AI SummaryHaryana government has updated its stamp duty rules for affordable housing and small residential plots in the state. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced zero stamp duty on small plots in August 2025, and the state has now fixed a nominal charge of ₹500 each for stamp duty and registration fee on Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) houses up to 60 square metres.
These rules apply to both urban and rural areas. Owners of very small residential plots continue to get full stamp duty exemption, while PMAY-U 2.0 beneficiaries now pay a fixed fee of ₹500 per deed instead of the usual percentage-based stamp duty. The decision will save thousands of rupees for poor and middle-class families buying their first home in Haryana.
