When a property is registered, stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the transaction value and the value based on the government's circle rate.
Circle rate
Circle rates are minimum values per unit area set by the district administration for different localities and property types. They are revised from time to time.
Stamp duty and registration fee
Rates, concessions and fees are notified by the state government and can change. Always check the current figures on the official IGRS UP portal or with the sub-registrar's office before budgeting.
