Current Sale Deed Charges: Stamp Duty in Rajasthan (2026)
| Component | Male buyer | Female buyer | What it means in simple words |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty (base) | 6% of value | 5% of value | The main tax you pay when a property is transferred into your name. |
| Labour cess (20% of stamp duty) | Applicable | Applicable | A welfare fund for construction workers. It is charged on the stamp duty amount, not on the property price. |
| Registration fee | 1% of value | 1% of value | The office charge for entering your deed in the government record at the Sub Registrar Office. |
| Surcharges (2026 revision) | Applicable | Applicable | An extra amount added on the stamp duty after the 2026 revision, which is why totals are higher than older estimates. |
| Total sale-deed charge | ≈ 8.98% | ≈ 7.65% | This is the figure to keep aside in your budget, over and above the property price. |
Rates are uniform across Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kota and the rest of Rajasthan. Registering in a woman’s name (sole or joint) lowers the rate from ~8.98% to ~7.65% — a meaningful saving. Because the 2026 revision raised the payable amount above older online estimates, always confirm the final figure on the official e-Panjiyan portal or at the Sub-Registrar Office.
Property Charges Breakdown: Where Your Money Actually Goes
The single number 8.98% can feel confusing, so here is the same amount split into its four parts. The example uses a property valued at ₹50 lakh.
| Charge | How it is worked out | Male buyer (₹50 lakh) | Female buyer (₹50 lakh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty | 6% or 5% of property value | ₹3,00,000 | ₹2,50,000 |
| Labour cess | 20% of the stamp duty amount | ₹60,000 | ₹50,000 |
| Surcharge (2026) | Approx. 13% of the stamp duty amount | ₹39,000 | ₹32,500 |
| Registration fee | 1% of property value | ₹50,000 | ₹50,000 |
| Total payable | Sum of the four rows above | ₹4,49,000 | ₹3,82,500 |
Notice that the labour cess and the surcharge are calculated on the stamp duty, not on the price of the property. That is why the total works out to about 8.98% rather than a flat 6%.
How the charges are calculated
Charges apply to the higher of the actual transaction value or the DLC (District Level Committee) rate — the government-notified minimum value for that locality. You cannot register below the DLC rate.
Worked examples (Jaipur, 2026)
| Property value | Male buyer (≈ 8.98%) | Female buyer (≈ 7.65%) |
|---|---|---|
| ₹50 lakh | ≈ ₹4,49,000 | ≈ ₹3,82,500 |
| ₹75 lakh | ≈ ₹6,73,500 | ≈ ₹5,73,750 |
| ₹1 crore | ≈ ₹8,98,000 | ≈ ₹7,65,000 |
These are indicative totals at the 2026 sale-deed rates. The exact payable amount is confirmed on e-Panjiyan based on the applicable DLC rate.

How to Pay Stamp Duty and Register Your Property
- Find the value. Calculate the property value using the applicable DLC rate for that locality.
- Pay online. Pay the stamp duty through e-GRAS, the Rajasthan Government Receipt Accounting System, and save the challan.
- Book a slot. Book a registration appointment through e-Panjiyan or Rajnivesh.
- Visit the SRO. Both parties and the witnesses go to the Sub Registrar Office to execute and register the sale deed.
- Collect the deed. The registered deed is your legal proof of ownership. Keep the original safe.
Small habit that saves trouble later: keep the e-GRAS challan, the registration receipt and a scanned copy of the registered deed in one folder. Banks, buyers and tax officers will ask for all three at different times.
Special Rebates and Concessions on Stamp Duty in Rajasthan
| Who is eligible | What the benefit is | Point to check |
|---|---|---|
| Women buyers | A 1% rebate on the standard rate, bringing base stamp duty down from 6% to 5% | Applies whether she is the sole owner or a joint owner. |
| Women from SC, ST or BPL backgrounds | Effective stamp duty of 4% after the specialised rebate | Carry the caste certificate or BPL card to the Sub Registrar Office and claim it at the time of registration. |
| Persons with 40% to 80% disability | Effective stamp duty of 4% | A valid disability certificate showing the percentage is required. |
| Persons with 80% or more disability | Full exemption from stamp duty | The certificate must clearly state the disability is 80% or above. |
| Affordable housing under PMAY or CM Jan Awas | Reduced rate of 0.5% for EWS units and 1% for LIG units | The unit must fall inside the notified scheme and its value limit. Check the category on the allotment letter. |
| Gift deed to a close relative | Heavily reduced duty, and nil in some cases, depending on the relationship | Applies to transfers to a wife, daughter, mother or father. The exact rate changes with the relation, so confirm before drafting. |
| Joint registration with a woman | Reduces the effective rate compared with a male sole buyer | Confirm the exact treatment before execution, as it depends on the share pattern written in the deed. |
The percentages above are base stamp duty rates. Labour cess, surcharge and the 1% registration fee are added on top unless a full exemption applies. The e-Panjiyan portal applies most of these rebates automatically once the property category, gender and buyer details are entered, but you still need to produce the supporting certificate at the Sub Registrar Office.
For verification, please visit the official e-Panjiyan Rajasthan portal. Rebate percentages and eligibility conditions are revised by government notification from time to time. Confirm the rate that applies to your case on epanjiyan.rajasthan.gov.in or at your Sub Registrar Office before you sign or pay.
