Uttar Pradesh government ki policy ke tahat military veterans aur veer parivaron ko property registry me badi financial relief di jaati hai.

Official Government Order (GO) aur Scheme Kya Hai?
UP me Ex-Servicemen (ESM) aur martyrs ke dependents ke liye stamp duty me chhoot koi informal discount nahi hai, balki yeh Uttar Pradesh Shasan ka official mandate hai:
- Official GO Number: Shasanadesh Sankhya 583/94-2-2018-700(03)/2018, dated 20 June 2018.
- Implementing Authority: Stamp and Registration Department, Uttar Pradesh (IGRSUP).
- Core Mandate: UP ke resident Ex-Servicemen, shaheed sainikon ki veeranaganao (martyrs’ widows), aur unke legal dependents ko property purchase par ₹20 Lakh tak ke valuation par 100% Stamp Duty Exemption di jaati hai.
Agricultural Land (Gaon Ki Kheti Zameen) Par Stamp Duty Ke Rules
Kayi Ex-Servicemen bhaiyon ka sabse bada sawal hota hai: “Agar zameen village (Gram Panchayat) ke under aati hai aur agricultural land hai, toh kya stamp duty same lagegi?”
Iska jawab hai: Exemption ka rule bilkul same hai, lekin base stamp duty rate aur valuation ka tarika alag hota hai.
1. Urban Land vs Rural Agricultural Land: Stamp Duty Rates Ka Antar
Uttar Pradesh me zameen ke location ke hisab se stamp duty ke normal rates me fark hota hai:
| Property Type / Location | Base Stamp Duty | Local Body Surcharge (Nagar Nigam / DA) | Total Normal Stamp Duty Rate | Ex-Servicemen Exemption (Up to ₹20L) |
| Urban / Shahari Area (Nagar Nigam / Palika / Authority) | 5% | 2% (Development Surcharge) | 7% | ₹0 (100% Free) |
| Rural / Village Area (Gram Panchayat – Pure Agricultural) | 5% | 0% (No Urban Surcharge) | 5% | ₹0 (100% Free) |
- Rural Benefit: Gaon ki kheti zameen par 2% ka Development / Nagar Nigam Surcharge nahi lagta. Isliye wahan normal stamp duty 5% hi hoti hai.
- Exemption Benefit: Chahe zameen Shahari (7%) ho ya Gramin Kheti (5%), dono par ₹20 Lakh tak Stamp Duty 100% Maaf (Zero) hoti hai.
2. Kheti Ki Zameen Par Sabse Bada Fayda (Circle Rate Advantage)
Shahar me ₹20 Lakh me shayad 1000 ya 1500 sq.ft ka chhota plot mile, lekin gaon me kheti ki zameen ka circle rate Per Hectare / Per Bigha ke hisab se hota hai.
- Agar kisi gaon me agricultural circle rate ₹10 Lakh per bigha hai, toh ek Fauji bhai 2 Bigha zameen par poori tarah se ZERO stamp duty dekar registry karwa sakte hain!
Agricultural Land Me Dhyan Rakhne Wali 3 Badi Conditions
Agar aap gaon me kheti ki zameen le rahe hain, toh in technical rules ko samajhna bohot zaroori hai:
Condition A: Roadside / Highway Multiplier Rule
Gaon ki zameen agar National Highway, State Highway, ya Main Paved Link Road se judi hoti hai, toh Revenue Department circle rate par 10% se 25% tak ka additional road surcharge lagata hai.
- Bhale hi roadside hone se valuation badh jaye, par agar total valuation ₹20 Lakh ke andar rehti hai, toh aapko ek bhi rupaya stamp duty nahi deni hogi.
Condition B: Abadi Ke Paas Ki Zameen (Aawasiya Dar)
Agar kheti ki zameen gaon ki Abadi (residential cluster) ke 200 meter ke dayre me aati hai, toh kayi tehsilon me use kheti ki jagah residential rate (per sq. meter) par evaluate kiya jata hai. Registry se pehle apne lekhpal ya deed writer se circle rate sheet me yeh zaroor check karein ki land agricultural rate par evaluate ho rahi hai ya abadi rate par.
Condition C: UP Revenue Code Section 89 (Land Ceiling Limit)
UP Revenue Code, 2006 ke Section 89 ke tahat koi bhi vyakti UP me 12.5 Acre (lagbhag 50 Bigha) se zyada kheti ki zameen nahi khareed sakta. Aapki total holding is limit ke andar honi chahiye.
