November 9th, 2010 - 9:28 pm ICT by IANSChandigarh, Nov 9 (IANS) The Haryana government Tuesday announced a one percent reduction in stamp duty for serving and retired defence personnel purchasing a residential property, dwelling unit or plot in the state.

“Haryana is the largest contributor of personnel to the Armed Forces and has about 4.37 lakh (437,000) serving and retired defence personnel,” the spokesman said.
