In Punjab, a man buying property pays 7% stamp duty, a woman pays 5%, and a man and woman buying jointly pay 6%. The headline rates include the social infrastructure cess and the Punjab Infrastructure Development Board component. A registration fee of 1% is added, capped at ₹2 lakh.

Punjab stamp duty rates

Duty is charged on the higher of the deal price and the collector rate for the area.

Registration charges in Punjab

The registration fee is 1% of the property value, with a maximum of ₹2 lakh for sale and gift deeds. Small facilitation charges (₹1,000 up to ₹10 lakh, ₹3,000 for ₹10–30 lakh, ₹5,000 above ₹30 lakh) and a ₹200 pasting fee are also collected.

How stamp duty is calculated in Punjab

Compare your agreed price with the collector rate value of the property and apply the rate for your buyer category to the higher figure.

Example: a woman buys a house in Mohali for ₹70 lakh. Stamp duty at 5% is ₹3.5 lakh, the registration fee at 1% is ₹70,000, and the facilitation charge is ₹5,000, about ₹4.25 lakh in all.

Concessions and special cases

• Women pay 2% less than men.
• Transfers of property to blood relations are exempt from stamp duty under Punjab’s rules; registration charges still apply.
• Mutual exchange of property within the family attracts only a small fixed duty.

How to pay stamp duty in Punjab

1. Buy an e-stamp online through SHCIL e-stamping (select Punjab), or at an authorised collection centre.
2. Prepare the deed and book an appointment on the Punjab e-registration portal, igrpunjab.gov.in.
3. Visit the sub-registrar’s office with buyer, seller and witnesses.
4. Apply for mutation (a fee applies) so the Jamabandi shows the new owner.

Documents you need at registration

• Sale deed draft, printed on or attached to the e-stamp certificate
• Identity and address proof of buyer, seller and two witnesses (Aadhaar, PAN)
• Previous title deed and latest land record extract or khata/property tax receipt
• Passport-size photographs of buyer and seller
• Encumbrance or no-dues certificate where the sub-registrar asks for it
• Power of attorney, if someone is signing on another person’s behalf

Before you pay

• Check ownership and land details through our Punjab Jamabandi guide.
• Decide whose name(s) go on the deed before buying the e-stamp; the rate depends on it.
• For a new project, check its registration with Punjab RERA.
• Work out the total in advance with the Housepartner stamp duty calculator, and compare other states in our state-wise stamp duty guide.
