Anurag Sodani • August 3, 2026
Stamp duty and registration charges in Uttarakhand are mandatory costs that every property buyer must pay at the time of registration. Whether you are buying a flat in Dehradun, a house in Haridwar, a plot in Haldwani, or a property in Roorkee, understanding stamp duty and registration charges in Uttarakhand helps you budget accurately before finalising any deal. The Department of Stamps and Registration, Government of Uttarakhand, at registration.uk.gov.in manages all property registrations in the state. This guide covers the latest rates, women buyer concessions, calculation examples, documents required, the online payment process, and the complete registration procedure.
What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp duty is a state government tax levied on property transaction documents — including sale deeds, gift deeds, and conveyance deeds — at the time of registration. In Uttarakhand, it is governed by the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and the Indian Stamp (Uttarakhand Amendment) Act, 2016.
Stamp duty is calculated on the transaction value or the government’s Circle Rate — whichever is higher.
Circle rates by district: Available on registration.uk.gov.in under the “Circle Rates” section for all 13 Uttarakhand districts.
What are Registration Charges?
Registration charges are fees paid to the Department of Stamps and Registration for officially recording the property transaction under the Registration Act, 1908. In Uttarakhand, the registration fee is 2% of the property value — capped at a maximum of ₹25,000.
This cap is highly beneficial for buyers of higher-value properties. For a ₹60 lakh property, you pay only ₹25,000 in registration fee instead of ₹1,20,000.

Women buyer concession:
Female buyers in Uttarakhand receive a 25% concession on stamp duty — paying 3.75% instead of 5%. This concession applies to immovable properties valued up to ₹25 lakh and can be availed a maximum of two times in a lifetime. This limit was introduced by the Uttarakhand Cabinet to prevent misuse of the concession for benami transactions.
