The fee table does not say whether the stamp duty paid on the builder agreement is adjusted at the sale deed. This calculator adds both in full, so treat the total as the upper limit and ask your sub-registry office. GST, parking and maintenance deposits are not registry charges.
The fee table does not say whether the stamp duty paid on the bayana agreement is adjusted at the sale deed. Both are added in full here: ask your sub-registry office.
GST on an under-construction flat is billed by the builder. It is not a registry charge: ask the builder for it in writing and type it under "Anything else".
Pay by bank only. A cash advance of ₹20,000 or more (bayana too) is barred, with a penalty equal to the amount on whoever takes it.

Source: Bihar Gazette notification No. 636 (18 June 2026) for stamp duty, and the stamp duty and fee table of the Prohibition, Excise and Registration Department, Government of Bihar. No change to the registration fee was found up to 18 October 2026.
Since 18 June 2026, a sale deed in Bihar costs 7% stamp duty + 2% registration fee = 9%. When a man sells to a woman it is 6.6% + 1.9% = 8.5%, and when a woman sells to a man it is 7% + 2.1% = 9.1%.
On whichever is higher. If the MVR value of the property is more than the price in the deed, stamp duty and the fee are charged on the MVR value.
If the MVR value is below ₹40 lakh, a man-to-man sale costs ₹2,80,000 stamp duty + ₹80,000 fee = ₹3,60,000, plus the scanning fee. Man to woman it is ₹3,40,000.
The sale deed of a flat costs the same as land: 7% stamp duty + 2% fee = 9% on the deal price or MVR value, whichever is higher. On a ₹50 lakh flat (MVR lower) that is ₹4,50,000 man to man, or ₹4,25,000 man to woman. If the builder agreement is also registered, it carries 2% stamp duty (₹1,00,000 on ₹50 lakh) and a ₹20,000 fee.
Yes, only when a man sells to a woman: 6.6% stamp duty and 1.9% fee instead of 7% and 2%. That saves about ₹20,000 on a ₹40 lakh deal.
The Revenue Department's FAQ says there is no fee. A 2026 amendment adds ₹200 per petition, but only from a date the government notifies; no such notification was found up to 18 October 2026.
A registered bayana agreement, if you make one: 2% stamp duty + ₹1,000 fee. The bank's mortgage deed, if your loan needs one. The deed writer, lawyer, broker and amin, whose charges are agreed privately. TDS of 1% on a deal of ₹50 lakh or more is cut from the seller's payment, so it is not an extra cost.
