Buying a home in Meerut: stamp duty, loan, prices

Calculate for Meerut

Buying: no stamp duty is computed for Uttar Pradesh; the home loan calculator works everywhere.

Meerut against the rest of India

Neither the NHB press release nor the list of the RBI's 18 cities carries Meerut, so Payotte has no price movement to report for it, and gives none rather than borrowing another city's.

Where Payotte reads the rates, the duty on a ₹50 lakh home runs from ₹2,50,000 in Uttarakhand (5% of the price) to ₹5,00,000 in Puducherry (10%): seven states and union territories out of 36, which leaves Uttar Pradesh off that scale.

Meerut lies at 29.0°N, 77.7°E. The nearest of the other 43 cities is Ghaziabad, 45 km to the south-west, then Noida (60 km, south-west) and Delhi (60 km, south-west), as the crow flies. Five cities in all lie within 150 km (Ghaziabad, Noida, Delhi, Faridabad and Gurugram). The farthest is Thiruvananthapuram, 2,280 km away. The closest city with a RESIDEX figure is Faridabad, 75 km away, at +24.4%: a neighbour's number, not Meerut's own.

Uttar Pradesh has four other cities on Payotte: Ghaziabad, Kanpur, Lucknow and Noida. None of them has a RESIDEX figure either.

Where to check in Uttar Pradesh

The official sites to use before buying in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh: the register of projects and agents, the portal that registers the sale deed, the land records and the municipal body that levies property tax. Each link goes to a government site.

Search a registration number, a deed or a land record yourself on these sites: Payotte copies nothing from the registers.
