Re: Stamp Duty under Amnexty Scheme at mumbai

(a) First you should ascertain the position about your title from the Society;

Have your mother's or father's name been registered in the records of Society as owner of the flat ?

(b) If yes, you need not to do anything.

If no, you ask the Scoiety to enter your name in the ownership records for your flats.

(c) If the Scoiety demands any payment of stamp duty, you will need to go and enquire from the office of 'local authorities' of your area about the amount of stamp duty.

In my opinion, since you are an old owner, having the flat since 1970, you will not need to pay any stamp duty at this stage.
