Buyers in Telangana can claim tax benefits on stamp duty and registration charges under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The maximum deduction allowed is Rs. 1,50,000 per financial year (old regime). Beyond this, home loan borrowers can also claim deductions under Section 24(b) (up to Rs. 2 lakh on interest payment).

For any complaints or registration issues, the Telangana Stamps and Registration Department can be reached at its main office: Registration Bhavan, 4th and 5th Floor, 5-3-953, Nizamshahi Road, Osmangunj, M.J. Market, Hyderabad, Telangana – 500001. The Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration and Stamps heads the department and oversees administrative matters. For regional or district-specific queries, the official Telangana Registration Department website provides contact details of senior officers. Buyers should note that non-payment of stamp duty renders a property transaction legally invalid — the document cannot be accepted as evidence in court, and the property transfer cannot be officially recorded, potentially causing serious complications for future resale or inheritance. Given these stakes, verifying accurate stamp duty calculation and completing timely registration through the IGRS portal remains a critical step in any Telangana property purchase.
