Stamp duty and registration fee, by article
This tells you what Gujarat charges to stamp a document and what it separately charges to register it, for every article the government's own two help files cover. The two charges are published in different documents that never refer to each other, which is why people budget for one and get surprised by the other.
Updated 11 August 2026. Both help files downloaded and read page by page on 11 August 2026. Neither file carries a date of its own, so these are the rates the official calculators applied on that day.
The Gujarat government publishes two separate help files: one explaining what its stamp duty calculator applies, and one explaining what its registration fee calculator applies. Neither document mentions the other. This table joins them, so you can read a document type once and see both charges against it.
53 rows are published below. Where one of the two help files covers an article and the other does not, the missing cell reads UNKNOWN rather than being filled in from somewhere else. 17 of the 53 rows have no registration fee published against them, which is itself worth knowing before you assume a figure.

The two page columns give the printed page number in each help file, so any row can be checked against the source in under a minute.
One more charge, and it is not in either file
If registration happens somewhere other than the sub registrar's office, an additional fee applies. This comes from the department's citizen charter, which carries no date, so it is reported rather than confirmed.
| Where the registration happens | Additional fee |
|---|---|
| A private residence in Ahmedabad | Rs 200 |
| A private residence at any district headquarters | Rs 200 |
| A private residence at any other place | Rs 100 |
| In jail | Rs 100 |

The official source does not split it into a basic duty and a surcharge, so this site does not either, even though several portals publish a split.
