Abstract: The *Stamp Duty Ready Reckoner & Market Value of Properties in Mumbai* has completed 16 years of continuous publication, thanks to the dedication of its authors, Santosh Kumar and Sunit Gupta. This annual guide is a vital resource for anyone involved in property transactions in Mumbai. It provides updated information on property values, stamp duty, and registration fees, including detailed village maps and valuation factors for different types of buildings. The reckoner also features practical information such as addresses, contact numbers, and timings of stamp duty and registration offices, making it accessible even to laypersons without the need for consultants. In response to government initiatives like the deemed conveyance scheme and fraud prevention measures, the reckoner incorporates relevant changes, including the introduction of online appointments and e-payment options for greater convenience. Its credibility has led government departments such as the Income Tax and Sales Tax departments, and the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, to use it as a standard reference for property valuations. The publication is now an indispensable tool for property buyers, builders, estate agents, solicitors, chartered accountants, and registered valuers. The government’s supportive measures and the reckoner’s meticulous presentation have greatly simplified the property registration process. The publishers are commended for their continued commitment to this essential guide.
