Understanding Stamp Duty & Registration in Delhi

In the National Capital Territory of Delhi, property transfers are regulated by the Indian Stamp (Delhi Amendment) Act under the Revenue Department. The state offers a structured, gender-progressive schedule: 6% for sole male buyers, 4% for sole female buyers (a 2% concession), and 5% for joint male-female co-owners.

Properties in Delhi are evaluated against an 8-tier locality classification (Category A+ down to Category H). In addition to the base stamp duty, registration charges are 1% plus a statutory ₹100 pasting fee. Buyers should also verify whether the 1% MCD Transfer Duty applies to their specific ward for properties valued above ₹25 Lakhs.

Rate Breakdown & Calculation Mechanics

Male buyers in Delhi pay 6% stamp duty + 1% registration fee (+ ₹100 pasting fee) = 7% total. Female buyers pay 4% stamp duty + 1% registration fee = 5% total. Joint owners (Male + Female) pay 5% stamp duty + 1% registration = 6% total. If the 1% MCD transfer duty is applicable for properties above ₹25L, effective rates become 7% / 5% / 6% respectively.

Circle Rate & Valuation Rules

Delhi classifies all registered colonies into Categories A through H. Category A includes premium neighborhoods like Golf Links and Vasant Vihar with circle rates exceeding ₹7.74 Lakhs per sq. metre, scaling down to Category H (approx. ₹23,000/sq.m). Structural age multipliers apply on built-up areas.
