The aggregate revenue collection made from 27 states and one union territory of Jammu & Kashmir via stamp duty and registration charges (SD&RCs) was recorded in excess of Rs 1.71 lakh crore during the financial year 2021-22. The revenue collection is up by 34% versus the last year.
The average revenue collection on a monthly basis across these states and union territories during the financial year increased to Rs 14,262 crore. Last year, the average monthly collection stood at Rs 10,646 crore.
With respect to revenue figures, Maharashtra recorded the highest state revenue collection, worth Rs 35,593 crore collected via stamp duty and registration charges. Maharashtra, which comprises India’s largest and most expensive property markets of Pune and Mumbai, contributed about 21% of the all-inclusive SD & RCs revenue of the country.
