Gurugram and Faridabad recorded 5,298 property registrations during a 10-day Navratri period, according to a report by Navbharat Times, but the figures published for government revenue contain a significant discrepancy that requires clarification from Haryana’s registration authorities.
The report says Gurugram recorded 3,725 registrations and Faridabad 1,573, placing the two districts first and second in Haryana by registration count during the period. It also states that the districts together generated more than Rs 4,835 crore for the state government.
However, the detailed figures in the same report identify a combined transaction value of about Rs 4,835.57 crore. Gurugram’s reported transaction value was Rs 3,910.16 crore, while Faridabad’s was Rs 925.41 crore. These two figures add up to approximately Rs 4,835.57 crore and appear to describe the value of property transactions rather than government collections.
The itemised government-revenue figures are substantially lower. For Gurugram, the report cites Rs 223.36 crore in stamp duty and Rs 8.81 crore in registration fees. For Faridabad, it cites Rs 48.32 crore in stamp duty and Rs 2.99 crore in registration fees. Together, these charges amount to about Rs 283.48 crore, not Rs 4,835 crore. The report’s opening reference to Rs 4,835 crore as government revenue therefore cannot be reconciled with its own detailed breakdown.
The report attributes the district-level figures to government sources. It says Haryana recorded 18,727 registrations during the period, with a total transaction value of Rs 8,042.26 crore, stamp duty of Rs 447.58 crore and registration fees of Rs 24.48 crore. The statewide transaction-value figure is broadly consistent with the combined district-level values listed in the report, while the reported stamp-duty and registration-fee totals indicate a separate revenue measure.
Gurugram accounted for the largest share of reported activity. Its 3,725 registrations represented the highest district total, with a transaction value of Rs 3,910.16 crore. The report says this was about 48.6% of Haryana’s total transaction value. The district also accounted for Rs 223.36 crore in stamp duty and Rs 8.81 crore in registration fees, according to the figures published.
Faridabad’s 1,573 registrations represented about 8.4% of the registrations reported across the state. Its transaction value of Rs 925.41 crore accounted for approximately 11.5% of the state total, the report says. The district’s cited stamp duty was Rs 48.32 crore and its registration fee was Rs 2.99 crore.
Within Faridabad district, the report lists 601 registrations in Faridabad, 312 in Ballabhgarh, 333 in Badkhal, 133 in Gochhi, 115 in Tigaon, 43 in Dayalpur, 12 in Dhaoj and 24 in Mohna. These figures add up to the district total of 1,573 registrations.
Other districts also recorded substantial registration activity. Sonipat had 1,062 registrations with a reported transaction value of Rs 512.14 crore, while Jhajjar recorded 1,047 registrations and Rs 390.17 crore in transactions. Panipat recorded 1,010 registrations with a transaction value of Rs 332.75 crore. Palwal recorded 826 registrations and Rs 203.56 crore in transactions, while Panchkula recorded 322 registrations with a transaction value of Rs 244.95 crore.
For urban readers, the distinction between transaction value and government revenue is important. Registration counts indicate the volume of recorded property transfers, while transaction value reflects the monetary value assigned to those deals. Stamp duty and registration fees are the actual charges listed as being collected by the government. Treating transaction value as revenue would significantly overstate the public receipts from property registrations.
The report does not identify the government department, notification, dataset or official statement from which the figures were obtained. It also does not explain whether the Rs 4,835 crore reference is a typographical error, a reference to transaction value, or a broader measure that includes other charges. Haryana’s registration authorities would need to confirm the correct interpretation before the revenue claim can be treated as established.
The available figures do establish that Gurugram and Faridabad were major centres of property-registration activity during the reported Navratri period. The precise amount deposited into the state treasury, however, remains unresolved in the supplied material. Confirmation of the underlying district records and the terminology used for transaction value, stamp duty and registration fees is the next necessary step.
