Noida stamp duty latest news update

Flat registration, stamp duty calculation must be done on carpet area basis: Noida Authority

Home buyers have welcomed the move by the Authority, saying it would lower their stamp duty burden.

The registration of flats in Noida will only be done, based on the carpet area, instead of super built-up area, the Noida Authority has said. The directive by the Noida Authority comes as a relief to home buyers in Noida, who have been complaining that builders often use the super built-up area to price houses and calculate stamp duty at the time of property registration. This significantly increases the cost of home purchase for the buyer.

It begs mention here that stamp duty is calculated, based on the size of the property. The size of a flat would always be bigger when it is expressed in super built-up area terms. The size of the flat would be smaller when expressed in carpet areas terms.

This basically means that buyers have to bear higher stamp duty and registration charges at the time of flat registration, if the area of their unit is calculated as per the super built-up area. If the stamp duty is calculated based on the super built-up area of the flat, the stamp duty could be higher in the range of Rs 1 lakh to Rs 3 lakhs for a flat priced up to Rs 50 lakhs.

Also recall here that the real estate law (RERA) has mandated that builders sell flats by expressing its size in carpet areas terms and not in built-up area or super built-up areas terms.

Carpet area versus super built-up area

Recall here that the carpet area is the area in your flat where you can lay a carpet while the super built-up area of the flat includes common areas which are not exclusively allocated to the buyer.

According to the UP RERA, the carpet area is the net usable floor area in your flat, and does not include the area covered by external walls, service shafts, balconies, verandahs and open terraces.

“According to the RERA, developers should sell a unit on the basis of carpet area and not on the super area. The developer should make an agreement with a buyer based on the carpet area; if he does the registry of a flat on the super area, it is against the law. Be it agreement, sale or registry, if it is not determined by the carpet area, then it is illegal. Since Noida authority is a party in the sub-lease deed process, its circular (on registration of flats) will benefit customers. It was much needed to put an end to all confusions,” says UP RERA chairman Rajive Kumar.

“Super built-up area is the big number, which developers prefer to market their projects with. It is the number they arrive at, by adding common areas with built-up areas. Super built-up area is also known as the saleable area, because it becomes a yardstick for developers to quote their buyers,” says Vijay Verma, CEO, Sunworld Group.
