80C for stamp duty: only in the year paid:
• Sec 80C(2)(xviii)(d) allows a deduction for stamp duty, registration fee and transfer expenses for the purchase of a residential house, in the year in which they're actually paid. You can't claim it in a later year.
• If you missed it in FY 2022-23, you could revise that year's return within the revision window (ended 31 December 2023). Now it's too late, and ITR-U can't be used to claim a deduction.
• The stamp duty still forms part of the cost of acquisition when you sell the house later (capital gains).
