Understanding AP Stamps and Registration
Like all other Indian states, in Andhra Pradesh buying any property requires paying stamp duty and registering the property. The Andhra Pradesh Property and Land Registration Department handles all the processes related to stamp duty here. After buying, both the buyer and seller must visit the sub-registrar’s office in the property area with two witnesses to officially record the purchase. Besides collecting stamp duty payments, the AP Property and Land Registry offers many online services to make things easier for you.
New government rules say you can register property anywhere in the district. So, you can go to the nearest Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) to your home or workplace for registering papers and paying stamp duty. Remember, two witnesses are needed for registration. Every day about 5,000 to 6,000 properties get registered, and annually around 17 to 18 million properties in Andhra Pradesh complete their registrations.
