Plot registry charges in Rajasthan, with a worked example
By Vikas Jyani, proprietor of Parakh. Checked on 1 Nov 2026.
When you register a plot's sale deed in Rajasthan, you pay the government three things: stamp duty, a surcharge on that duty, and a registration fee. For a man buying a plot valued above ₹10 lakh, that comes to 8.98% of its value. For a woman it's 7.65%.
The rates
On a plot valued above ₹10 lakh:
| Who's buying | Stamp duty | Surcharge | Reg. fee | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A man | 6% | 1.98% | 1% | 8.98% |
| A woman | 5% | 1.65% | 1% | 7.65% |
| A woman who is SC, ST or BPL | 4% | 1.32% | 1% | 6.32% |
| A person with a disability | 5% | 1.65% | 1% | 7.65% |
On a plot valued at ₹10 lakh or less, the totals are 8.8% for a man, 7.5% for a woman, 6.2% for a woman who is SC, ST or BPL, and 7.5% for a person with a disability.
- Stamp duty and registration fee: from e-Panjiyan's rates sheet, dated 25 Jan 2023. There is also a small CSI fee of ₹200 or ₹300.
- Surcharge: 33% of the stamp duty, or 30% if the value is ₹10 lakh or less. It went up in the Rajasthan Finance Act 2026, section 5, in the Gazette of 27 Mar 2026.
Many pages still say 8.2% or 8.8% for a man. They leave out part of the surcharge, or were written before 2026.
A worked example: a ₹25 lakh plot
| A man | A woman | |
|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty | ₹1,50,000 | ₹1,25,000 |
| Surcharge, 33% of the duty | ₹49,500 | ₹41,250 |
| Registration fee, 1% | ₹25,000 | ₹25,000 |
| Total, plus the CSI fee | ₹2,24,500 | ₹1,91,250 |
The same plot costs a woman ₹33,250 less to register.
If the DLC value is higher than your price
Duty is charged on the higher of the deed's price and the plot's market value, and the DLC rate works as a floor. If you agree ₹25 lakh and the plot's DLC value is ₹28 lakh, a man pays ₹1,68,000 + ₹55,440 + ₹28,000 = ₹2,51,440.
At ₹10 lakh, where the surcharge is 30%, a man pays ₹60,000 + ₹18,000 + ₹10,000 = ₹88,000.
Buying in a woman's name
The lower rate is for a woman buying. We couldn't find the official line on a deed in the joint names of a woman and a man, so ask the sub-registrar's office before you decide whose names go on the deed.
What this doesn't include
These are the government's charges on the deed. They don't include a document writer's or a lawyer's fees, or a name transfer or lease charges at JDA. Parakh's fee is separate too. The buyer usually pays the registry charges, but the sale agreement should say who pays.
Where this comes from
We read both links above on 1 Nov 2026. Both are official texts: e-Panjiyan's rates sheet, and the Rajasthan Finance Act 2026 on PRS. The rates sheet is the newest we found, so check the rates at the sub-registrar's office before you register.
This is general information, not legal advice. Rates and rules change, so look at the official source or ask an advocate before you act on it.
