Stamp duty city by city in Gujarat
The rate is set by the state, so it does not change from one city to the next. What changes is local practice — deposit sizes, whether people register, and which office has jurisdiction. Jump to Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara.
Ahmedabad
Residential hubs like SG Highway, Bopal and Satellite use 1.7% of annual rent. E-stamping is processed via the GARVI portal or designated bank branches across Ahmedabad.
Surat and Vadodara
Follow the same 1.7% statewide schedule. Deposits of 2–3 months are standard and do not inflate the duty since duty is based on annual rent.
