10 February 2016 Generally it happens in some states, actual market price is less than stamp duty value e.g. Kolkata and Ghaziabad. In such case, though you need to submit the stamp duty according to stamp duty valuation i.e. on 20 lacs but the agreement value can be kept at actual i.e. 15 lacs in your case.
