In short
On a ₹50 lakh home, stamp duty and registration come to ₹5,00,000 in Kerala, ₹3,50,000 in Odisha and ₹2,60,020 in Chandigarh, and stamp duty alone to ₹3,00,000 in Mumbai (with the 1% metro surcharge). Duty is charged on the higher of the price and the state's reference value (guidance value, circle rate, ready reckoner). Payotte computes only the states whose rates it could read at an official source; for the others, check the state's registration department.
