Maharashtra Government after witnessing the stagnant real estate sector hit by the coronavirus pandemic stamp duty reduction on flat registrations by 3 % till 31st December 2020, and 2 % from January 2021 to March 2021. It was a strong move for the realty sector as well as the homebuyers. Builders urged the government to take action by reducing stamp duty and other premiums and taxes to revive sales and attract home buyers.

The real estate industry has been unprecedented with property transactions dipping to near-zero during the nationwide lockdown due to novel coronavirus. With over 734K corona cases in Maharashtra, it is amongst the worst affected state by COVID-19 in the country. For Mumbai and Pune real estate developers, the reduction in stamp duty is a much-awaited measure taken by the state government. Though the reduction in stamp duty is temporary, it is a strong move against the dampened real estate market hit by coronavirus pandemic and will help in reviving the property sales as it encourages people to buy sooner rather than later.
