How a property registry works in MP 2026: the process, documents and full cost

24 September 2026

The full process of registering a plot or flat in Indore or Bhopal — the SAMPADA 2.0 slot, the documents you need, and the real cost of 12.5% (10.5% for women).

Where a registry happens

A plot, house or flat is registered at the sub-registrar’s office, where the sale deed is stamped by the state and entered in the permanent record. In Madhya Pradesh the whole process is now tied to the SAMPADA 2.0 portal.

Three things are settled before the registry — the property’s guideline rate, the stamp duty due on it, and a time slot at the sub-registrar’s office.

The process, step by step

A registry generally moves through these steps:

1. Guideline rate	Find the property’s minimum value from your colony/location’s notified collector guideline rate.
2. Stamp duty	Work out 12.5% on that value (10.5% for a woman’s name).
3. SAMPADA 2.0	Fill the details on the portal, pay the e-stamp/fees and book a slot.
4. The office	Attend the sub-registrar’s office at the slot — parties, witnesses and biometrics.
5. Registered deed	After signatures and biometrics, the registered sale deed is issued.

Both the guideline rate and the stamp duty come out in seconds from the calculators linked below.

Documents you need

You generally need identity proof for both buyer and seller (Aadhaar, PAN), passport-size photos, the drafted sale deed, the e-stamp, and the property’s earlier papers (prior deed, khasra/khatauni or diversion). Two witnesses are also required.

If the deal is ₹50 lakh or above, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS under Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act. Confirm the full list at your sub-registrar’s office.

The full cost of a registry

Most sites say a registry in Madhya Pradesh costs 10.5%. The Department’s own list does not — five heads on a sale deed add up to 12.5%: stamp 5% + urban body 3% + janpad 1% + cess 0.5% + registration 3%.

In a woman’s name the registration fee is 1% instead of 3%, so the total is 10.5%. The registration fee is at least ₹1,000, however small the amount.

The local-body heads are applied by the sub-registrar according to the property’s jurisdiction. The clauses that affect valuation (corner plot, main road, floor, age and so on) are named in the notification, but their percentages are not published publicly — so the final figure is settled at the sub-registrar’s office.

Work out your own cost

A normal sale registry in Indore or Bhopal still costs 12.5%. Use these to see the exact figure for your location:

Common questions

Who does the registry?

The sub-registrar, an officer of the Department of Registration and Stamps. The sale deed is registered at that office.

Is a registry fully online?

No. The guideline rate, e-stamp and slot are online on SAMPADA 2.0, but you must visit the sub-registrar’s office for signatures and biometrics.

How much does a registry cost?

On a normal sale it is 12.5%, and 10.5% when the deed is entirely in a woman’s name. It is charged on the property’s guideline/sale value.
