulations to specifically address the Mhaji Flat property, aiming to streamline registration processes.
New Delhi – The government has signaled its intention to revise the existing stamp duty framework to incorporate provisions for the property known as Mhaji Flat. The proposed amendment is expected to clarify the tax treatment of transactions involving the flat and to align the law with current market practices.
Officials indicated that the change will be introduced through an amendment to the relevant stamp act, which governs the levy of stamp duties on property transfers. The move follows consultations with legal experts and real‑estate stakeholders who highlighted ambiguities in the current legislation.
The amendment is slated for presentation in the upcoming legislative session, after which it will undergo the usual parliamentary scrutiny. Once enacted, the revised provisions will apply to all future dealings involving Mhaji Flat, potentially reducing procedural delays for buyers and sellers.
The government has not disclosed a specific timeline for the amendment's implementation, but it assured that the changes will be communicated to the public through official channels.