UP Ex-Servicemen Registry Stamp Duty Exemption Ka Calculation
Scenario 1: Property Value ₹20 Lakh Ke Andar Hai
- Example: Gaon me kheti ki zameen ki circle rate value = ₹16,00,000.
- Normal Rural Stamp Duty (5%): ₹80,000.
- Ex-Servicemen Stamp Duty: ₹0 (Nil).
- Bachat: Flat ₹80,000.
- (Note: Keval 1% Registration fee yani ₹16,000 pay karni hogi).
Scenario 2: Property Value ₹20 Lakh Se Zyada Hai (Slab Calculation)
Agar property ki value ₹20 Lakh se upar hai, toh pehle ₹20 Lakh par 100% exemption milegi aur bache hue amount par respective area ka normal rate lagega:
- Example (Village Agricultural Land = ₹30 Lakh Value):
- Exempted Amount: ₹20,00,000 (Stamp Duty = ₹0)
- Taxable Balance: ₹30,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 = ₹10,00,000
- Stamp Duty on Balance (Rural 5%): ₹50,000
- Bina Exemption ke lagta: ₹1,50,000
- Ex-Serviceman ko laga: ₹50,00,000
- Direct Net Saving: Flat ₹1,00,000!
- Example (Urban Residential Plot = ₹30 Lakh Value):
- Exempted Amount: ₹20,00,000 (Stamp Duty = ₹0)
- Taxable Balance: ₹10,00,000
- Stamp Duty on Balance (Urban 7%): ₹70,000
- Bina Exemption ke lagta: ₹2,10,000
- Ex-Serviceman ko laga: ₹70,000
- Direct Net Saving: Flat ₹1,40,000!
Alag-Alag Conditions & Situations Me Niyam (Special Cases)
1. Joint Ownership (Fauji + Civilian Friend/Brother)
Agar Ex-Serviceman kisi civilian ke sath milkar 50-50% share me property le rahe hain:
- Exemption sirf Ex-Serviceman ke share par apply hogi.
- Agar ₹40 Lakh ki property hai, toh Fauji ke ₹20 Lakh share par stamp duty ₹0 hogi, aur civilian ke ₹20 Lakh share par normal stamp duty deni hogi.
2. Husband (Ex-Serviceman) + Wife (Joint Name)
Agar Ex-Serviceman apni dharampatni ke sath joint registry karwa rahe hain, toh unhe apna share sale deed me clearly specify karna chahiye. Fauji ke share par ₹20 Lakh tak ki exemption claim karein, aur patni ke share par UP government ki mahila chhoot (1% rebate, jahan applicable ho) ka labh mil sakta hai.
3. Ek Se Zyada District Me Registry
Yeh scheme poorv sainik ko life me sirf 1 baar milti hai. Chahe aap Lucknow me zameen lein, Bareilly me ya Gorakhpur me, Sub-Registrar aapki original Discharge Book me seal aur entry karte hain, jisse state bhar me dubara yeh claim nahi kiya ja sakta.
Eligibility Criteria: Kaun-Kaun Iska Labh Le Sakta Hai?
- UP Domicile: Applicant Uttar Pradesh ka mool niwasi (bonafide resident) hona chahiye.

Affidavit (Shapath Patra) Me Kya Likhein? (Standard Format Points)
Notary se banwaye jaane wale affidavit me yeh points mandatory hain:
- Deponent Indian Armed Forces ka Ex-Serviceman hai (Army/Navy/Air Force Service No., Rank, Name darj karein).
- Deponent Uttar Pradesh ka sthayi niwasi hai.
- Deponent ne UP Government ke GO No. 583/94-2-2018-700(03)/2018 dated 20-06-2018 ke tahat poorv me kisi bhi aawasiya, vyavasayik ya krishi bhoomi par stamp duty exemption ka labh nahi liya hai.
- Agar bhavishya me yeh tathya galat paya jaye, toh prashasan stamp duty recovery aur legal action ke liye swatantra hoga.
Step-by-Step Process: Sub-Registrar Office Me Kaise Apply Karein?
Step 1: Sale Deed (Bainama) Me Clause Add Karwayein
Apne deed writer ya advocate ko bolein ki registry deed ke main text me clear clause mention kare:
“Kreta ek Bhootpoorv Sainik hain aur Shasanadesh Sankhya 583/94-2-2018-700(03)/2018 dinank 20 June 2018 ke tahat ₹20,00,000 tak ke mulyankan par Stamp Duty chhoot ke patra hain.”
