Navi Mumbai, the planned city across the harbour from Mumbai, has become one of the most sought-after markets in the region, from Vashi and Nerul to the fast-growing nodes of Kharghar, Panvel and Ulwe. Whatever you buy there, two government charges sit on top of the price you negotiate: stamp duty and a registration fee. Together they add about 7 to 8 percent to your cost.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because Navi Mumbai is part of Maharashtra, the rates follow the state structure, with a metro cess, a local body tax and a 1 percent concession for women. This guide lays out the current 2026 rates, settles the common confusion over whether Navi Mumbai is 7 or 6 percent, shows how to calculate your charges, covers resale flats, and walks you through the GRAS payment process.

What Is Stamp Duty in Navi Mumbai?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Stamp duty in Navi Mumbai is a tax the Maharashtra government levies on the legal instrument (the document) that transfers a right in property, most commonly the sale deed. It is collected under the Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958, and paying it makes your deed legally valid and admissible in court.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Registration is a separate charge under the Registration Act, 1908. The deed is recorded at the local sub-registrar office and entered into the government’s records. Paying stamp duty legalises the document; the registration fee is the charge for recording it. Because Navi Mumbai falls under municipal corporations within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, it also carries a metro cess and, in most areas, a local body tax.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In short: <\/b>stamp duty is the tax on the document, and the registration fee is the charge for recording it. In Navi Mumbai you pay both, along with a metro cess and local body tax, calculated on the higher of your value or the Ready Reckoner Rate.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
