Arunachal Pradesh stamp duty — what makes this state different

Article 371H gives the Governor special responsibility, and Inner Line Permit (under Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation 1873) bars all non-residents from entering without permit, let alone acquiring land. The Indian Stamp Act applies in narrow notified urban pockets (Itanagar, Naharlagun, Pasighat) where APST community-tenure has been converted. Most land remains under tribal customary tenure. As of last published rate.

Arunachal became a state in 1987. The Arunachal Pradesh (Land Settlement & Records) Act 2000 governs notified urban areas. Outside these zones, customary tribal tenure applies and the Indian Stamp Act has no operation.

Women-buyer policy

No statutory women-buyer rebate.

Tribal-area, SC/ST and agricultural-land rules

Land in tribal customary tenure cannot be conveyed under Indian Stamp Act — outside its scope. Non-APST persons cannot hold freehold even in notified zones; only leasehold via Trade & Commerce Permit. Defence-cantonment conveyances follow separate central rules.

Common mistakes that void the registration

  • Under-declaring consideration below circle rate — sub-registrar levies on circle rate; gap becomes taxable under section 56(2)(x).
  • Wrong stamp paper denomination — using ₹500 stamp for ₹1Cr deed will be rejected; e-Stamp avoids this.
  • Missing two witnesses — Section 32 of Registration Act requires two witnesses physically present with PAN/Aadhaar.
  • Stale encumbrance certificate — most sub-registrars require EC dated within 30 days.
  • Power of Attorney not stamped separately — PoA itself attracts duty in Arunachal Pradesh and must be registered before executing the sale deed.
