So total charges for a male buyer = 7%, female buyer = 5%, joint = 6%. Delhi’s 2% gender gap in stamp duty makes female buyer registration one of the highest savings in India.

How to save stamp duty on property in Delhi?
Register property in wife’s name — 4% (female) vs 6% (male), saving ₹2L per ₹1Cr. For a ₹2Cr property, savings = ₹4L. Alternatively, joint registration (husband+wife) at 5% saves 1% vs sole male registration. Gift deed within family costs only ₹1,000 flat stamp duty (vs ₹6L on ₹1Cr market value purchase).
What is the DORIS portal for Delhi property registration?

Is GST applicable on stamp duty in Delhi?
No — stamp duty and registration are state-government levies, not subject to GST. However, if you purchase an under-construction flat directly from builder, GST (5% for regular, 1% for affordable housing) applies separately on the flat purchase price. Stamp duty + registration then applies on completion/possession.
