Threatned by the stamp registrar

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 30 August 2020 This query is : Resolved
Sir,

I have recently purchased an agriculture land.
Its my First purchase, and due to some misguidance, the officers have found a shortage of Stamp Duty. They have taken a plea that our agricultural land comes under 200m radius of an existing factory and thus have to pay Commercial Stamp.
Neither patwari or the deed writer has given me clue regarding this, else i would have paid the exact stamp then only.
People says that it is a new act , and i have to deposit the difference. I have given application for allowing me to deposit the difference.

The officer is asking for 50% of the stamp difference amount as his service fee. if i don't give that, they will post a heavy penalty on us and then we have to go to some other place for appeal. And that appeal will be submitted only by depositing 33% of the amount.

This is what going on still in U.P. Pl advice me.

Quick Summary

A recent agricultural land purchase has led to a dispute with the stamp registrar over alleged stamp duty shortages. The registrar claims the land falls within a factory's 200m radius, requiring commercial stamp duty. The buyer, unaware of this rule, is being asked for a 'service fee' by the officer to avoid penalties and a costly appeal process. Advice is sought on navigating this situation, including verifying the legality of the demand and seeking local legal counsel.

Local laws apply for stamp duty which is as per circle rates and usage, where you are required to seek professional services of a local prudent lawyer.

The Sub-Registrar has demanded difference of stamp duty on the basis of some government policy, ask for the same.

Hello,

You have to pay stamp duty and registration charges as per your state's law. Find out whether sub-registrar is demanding legally payable amount. If he is demanding bribe complaint to anti corruption department.

Have you received any official communication demanding the payment? Have you tried to ascertain the norms under which the additional payment is proposed to be levied?

If the Sub Registrar (Stamps Registrar as you said) is given an undervaluation notice to you, then in reply you put your valid reasons in it. The Sub Registrar will give you final orders as he thinks fit. If the final orders in your favour, it is ok. Otherwise after receipt final orders, you have to file appeal to Commissioner/IG of Registrations. His orders are final.
