✅ This state offers a genuine gender-based concession for a sole woman buyer.
📋 Since the value is ₹50 lakh or more, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS (₹50,000) under Section 194IA and deposit it via Form 26QB within 30 days — this comes out of the payment to the seller, not an extra cost to you.
💡 Up to ₹1,50,000 of your stamp duty + registration can be claimed under Section 80C (old tax regime only, within the overall ₹1.5 lakh limit).
ℹ️ Joint male+female ownership is charged at 5%, between the male (6%) and female-only (4%) rates. (Rates last verified 21 August 2026.)
Stamp duty rates in Delhi
In Delhi, stamp duty is charged at 6% of the higher of your agreement value or the government's circle/guidance rate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the stamp duty rate in Delhi?
Stamp duty in Delhi is 6% of the property's value, or 4% if the property is registered solely in a woman's name. Registration adds a further 1%.
Does Delhi give women a stamp duty concession?
Yes — a sole female buyer pays 4% instead of 6%. The property must be registered solely in the woman's name (or with her as the first-named owner) to qualify; adding a male co-owner may remove the concession.
Is stamp duty calculated on the price I agreed, or the government rate?
Neither alone — it's calculated on whichever is HIGHER: the price in your sale agreement, or the government's circle rate (also called guidance value or ready reckoner rate) for that locality. You cannot register below the circle rate.
Can I claim stamp duty as a tax deduction?
Yes — stamp duty and registration charges on a property purchase are deductible under Section 80C, up to ₹1.5 lakh in the year of purchase, as part of the overall 80C limit. This applies only under the old tax regime.
