How Uttar Pradesh computes it

Rent & lease agreements

The concessional rates notified on 19 November 2025 ran for six months and have lapsed. Uttar Pradesh charges on a rising multiple of one year's rent — three times it up to five years, then four, five, six and seven — the same ladder Uttarakhand inherited when it separated. What is not settled is the percentage applied to it: sources give 2% and 4%. Confirm on IGRSUP.

NDAs & general agreements

A flat ₹100. This covers NDAs, service agreements, and most contracts without their own schedule entry.

Why it matters

An under-stamped agreement is inadmissible as evidence (Section 35, Indian Stamp Act, 1899) and can be impounded, with a penalty of up to 10× the deficit under Section 40. Stamping correctly at execution costs a fraction of fixing it during a dispute.

Uttar Pradesh stamp duty FAQs

Is a Delhi-style ₹50 agreement valid in Noida?

No. Noida is in Uttar Pradesh, which has its own stamp schedule — Delhi’s does not apply across the border. Using a Delhi template for a UP property is one of the most common under-stamping mistakes in the NCR.

How much is rent agreement stamp duty in Uttar Pradesh?

Dharaa does not yet hold a verified lease schedule for Uttar Pradesh, so we will not quote a rate here. Confirm the current figure with the local Sub-Registrar's office or the state revenue portal before you buy stamp paper. The concessional rates notified on 19 November 2025 ran for six months and have lapsed. Uttar Pradesh charges on a rising multiple of one year's rent — three times it up to five years, then four, five, six and seven — the same ladder Uttarakhand inherited when it separated. What is not settled is the percentage applied to it: sources give 2% and 4%. Confirm on IGRSUP.

What does an NDA cost to stamp in Uttar Pradesh?

₹100 in Uttar Pradesh. An NDA carries no monetary consideration, so it attracts the flat agreement duty rather than an ad-valorem rate.