Step 2: IGRSUP Portal Par Online Feeding
UP Stamp & Registration portal (igrsup.gov.in) par registry feed karte waqt “Exemption / Chhoot Category” me Ex-Servicemen / Bhootpoorv Sainik select karwayein. Zameen krishi (agricultural) hai toh khasra number aur gram panchayat select karein. Wahan ₹20,00,000 ka deduction automatic system me reflect karega.
Step 3: Sub-Registrar Verification & Seal Entry
Sub-Registrar Office me biometric, photo aur signature ke waqt officer aapki original Discharge Book check karenge. Officer Discharge Book ke blank/endorsement page par registration number, bahi sankhya (book number) aur stamp exemption ki official mohar (seal) lagayenge.
Step 4: Final Registration & Dakhil Kharij (Mutation)
Seal lagne aur verification complete hone ke baad discount approve ho jayega aur aapki registry complete ho jayegi. Agar kheti ki zameen hai, toh registry ke turant baad Tehsil me Dakhil Kharij (Mutation / Section 34/35 UP Revenue Code) ke liye apply zaroor karein taaki Khatoni me aapka naam chadh sake.
Common Mistakes: Fauji Bhai Ye Galtiyan Na Karein!
- Original Discharge Book Na Le Jaana: Sirf photocopy se kaam nahi chalega. Registrar discharge book par physical seal lagata hai taaki dubara koi fake claim na kare.
- Deed Writer Ko Pehle Na Batana: Kayi baar dastawej lekhak bina bataye normal stamp calculate karke e-stamp print kar dete hain. Drafting se pehle hi unhe batayein.
- Discharge Book Me Dusre State Ka Address Hona: Agar aapki discharge book me permanent address UP ka nahi hai, toh pehle UP ka valid Domicile Certificate (Niwas Praman Patra) banwayein aur Zila Sainik Kalyan Board registration karwayein.
- Ag Land Me Roadside Status Chhupana: Agar kheti ki zameen road par hai toh circle rate me road rate zaroor calculate karwayein, warna baad me Stamp Deficit (Kamee Stamp) ka legal notice aa sakta hai.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Gaon ki kheti ki zameen par normal stamp duty kitni lagti hai aur Ex-Servicemen ko kitni chhoot hai?
Ans: Gaon (Gram Panchayat) ki pure agricultural land par normal stamp duty 5% hoti hai (kyunki wahan 2% urban development surcharge nahi lagta). Ex-Servicemen ko isme bhi ₹20 Lakh tak ke valuation par poori 100% stamp duty chhoot milti hai (yani ₹0 stamp duty).
Q2. Kya commercial property, dukan ya residential plot par bhi yeh chhoot valid hai?
Ans: Haan, yeh exemption residential plot, built house, flat, commercial space ya agricultural land sabhi types ki immovable property purchase par equally applicable hai.
Q3. Kya ek Ex-Serviceman life me do baar yeh discount le sakta hai (jaise ek baar kheti zameen aur ek baar plot)?
Ans: Nahi. Yeh exemption life me sirf 1 baar milti hai. Sub-Registrar Discharge Book me iska permanent entry aur official seal lagate hain.
Q4. Kheti ki zameen lene ke baad Dakhil Kharij (Mutation) par koi asar padta hai kya?
Ans: Bilkul nahi. Registry me stamp duty chhoot lene ka Dakhil Kharij se koi negative relation nahi hai. Registry hone ke 35-45 din ke andar revenue court (Tehsildar) dwara normal process se Khatoni me aapka naam darj ho jata hai.
Q5. Kya serving defense personnel (on-duty) ko bhi yeh discount milta hai?
Ans: Nahi, yeh specific order retired personnel (Ex-Servicemen) aur shaheed sainikon ke parivar ke liye hai. Serving personnel tabhi claim kar sakte hain jab unki discharge book ban chuki ho aur wo officially pensioner status me aa chuke hon.
Q6. Agar property ₹18 Lakh ki hai, toh kya stamp duty bilkul zero hogi?
Ans: Haan! Agar property ka government circle rate valuation ₹18 Lakh hai, toh stamp duty ₹0 hogi. Sirf 1% Registration charge (₹18,000) aur nominal deed writing fees hi deni hogi.
