Currently, five per cent is charged as stamp duty fees and one per cent is charged on the purchase of property. In addition, the government introduced one per cent metro cess from April 1.Experts believe that during the next 10 days, the total registrations will be equivalent to those recorded during pre-Covid times, which was an average 6,000 in May alone. In 2018, the total May month's registrations were 6,672, in 2019 they were 6,270, in 2020, 207 and 5,360 in 2021 for the month.

We look forward to setting new standards with our innovative projects that are designed with the end-user in mind.”

The company has undertaken a total construction area of 7,81,753 square feet in these two projects, with the total plot size at 11,677 square metres, while the collective carpet area for sale stands at 2,65,524 square feet.

With upward trend in real estate sector, Arkade group is expecting a topline of Rs 820 crore from these two projects. chairman and managing director, Arkade Group, Amit Jain said, “We are happy to launch the two new redevelopment projects in the suburban areas of Mumbai, as demand for homes continues to remain upbeat.”

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Department of Registration and Stamps has introduced e-registration software only for the newly-purchased properties. However, at present this facility is only available to developers having big projects. The process was made online with an aim to reduce the footfall in offices, especially during the pandemic when it has become necessary to maintain social distancing.
