Learn moreSince the 18 June 2026 notification, stamp duty on a sale deed in Bihar is 7% (6.6% when a man sells to a woman), plus a 2% registration fee. Both are charged on the deal value or the MVR (government minimum value), whichever is higher.
If you held the land for more than 24 months, the gain is long-term and taxed at 12.5%; resident individuals and HUFs who bought before 23 July 2024 pay 20% with indexation instead if that is lower. Cess (and surcharge on high incomes) is added. Agricultural land outside municipal limits and the belt around them (8 km for Patna Municipal Corporation) is not a capital asset, so there is no capital gains tax on it. Buying a new house, or NHAI/REC bonds within 6 months (up to ₹50 lakh), can save the tax.
Only by bank transfer or account-payee cheque, from the buyer's own account. Taking ₹20,000 or more in cash for a property deal is barred, and the penalty, equal to the amount, falls on you. Sign a written agreement with every co-sharer: price, payment dates, registry deadline and what happens to the bayana if either side backs out. Don't hand over possession or original papers until full payment.
In Patna, 1 kattha is about 1,361 sq ft, and 1 kattha = 20 dhur, so 1 dhur is about 68 sq ft. Always go by the area written in your deed and the khatiyan.
Jamabandi is on the Bihar Bhumi portal (biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in): choose district, anchal (circle), halka and mauza, then search by khata, khesra or name. Scanned khatiyan copies are on the Bhu-Abhilekh portal (bhuabhilekh.bihar.gov.in). Our step-by-step guide shows each screen.
Only under strict conditions. In the Urban Agriculture zone of the Patna Master Plan 2031 a house may cover at most 20% of the plot and be at most 7 m tall; in the Conservation zone plotted housing is not allowed. Check the zone of the exact plot before paying.
