Stamp duty and registration charges in Delhi (NCT)
Duty applies to the asking price or the government circle rate — whichever is higher. So this is a floor, not the bill.
Rates: Revenue Department, Government of NCT of Delhi, October 2026. They change — check the current schedule. The sub-registrar sets the final amount.
| Buyer | Stamp duty | Registration fee |
|---|---|---|
| Man | 6% | 1% (no cap) |
| Woman | 4% | 1% (no cap) |
| Joint (man + woman) | 5% | 1% (no cap) |
What that works out to
On a ₹50,00,000 property in Delhi (NCT), bought by a man: stamp duty ₹3,00,000 plus a registration fee of ₹50,000 — ₹3,50,000, about 7% of the price. A woman or a joint buyer pays the rate in the table above.
That is an example, not your bill: the duty is worked out on your own agreed price or the circle rate, whichever is higher.
