Notes
- Bihar sets the rate by the genders of both buyer and seller: 6% base; 5.7% when a woman buys from a man; 6.3% when a man buys from a woman.
- The headline numbers assume a male seller. Joint purchases are shown at the 6% base rate; confirm with the sub-registrar.
- Duty is charged on the higher of the sale value and the minimum value register (MVR) rate.
- Registration fee is 2% of value (some sources show it adjusted alongside the gender-based duty rates).
