How stamp duty works in Delhi
Stamp duty is a state government tax on legal documents — most commonly the sale deed when you buy a property. In Delhi the standard rate is 6% of property value.
Delhi encourages women's property ownership with a 2 percentage point discount for female buyers — 4% instead of 6%. The same discount applies to joint registrations where at least one owner is female (4%).
On top of stamp duty, Delhi charges a registration fee of 1% (no cap), which is paid to the sub-registrar at the time of deed registration.
Note: Female: 4%, joint M+F: 4%, all-male: 6%.
The total upfront cost (stamp duty + registration) is typically 7.00% of property value for male buyers in Delhi, before legal fees, GST on under-construction properties, and any society transfer charges.
