Maharashtra Waives Stamp Duty on Siddhivinayak Trust’s Ram Mansion Purchase
The Maharashtra Cabinet approved waiving a 2.32 crore stamp duty on the Siddhivinayak Ganpati Temple Trust's purchase of Ram Mansion Cooperative Housing Society in Mumbai for about 94 crore. The property, adjacent to the temple, includes 20 residential and commercial units over 708 square meters. The trust plans to use it to expand facilities such as queue management, prasad distribution, accommodation, and parking to better serve devotees amid space constraints. The waiver aims to support this public-interest expansion.
