Do you plan to buy a property in Gurgaon? Read on here to know about the stamp duty and registration charges in Gurgaon to dodge the financial strain later.

When a property is purchased, it is imperative to register the property in the name of the buyer in the Registrar’s office. The registration affirms the legal ownership of the property to the buyer and minimises the chances of fraud since it can be used as a legal document in the event of a dispute. However, the entire registration process entails a plethora of documents along with the payment of an additional fee, i.e. registration fee and stamp duty. Registration fee is the cost levied by the government to record the property details, and stamp duty is the tax levied on the legal recognition of the property documents.

In Gurgaon, the sale deed is registered at the Sub-Registrar’s Office in whose jurisdiction the property is situated. The registration should be duly complied with within four months of the execution of the sale deed along with all the necessary documents. The Sub-Registrar scrutinises the documents and issues the registration certificate. However, the stamp duty and registration charges depend on the ownership type and the transaction value of the property.
