Stamp duty and the registration fee are the two biggest costs you pay on top of the flat price when you buy property in Delhi. Here is how they work, with worked examples and a calculator.

What are the stamp duty rates in Delhi?

BuyerStamp dutyRegistration feeTotal
Man6%1% + ₹100about 7%
Woman4%1% + ₹100about 5%
Man and woman jointly5%1% + ₹100about 6%

These are the rates for the "other areas of Delhi" category, which our calculator uses. Ask your lawyer or the sub-registrar to confirm which category applies to your property.

How is stamp duty calculated?

Stamp duty is charged on the higher of:

  1. the price written in the sale deed, and
  2. the circle-rate value of the property (the minimum value set by the Delhi Government for that category of locality).

If you agree a price below the circle-rate value, you still pay duty on the circle-rate value.

How much will you pay on a typical flat?

Here is what you would pay in total (stamp duty + registration) on flats at ₹35 lakh, ₹50 lakh and ₹65 lakh:

Stamp duty + 1% registration fee + ₹100 pasting fee. Estimates only.

How much do women buyers save?

The 2% lower stamp duty for women adds up. On a ₹50 lakh flat, a woman pays ₹2 lakh in stamp duty and a man pays ₹3 lakh: a saving of ₹1 lakh. If a woman in your family is buying, alone or jointly, ask your lawyer how the ownership should be set up.
