States in India have been empowered to levy taxes on property transactions, which happens to be the leading sources of revenue generation for local governments in the country. This tax is primarily imposed in the form of stamp duty. The Registration Act, 1908, makes it mandatory for homebuyers to pay stamp duty at the time of property registration.

How to pay stamp duty in Delhi?
With the government introducing e-stamping, stamp duty has to be paid through e-stamping in Delhi. So, there are no offline channels through which this duty could be paid. As the Centre has appointed the Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL) as the agency responsible for all e-stamps in India, buyers will have to visit its official portal, www.shcilestamp.com and make the payment there. SHCIL has authorised collection centres called ACC, which act as the intermediary between the SHCIL and the buyer.
In case you are acting through an ACC, you could pay the stamp duty in cash, as well. You could also pay the fund through cheque/demand draft/pay order/RTGS/NEFT/account to account transfer.
After making the payments, the buyer can book an online appointment with the sub-registrar’s office, by logging on to srams.delhi.gov.in to initiate the registration process.

Transfer charge on property registration in Delhi 2024
Transfer fee is a fee homebuyers in the capital have to pay over and above the stamp duty and registration charges at the time of property registration on gift deed, sale deed and other conveyance deeds. The transfer fee is calculated based on the registration value of the asset.
The Delhi government on July 10, 2023, approved a proposal to hike transfer duty by one percentage point. According to a circular issued on July 10, the new rates are applicable on properties worth over Rs 25 lakh. Properties worth less than that will continue to attract the old rate.
As the new rates kick in, women and transgender homebuyers in Delhi will have to pay 3% transfer duty on property registration as against the previous 2%. Similarly, men buyers will pay 4% transfer duty as against 3%. Authorities have been directed to facilitate the implementation of the hike with immediate effect.
