Stamp duty in Rajasthan (2026)

How stamp duty works in Rajasthan

Rajasthan's stamp duty looks moderate on paper and costs more in practice. The basic rate on a sale deed is 6% for men and joint buyers, 5% for women and 4% for women from SC, ST or BPL categories. On top of that the state charges surcharges calculated on the duty: 20% under one head and an infrastructure surcharge that went up from 10% to 13% under a notification of 11 February 2026. With 33% added, a man's effective duty is 7.98%. The registration fee is 1%. The value used is the higher of the price or the DLC rate for the area.

The 2026 change is small per deal but easy to miss in cost sheets prepared before February. On a ₹60 lakh flat it adds ₹10,800 for a male buyer.

For a ₹60 lakh flat in Jaipur, a man pays basic duty of ₹3,60,000 plus surcharge of ₹1,18,800, a total of ₹4,78,800. A woman pays ₹3,00,000 plus ₹99,000, or ₹3,99,000. The registration fee is ₹60,000 in both cases, with a ₹300 scanning fee. A couple on a joint deed pays at the male rate. For the male buyer the total therefore comes to ₹5,38,800 plus the scanning fee, close to 9% of the price, which is more than many buyers expect from a state with a 6% headline rate.

Stamp duty is paid online through e-GRAS, Rajasthan's government receipt system, or by e-stamp paper, and the deed is registered after an appointment booked on e-Panjiyan. Documents worth more than ₹50 lakh are subject to a compulsory site inspection, and those between ₹10 lakh and ₹50 lakh may be picked at random. A practical tip: if a woman in the family is to own the flat, registering it in her sole name saves ₹79,800 on a ₹60 lakh purchase. Adding a male co-owner removes the concession entirely.
