How are registration fees calculated when I buy a flat in Ludhiana?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Registration fees in Ludhiana are a percentage of the property value under the Punjab Rent Control Act 1995. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has clarified that registration charges are distinct from stamp duty and cannot be adjusted.

The fee is typically 1% of the consideration. You pay it at the sub-registrar when you present the deed.

Underpayment attracts a penalty up to ten times the deficit. The receipt is needed for mutation and property tax assessment.
