I am buying a plot in Faridabad and want to know the stamp duty and property registration procedure under state law?

Detailed Legal Analysis

When purchasing a plot in Faridabad, the stamp duty and property registration procedures are governed by the Haryana Stamp Act, 2008, and the Registration Act, 1908.

Here’s a detailed overview of the stamp duty and property registration process:

• Stamp Duty:
  • The stamp duty in Haryana for registration of property is generally 7% of the total consideration amount for urban areas, including Faridabad.
  • If the property is being transferred between family members or through a gift deed, the stamp duty may be reduced.
  • Additional charges may apply based on the property type (residential, commercial, etc.).
  • Refer to the Haryana Stamp Department website for updated rates and exemptions.
• Property Registration Procedure:
  • Prepare the sale deed, which must be executed on a non-judicial stamp paper of value equal to the determined stamp duty.
  • Ensure all necessary documents are available, including:
    • Title deed of the seller
    • Identity proof of both buyer and seller
    • Property tax receipts
    • No objection certificates (if applicable)
  • Visit the local registrar's office in Faridabad with the prepared sale deed and necessary documents.
  • Both the buyer and seller must be present for the registration process.
  • Pay the applicable stamp duty and registration fee at the registrar's office. The registration fee in Haryana is typically 1% of the property value.
  • After payment, the registrar will verify documents and proceed with the registration of the sale deed.
  • A receipt will be issued post-registration, and the sale deed will be available in the public records.
• Post-Registration:
  • It is advisable to obtain a copy of the registered sale deed for your records.
  • Ensure that the property is mutated in the land records to reflect your ownership, which can be done at the local municipal office.
