Considering the rates are comparatively high in Ghaziabad, there is scope for the state government to cut stamp duty in the city, which is known primarily for its affordable properties.
In 2020, the Uttar Pradesh RERA recommended that the state announce a stamp duty reduction of 2%, to encourage home buyers. However, this suggestion has so far remained unheeded.
