Buying a home in Indore: stamp duty, loan, prices

Duty not computed here · RBI loan rate · RBI and NHB price indices.

In short

Stamp duty is not computed for Madhya Pradesh: its rate pages cannot be read from outside India. Across the RBI's 18 cities, house prices rose +3.6% over a year (Q1:2026-27 (April-June 2026)). A bank lends at most 80% of a ₹50 lakh home (RBI); the average rate on new housing loans was 7.68% in September 2026.

If you sell

Capital gain and the tax on it

Same rule in every state: the Income-tax Act applies across India.

Capital gain₹20,00,000
Type of gainLong-term (held over 24 months)
Rate12.5%
Tax on the gain₹2,50,000

Long-term gain taxed at 12.5% without indexation (Income-tax Act 2025, section 197(1), sale on or after 1 April 2026), before surcharge and cess. Home bought before 23 July 2024 by a resident individual or HUF: 20% with indexed cost at most (section 197(3)).

Gain = sale price − purchase price, before deductible costs. Brokerage, reinvestment exemptions and TDS are not included.

Indore against the rest of India

Neither the NHB press release nor the list of the RBI's 18 cities carries Indore, so Payotte has no price movement to report for it, and gives none rather than borrowing another city's.

Where Payotte reads the rates, the duty on a ₹50 lakh home runs from ₹2,50,000 in Uttarakhand (5% of the price) to ₹5,00,000 in Puducherry (10%): seven states and union territories out of 36, which leaves Madhya Pradesh off that scale.

Indore lies at 22.7°N, 75.8°E. The nearest of the other 43 cities is Bhopal, 170 km to the east, then Vadodara (275 km, west) and Ahmedabad (335 km, west), as the crow flies. No other city on Payotte lies within 150 km. The farthest is Guwahati, 1,655 km away. The closest city with a RESIDEX figure is Ahmedabad, 335 km away, at +7.9%: a neighbour's number, not Indore's own.

Madhya Pradesh has one other city on Payotte: Bhopal. None of them has a RESIDEX figure either.
