Quick answer: Stamp duty on commercial property in Ghaziabad, UP is 7% of the property value. Registration charges are an additional 1%. Total: 8% of property value, paid at the time of registration.
Stamp Duty Rates — Commercial Property in Uttar Pradesh 2026
| Charge | Rate (Ghaziabad, UP) | Who Pays | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamp Duty | 7% of property value | Buyer | At registration |
| Registration Charges | 1% of property value | Buyer | At registration |
| Total | 8% of property value | Buyer | At registration |
Important: Stamp duty is calculated on the higher of (a) the agreement sale price, or (b) the circle rate — the government's minimum reference value for that locality and property type. If circle rates in Kaushambi are lower than the actual sale price, stamp duty is on the sale price. If circle rates are higher, stamp duty is on the circle rate.
Worked Example — Total Cost at Omaxe Kaushambi
Here is a full cost breakdown for a Business Suite at the entry price of ₹55 lakh, showing how all taxes and charges stack:
Business Suite — ₹55 lakh base price (illustrative):
| Item | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Property price | — | ₹55,00,000 |
| GST (under-construction commercial) | 12% | ₹6,60,000 |
| Stamp Duty (UP commercial) | 7% | ₹3,85,000 |
| Registration charges | 1% | ₹55,000 |
| Total all-in cost | — | ₹66,00,000 |
GST applies to the under-construction price. Stamp duty and registration apply at registration (typically near possession). Actual stamp duty basis depends on circle rates at time of registration — verify with Saurabh or your CA. These are illustrative figures for budgeting.
The total all-in cost for a ₹55L Business Suite is approximately ₹66 lakh — about 20% more than the headline property price when you include GST, stamp duty, and registration. Budgeting for only the property price without these charges is a common mistake that creates a funding shortfall at possession time.
When Is Stamp Duty Paid?
Unlike GST (which is collected by the developer as you pay instalments during construction), stamp duty and registration charges are paid at the time of property registration — which typically happens near possession.
For a construction-linked project like Omaxe Kaushambi, this means:
- During construction: you pay the property price in CLP instalments + GST as you go
- At or near possession: you pay stamp duty (7%) + registration (1%) in one go before registration can be completed
- You need ₹4.4 lakh ready at the registration stage for a ₹55L unit (8% × ₹55L)
Plan for this lump-sum well in advance — do not assume your bank loan covers it. Most commercial property loans fund the property price only, not stamp duty and registration.
Is Stamp Duty Different for Male vs Female Buyers?
In Uttar Pradesh, residential property has historically offered a reduced stamp duty rate for female buyers in some districts. This concession does not apply to commercial property — commercial stamp duty is 7% regardless of the buyer's gender.
For joint buyers (husband + wife as co-applicants), stamp duty is still 7% on commercial property. If you are registering jointly, confirm the exact rate for your specific situation with the sub-registrar or a property lawyer at the time of registration.
What Is the Circle Rate for Commercial Property in Kaushambi?
Circle rates for Kaushambi, Ghaziabad are set by the UP government and revised periodically. For commercial property at ISBT Kaushambi, the relevant circle rate is the government reference value for commercial property in the Kaushambi sector of Ghaziabad district.
Since Omaxe Kaushambi prices start from ₹55L for a Business Suite — and given that this is a premium transit-hub address — the actual purchase price is generally higher than the prevailing circle rate for commercial property in the area. This means stamp duty is typically calculated on the actual sale price, not the circle rate.

Can Stamp Duty Be Reduced or Avoided?
Stamp duty on commercial property in UP is a statutory obligation — it cannot be reduced, negotiated, or avoided. Any arrangement that understates the sale consideration in the registration document to reduce stamp duty is illegal and exposes both buyer and seller to penalties under the Stamp Act and Income Tax Act.
There is no UP government scheme exempting stamp duty on commercial property as of 2026. Budget for the full 8% (7% + 1%) at the time you are assessing affordability.
