Registry in a woman’s name in MP 2026: 10.5% vs 12.5%, the saving and the conditions
25 September 2026
In Madhya Pradesh a registry in a woman’s name pays 1% registration instead of 3% — 10.5% in all, against the usual 12.5%. On ₹50 lakh that saves ₹1 lakh.
What the concession is, in one line
If a sale deed is entirely in the name of a woman or women, the registration fee in Madhya Pradesh is only 1% instead of 3%. Stamp duty and the other heads do not change. That brings the total from 12.5% down to 10.5%.
The concession is on the registration fee alone, not on stamp duty — so the saving is exactly 2%.
Side by side — normal vs a woman’s name
The five heads on a sale deed, and how they change for a registry in a woman’s name:
| Government stamp duty | 5% — unchanged |
| Urban body charge | 3% — unchanged |
| Janpad charge | 1% — unchanged |
| Cess (upkar) | 0.5% — unchanged |
| Registration fee | 1% instead of 3% |
| Total | 10.5% instead of 12.5% |
The saving on ₹50 lakh — a worked example
On a ₹50 lakh sale, a normal registry costs 12.5% — ₹6,25,000. The same deal entirely in a woman’s name costs 10.5% — ₹5,25,000.
That is a straight ₹1,00,000 saved, simply from the name on the deed. The larger the amount, the larger the saving.

Conditions — when it applies, when it doesn’t
The concession applies only when the whole deed is in the name of a woman or women. A joint name with a man does not qualify — even if the woman’s share is larger.
In SAMPADA 2.0 the calculation shows this as “all buyers are women?”. If in doubt, confirm against the current notification at the sub-registrar’s office or on SAMPADA, as the terms can change from time to time.

Common questions
Is stamp duty lower too?
No. The concession is only on the registration fee — 1% instead of 3%. Stamp duty stays at 5%, so the total saving is 2%.
Do we get the concession if it is in both husband and wife’s names?
No. A joint name with a man does not qualify. The whole deed must be in the name of a woman or women.
How much do we save on ₹50 lakh?
About ₹1,00,000 — because it is 10.5% instead of 12.5%. The saving rises in proportion to the amount.
