The Maharashtra state government exceeded its stamp duty and registration revenue target for the 2022-23 financial year, collecting ?43,289 crore, aided by a buoyant real estate market and a rise in the metro cess. However, officials are doubtful if the rally will continue in 2023-24 due to a 25% hike in EMI and a decline in the number of documents registered for flats in the last few months. The decision to not increase the ready reckoner rate for 2023-24 would also lead to a drop in revenue, but an amendment to the Maharashtra Stamp Act to raise the value of bond papers may help.
