Stamp duty and registration charges in Himachal Pradesh
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, Himachal Pradesh, October 2026. They change — check the current schedule. The sub-registrar sets the final amount.
Section 118 rates differ for non-Himachali buyers — ask the sub-registrar.
| Buyer | Stamp duty | Registration fee |
|---|---|---|
| Man | up to ₹50,00,000: 6%; above ₹50,00,000: 8% | 2% (capped at ₹25,000) |
| Woman | up to ₹50,00,000: 4%; above ₹50,00,000: 8% | 2% (capped at ₹25,000) |
| Joint (man + woman) | up to ₹50,00,000: 5%; above ₹50,00,000: 8% | 2% (capped at ₹25,000) |
What that works out to
On a ₹50,00,000 property in Himachal Pradesh, bought by a man: stamp duty ₹3,00,000 plus a registration fee of ₹25,000 — ₹3,25,000, about 6.5% 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.
