We have query regarding STAMP DUTY and VAT on property in Mumbai (Maharastra)
We have purchased flat in Mumbai (Maharashtra). Allotment letter issued by developer in Sept 2010 @ Rs. 9000 psf and full instalment paid as & when demanded by builder. Possession expected in Sept 2015.
Developer advised that Stamp Duty & VAT payable on market price as of today (sept 2015) @ Rs. 13000 psf. whereas we bought directly from developer @ Rs. 9000 psf.
Please clarify, why we can not pay Stamp Duty and VAT on cost price (when building ready in Sept 2015 only)

Stamp duty normally should not exceed 5%. Ask local lawyer to confirm. Bldr cannot demand more than prescribed market value
