How much is the registration fee in Bengaluru?
Since 31 August 2025, the registration fee on a sale deed in Karnataka is ₹ 20 for every ₹ 1,000 or part of it, which is 2% of the value. It was 1% before that date. The Revenue Department notification of 29 August 2025 made the change, and stamp duty stayed the same.
Both the fee and the stamp duty are worked out on the sale price or the guidance value, whichever is higher. If you agree a price below the guidance value, you still pay on the guidance value.
How the charges are worked out
Higher of sale price and guidance valueValue rounded up to the next ₹ 1,000 × 2%Value × 5% (new flat: 2% up to ₹ 20 L, 3% up to ₹ 45 L); cess 10% and surcharge 2% of the dutyRegistration fee + stamp duty + cess + surcharge + other feesWorked example: ₹ 1 crore resale flat, guidance value ₹ 1.05 crore
The guidance value is higher, so everything is worked out on ₹ 1.05 crore. The registration fee is ₹ 2,10,000. Stamp duty at 5% is ₹ 5,25,000, with ₹ 52,500 of cess and ₹ 10,500 of surcharge. The total at registration is ₹ 7,98,000, or 7.98% of the price you agreed.
Worked example: ₹ 40 lakh new flat
For a first sale of a flat at ₹ 40 lakh, with a guidance value of ₹ 38 lakh, stamp duty falls in the 3% slab: ₹ 1,20,000, plus cess and surcharge. The registration fee is the same 2% for every property type: ₹ 80,000. The total is ₹ 2,14,400.

What should you keep in mind?
- Check the guidance value for the exact survey number or flat on Kaveri Online Services before you agree the price.
- Under-stating the price does not cut the fee, since the guidance value sets the minimum, and it can lead to penalties.
- Have a property lawyer check the title and the draft sale deed before the registration appointment.
