karnataka: Property market: Transaction values to go up as Karnataka sets out to revise guidance value
The stamps & registration department has collected Rs 6522 crore as of August 21 this fiscal year compared to Rs 6142 crore during the same period last year. The Finance department has factored in an increase in guidance value while fixing the revenue target this year. Karnataka introduced the guidance value system in the 1990s to plug leaks in stamp duties through under reporting of the value of transactions.
