How Delhi Property Registration Charges Work (Official Rule)
In Delhi, property registration requires paying 6% stamp duty for male buyers (4% basic stamp duty + 2% MCD transfer duty), 4% for female buyers (3% basic + 1% transfer duty), and 5% for joint ownership, plus a flat 1% registration fee. Stamp duty is levied on whichever is higher: the agreement sale price or the government circle rate valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions (Delhi Property Stamp Duty)
What is the stamp duty and registration charge in Delhi?+
In Delhi, property registration charges depend on the gender of the buyer: male buyers pay 6% total stamp duty (4% basic stamp duty + 2% MCD transfer duty), female buyers pay 4% total stamp duty (3% basic stamp duty + 1% transfer duty, saving 2%), and joint owners pay 5%. In addition to stamp duty, a flat 1% registration fee and ₹100 pasting fee are payable.
How do Delhi Circle Rates (Category A to H) impact stamp duty?+
Delhi divides all residential localities into 8 categories (A to H). Under the Indian Stamp Act, stamp duty is payable on whichever is higher: the declared sale consideration in the agreement or the minimum circle rate valuation (Area in sq.m × Category Rate). If you buy a flat below the circle rate, the sub-registrar will levy stamp duty on the higher circle rate value.
What are the current circle rates across Category A to H in Delhi?+
The notified circle rates are: Category A (Golf Links, Vasant Vihar, Jor Bagh): ₹7,74,000/sq.m; Category B (GK, Defence Colony, Hauz Khas): ₹2,45,960/sq.m; Category C (Lajpat Nagar, Alaknanda, Civil Lines): ₹1,59,840/sq.m; Category D (Dwarka, Janakpuri, Rohini): ₹1,27,680/sq.m; Category E (Chandni Chowk, Paharganj): ₹70,080/sq.m; Category F (Anand Parbat, Okhla): ₹56,640/sq.m; Category G (Sultanpur, Timarpur): ₹46,200/sq.m; Category H (Najafgarh rural): ₹23,280/sq.m.
How much money does a female buyer save on Delhi property registration?+
A female buyer receives a statutory 200 basis points (2.0%) rebate on total stamp duty (paying 4% instead of 6%). On a property valued at ₹1 Crore, a female buyer pays ₹4,00,000 in stamp duty compared to ₹6,00,000 for a male buyer, saving an exact ₹2,00,000.
Is TDS under Section 194-IA separate from Delhi stamp duty?+
Yes. When purchasing any immovable property in Delhi valued at ₹50 Lakhs or more, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS under Section 194-IA from the seller and deposit it with the Income Tax Department via Form 26QB. This 1% TDS is completely distinct from the 6%/4% Delhi government stamp duty and 1% registration fee.
