Stamp duty and registration charges in Pune (2026)
Stamp duty and registration are the largest statutory add-ons when you buy a home in Pune. Here are the 2026 rates, what makes them up, and how much they cost on a real purchase.
Pune stamp duty rates (2026)
In urban Pune (PMC/PCMC) the 7% for men is made up of 5% base stamp duty + 1% metro cess + 1% local body tax. Women get a 1% concession (6%), and joint male+female ownership is charged 6.5%.
| Buyer | Stamp duty | Registration |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 7% | 1% (max ₹30,000) |
| Female | 6% | 1% (max ₹30,000) |
| Joint (male + female) | 6.5% | 1% (max ₹30,000) |
What the components mean
- Base stamp duty (5%): the core duty on the agreement value or ready-reckoner value, whichever is higher.
- Metro cess (1%): a surcharge funding the Pune Metro, mandatory in PMC and PCMC areas.
- Local body tax (1%): levied toward city services and maintenance.
- Registration (1%): fee to register the sale deed, capped at ₹30,000 for properties above ₹30 lakh.
Worked example
On a ₹80 lakh flat: a male buyer pays ₹5,60,000 stamp duty (7%) + ₹30,000 registration = ₹5,90,000. A female buyer pays ₹4,80,000 (6%) + ₹30,000 = ₹5,10,000 — a ₹80,000 saving from the women’s concession.
