Before buying or registering property in Uttarakhand, it’s essential to understand the stamp duty and registry charges applicable in your area. These government fees legally validate property ownership and are mandatory for all real estate transactions—whether it’s a house, flat, plot, or commercial property.
In this guide, you’ll learn the latest stamp duty rates, registration fees, and how they vary for men, women, and joint ownership across different districts like Dehradun, Nainital, and Haldwani.
Stamp Duty & Registration Charges in Uttarakhand (2025)
| Ownership Type | Stamp Duty | Registration Fee | Total Effective Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male Owner | 7% | 2% | 9% |
| Female Owner | 5% | 2% | 7% |
| Joint Ownership (Male + Female) | 6% | 2% | 8% |
💡 Note: The percentage is calculated on the circle rate or actual transaction value, whichever is higher.
Example – Plot Registry in Dehradun
Suppose you buy a residential plot worth ₹50,00,000 in Dehradun.
- Male buyer: 7% of ₹50,00,000 = ₹3,50,000 (Stamp Duty)
- Registration Fee: 2% = ₹1,00,000
✅ Total = ₹4,50,000 - Female buyer: 5% + 2% = ₹3,50,000
✅ You save ₹1,00,000 by registering in a woman’s name.
District-wise Rate Variation
Stamp duty percentages stay constant across Uttarakhand, but circle rates differ from one district to another.
That difference changes your final payable amount.
| City / District | Approx. Circle Rate (₹ per sq. m.) | Effective Cost (7–9%) |
|---|---|---|
| Dehradun | ₹40,000 – ₹1,00,000 | ₹2.8–₹9 lakh on ₹1 cr property |
| Haldwani | ₹25,000 – ₹75,000 | ₹1.7–₹6.7 lakh |
| Nainital | ₹30,000 – ₹85,000 | ₹2.1–₹7.6 lakh |
| Almora / Pithoragarh | ₹15,000 – ₹50,000 | ₹1–₹4.5 lakh |
