Delhi's Unique Female Concession
Delhi has one of India's largest gender concessions — 2% off for female buyers (4% vs 6%). On a ₹1.5 crore property, this saves ₹3 lakhs in stamp duty. For couples, registering in the wife's name alone (if feasible for the loan) can result in significant savings. Consult a property lawyer about practical implications before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
What is the stamp duty rate in Delhi for 2025–26?
Delhi stamp duty rates 2025–26: Male buyer — 6% of property value. Female buyer — 4% (2% concession). Joint (male+female) — 5%. Registration fee is 1% of property value, capped at ₹1,00,000. So for a ₹1.5 crore property, registration is capped at ₹1 lakh, not ₹1.5 lakhs.
Does Delhi stamp duty apply to DDA flats?
Yes. DDA flats are subject to the same stamp duty as private purchases — 6% (male), 4% (female), 5% (joint). However, for DDA allotments, the stamp duty is usually calculated on the allotment price, not the market value. For resale DDA flats, it is calculated on the circle rate or transaction value, whichever is higher.
What is the circle rate for property in Delhi?
Delhi circle rates vary significantly by area. Category A (Lutyens, Golf Links) can be ₹7.74 lakh/sqmt. Category H (resettlement colonies) may be ₹23,280/sqmt. Stamp duty is charged on circle rate or actual value, whichever is higher. Check the latest rates at revenue.delhi.gov.in.
Is the registration fee in Delhi really capped at ₹1 lakh?
Yes. Delhi registration fee is 1% of property value, subject to a maximum of ₹1,00,000. This makes Delhi's registration fee relatively affordable for high-value properties. For a ₹2 crore property, you pay only ₹1 lakh in registration fees, not ₹2 lakhs. This cap does not apply to stamp duty — that is charged in full.
