Notified circle rates in Ghaziabad run from about ₹18,600 per sq m in outer Dasna to ₹1,03,000 per sq m in Kaushambi on roads above 18 m. Indirapuram is ₹85,000, Vaishali and Ramprastha ₹87,000, Vasundhara ₹72,000 at the base band. These were notified on 11–12 September 2024.

11–12 September 2024. Residential, commercial, plot and flat rates rose 15–20% and agricultural rates rose 10%, doubled from the 5% originally proposed for villages including Jagjivanpur, Noorpur and Morta. Wave City and Aditya World City rose by more than 20%.

No — that claim is wrong, and it is on some of the largest property portals. Rates were notified on 11–12 September 2024. The tell-tale is Kaushambi: the stale tables show ₹72,000–79,200 per sq m while the notified rate is ₹93,000–1,03,000. If you budget a registry off the older figure you will be short by roughly 30%.

No. A draft proposing residential plots +5–15%, township flats +35–40%, commercial +20–25% and industrial +15–20% went to public objection on 18–19 September 2025. Around 50 objections were received, the proposal stalled — partly over Harnandipuram, where GDA's planned township left the valuation unresolved — and the 2024 rates were retained for 2025-26. Figures like Indirapuram ₹98,000 or Siddharth Vihar ₹68,000 come from that lapsed draft.

Indirapuram is ₹85,000 per sq m on roads up to 9 m, ₹90,000 for 9–18 m and ₹95,000 above 18 m. Vaishali (Sectors 1–5 and X) is ₹87,000 / ₹92,000 / ₹97,000. Vasundhara (Sectors 1–19) is ₹72,000 / ₹76,000 / ₹80,000. Flats are valued separately: Indirapuram and Vaishali flats at ₹78,935 per sq m, Vasundhara at ₹71,759.

Because the collector's list does exactly that. Ghaziabad notifies plots in ₹ per square metre but flats in ₹ per square yard, and mixing the two is the most common error in published Ghaziabad rate tables. Kaushambi flats are notified at ₹74,000 per sq yard, which is ₹88,503 per sq m. We show both units so the conversion is never in doubt.

Generally yes. Flat rates sit at roughly 90–97% of the plot base rate in the same locality — Vaishali plots ₹87,000 against flats ₹78,935 (90.7%), Indirapuram ₹85,000 against ₹78,935 (92.9%). Wave City inverts, with flats above plots, which is consistent with township group housing being priced above raw plotted land there.

A revision is in train but nothing has been notified. The district began fresh surveys through SDMs and revenue officers across all tehsils in July 2026, and a draft, an objection window and a final notification all still lie ahead. The localities flagged for the largest increases are Raj Nagar Extension, Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Siddharth Vihar, Crossings Republik, Modinagar, Muradnagar, Loni and the Delhi-border belt.

Stamp duty in Ghaziabad is 7% of the circle rate value or the sale price, whichever is higher, plus a 1% registration fee. This is the Uttar Pradesh state rate and applies to every buyer. Women receive a 1% remission capped at ₹1,00,000 on consideration up to ₹1 crore, not a lower rate.

They pay less, but not at a lower rate. Uttar Pradesh notifies a single 7% rate for everyone and grants women a 1% remission capped in rupees. Since July 2025 the cap is ₹1,00,000 on consideration up to ₹1 crore, raised from ₹10,000 on consideration up to ₹10 lakh. The '6% for women' figure published almost everywhere is an approximation that only holds up to ₹1 crore.

This is genuinely unsettled. On the slab reading — how the earlier ₹10 lakh rule worked in practice — she keeps the full ₹1,00,000 benefit regardless of deal size, giving an effective 6.33% on ₹1.5 crore. On the cliff reading, the concession falls away entirely above ₹1 crore and she pays the full 7%. On a ₹1.5 crore property that is a ₹1,00,000 difference. Confirm with your Sub-Registrar before budgeting.

No. The registration fee is 1% of the value with no general cap, and the departmental calculator computes it that way. The ₹20,000 and ₹30,000 figures are stale content still circulating on property blogs. One cap does survive: family and blood-relative transfers carry a registration fee capped at ₹20,000.

Under Rule 5 of the U.P. Stamp (Valuation of Property) Rules, 1997, the minimum value of a plot or house is the full plot area × the land rate, plus the constructed area of each floor × the construction rate for that floor. Land is valued in full whether built on or not. Flats are valued on covered area at the locality flat rate, plus parking and amenity loadings. Commercial buildings use a different method entirely: 300 × the minimum monthly rent.

Yes, and in UP it is not a percentage loading — the notified table itself is published in road-width columns. Gautam Buddh Nagar uses four (up to 12 m, 12–18 m, 18–24 m, above 24 m) and Ghaziabad three (up to 9 m, 9–18 m, above 18 m). Read the column that matches the road your plot fronts rather than applying a percentage to the base rate.

We do not publish one, because it cannot be verified. Corner-plot, park-facing and two-side-open loadings are not in the 1997 Rules — each District Collector sets them in the preamble to the rate list, and no accessible published source states the figure for Ghaziabad. The '10% for corner plots' number circulating online could not be substantiated against any UP government document. Ask your Sub-Registrar or check the preamble to the SRO's PDF.

No. Under Section 47-A the Sub-Registrar must collect the deficit duty before accepting the deed, and the Collector can impose a penalty of up to four times the shortfall plus 18% a year simple interest running from the date of execution. Income tax follows separately: the seller is assessed under Section 78 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 and the buyer under Section 92.

The test is that the stamp duty value must not exceed 110% of the consideration — which is not the same as 'the price must be at least 90% of the circle rate value'. On a ₹1 crore circle rate value, a sale at ₹90,00,000 fails, because ₹1 crore is 111.1% of ₹90 lakh. The price must be at least ₹90,90,910, about 90.91%. The tolerance was raised from 105% to 110% and that increase is treated as retrospective.

Use the UP Stamp and Registration Department's valuation list at igrsup.gov.in. Select your district, then your Sub-Registrar office, enter the captcha and submit — the portal returns that SRO's rate list as a PDF. The locality rates and the loading rules are inside it. Note the portal serves one SRO at a time and is captcha-gated, so there is no bulk download.

A gift to a father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother, sister or grandchild attracts a flat ₹5,000 stamp duty plus ₹1,000 processing, with the registration fee capped at ₹20,000. It applies to residential and agricultural property only, to natural persons only, and the property cannot be re-gifted under the same concession for five years.

No, and confusing them is the single most common error in Ghaziabad property reporting. The Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA authorities publish allotment rates for land they themselves sell, and revise them far more often. Circle rates are notified by the District Magistrate and govern what the Sub-Registrar will register any property at. Several widely-read articles have reported an Authority allotment increase as a 'circle rate hike'.
