How this is calculated

Registry charges are the stamp duty, the registration fee and any other official charge you pay to register a property document. Pick the state, the document and who is buying, enter the deal value and, if you know it, the area and the circle rate of your locality.

The value for duty is the higher of your deal value and the circle-rate value. The circle rate is also called the guideline value, ready reckoner rate or collector rate. If you pay less than the circle rate, the state still charges duty on the circle-rate value.

Each charge is shown on its own line: stamp duty, other charges such as a development fee or a cess where the state lists one, and the registration fee, with any cap the state sets. Women's rates and family gift rates are applied only where the state's own page or calculator states them.

Only official rates. We hold verified rates for 4 of 24 states, each with its source and the date we checked it. For every other state the calculator says Rate not verified by us and links the state's own portal, so you can check the rate there. You can also type the rate you found and we work out the total. Bigha and katha are not offered because their size differs from district to district: enter the area in square feet, square metres, gaj (square yards), acres or hectares.

Worked example

A sale deed in Delhi for a property worth ₹1,00,00,000, bought by a man: stamp duty is 6% = ₹6,00,000 and the registration fee is 1% plus ₹100 = ₹1,00,100, so ₹7,00,100 in all.

A sale deed in an urban area of Uttar Pradesh with a deal value of ₹40,00,000 and a circle-rate value of ₹50,00,000, bought by a man: duty is charged on ₹50,00,000, the higher value. Stamp duty is ₹3,43,000, the development fee is ₹7,000 and the registration fee is ₹50,000, so ₹4,00,000 in all.

Common questions

What are registry charges?
Registry charges are the stamp duty, the registration fee and any other official charge you pay to the state to register a property document such as a sale deed, a gift deed or a lease. They are not the fees of a lawyer, a broker or a builder.
How are registry charges calculated?
Stamp duty and the registration fee are a percentage of the value for duty, at the rate the state sets. The value for duty is the higher of your deal value and the circle-rate value. Some documents carry a fixed amount instead.
What is the circle rate?
The circle rate, also called the guideline value, ready reckoner rate or collector rate, is the minimum value the state uses for property in a locality. If your deal value is lower, duty is still charged on the circle-rate value.
Is stamp duty lower for women?
Some states give a lower rate to women buyers, but only some and often up to a limit. Delhi lists 4% for women and 6% for men on a sale deed. Uttar Pradesh gives women 1% less on property up to ₹1 crore. The calculator applies a women's rate only where the state's own source gives it.
Why does the calculator not show a rate for my state?
We show a rate only where the state's own page, notification or calculator gives it. If we could not verify the rate, the calculator says so, links the state's official portal and lets you type the rate yourself. We never guess a rate.
Does the result include a lawyer, broker or builder charges?
No. It shows official government charges only. Ask a lawyer to check your deed and the title of the property before you pay.
What is the stamp duty on a rent agreement?
It depends on the state, the rent and the length of the agreement. We do not yet hold an official rate for rent or lease agreements, so the calculator links the official portal and lets you type the rate.
Where do I pay stamp duty and book the registry?
Pay stamp duty through the state's e-stamp or treasury system and book the registry slot on the state's registration portal. The result lists the official links for your state.

Aksar pooche jaane wale sawaal

Yahi jaankari, Hinglish mein.

Registry kharcha kaise nikalte hain?
Stamp duty aur registration fee, dono deal value aur circle rate mein se jo zyada ho us value par lagte hain. Hum sirf wahi rate dikhate hain jo state ke apne page ya calculator par hai.
Registry mein kitna kharcha aata hai?
Yeh state, document aur buyer par depend karta hai. Apna state chuniye, deal value daliye aur total registry cost dekhiye: stamp duty, registration fee aur doosre sarkari charges alag alag dikhte hain.
Mere state ka rate kyun nahi dikh raha?
Jahan hum official rate verify nahi kar paaye wahan hum 'Rate not verified by us' likhte hain aur state ka official portal dikhate hain. Aap khud rate daal kar bhi total nikal sakte hain.
