What is Stamp Duty?
The state tax paid on a deed's value before registration.
Stamp duty in Uttarakhand is charged on the deed value or the circle-rate value, whichever is higher - currently 5% for men and 3.75% for women buyers, plus a registration fee of 2% (capped at ₹25,000) as of 2025. It is paid via e-stamp; the SRO verifies it at registration. Under-stamping is penalised heavily and can void enforcement of the deed.
