ACCORDING TO MY VIEW NO EXEMTION ON STAMP DUTY FOR LAND & BUILDING ITS MAY BE ADD IN THE VALUE OF PROPERTY

ALSO I SAY THAT THERE IS NO EXEMPION IN 80C FOR STAMP DUTY IN INCOME TAX

Dear b.sreenivasa rao brother

First of all

Exemption is different from Deduction in Income Tax Act

Ans : Yes, He can avail deduction u/s 80C of Income Tax Act,1961

As per 80C(2)(xviii)(d)

(d) stamp duty, registration fee and other expenses for the purpose of transfer of such house property to the assessee

so your frnd can avail deduction 80C.....!!!!!!!!!!

Thaks for oppurtunity

The amount you pay as stamp duty when you buy a house, and the amount you pay for the registration of the documents of the house can be claimed as deduction under section 80C in the year of purchase of the house...
