In February, the state assembly passed the Indian Stamp (Mizoram Amendment) Bill, 2024, which seeks to hike stamp duty from 1 per cent to 3 per cent of the property.

The stamp duty is levied for the purchase of land or house plots, bank mortgages and gifts, according to land revenue and settlement minister B Lalchhanzova.

Vanlalmawia said the government is also exploring the feasibility of setting up a revenue court in the state.

Apart from the Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC) area, an online tax payment system will be introduced in all the districts from the next fiscal, he said.

He said that 3,59,331 RoRs have been computerised and 1,155 digitally signed property cards, as well as 94,154 land parcel identification numbers, have been issued so far. (PTI)
