Delhi stamp duty at a glance
Charged on whichever is higher — circle rate or sale consideration. Women buyers pay 4%, men 6%, joint (male + female) 5%, plus a flat 1% registration fee.
Connectivity & Location
Sector 15 connects via Samaypur Badli & Rohini Sector 18 with road access on KNK Marg; Sector 16 leans on Samaypur Badli & Rithala and Bawana Road. Neither is isolated, but one will always be closer to your regular route — measure both against your actual commute before weighing the 83% rate gap.

What the Colony Category Difference Means
Delhi classifies colonies A through H by civic infrastructure and planning age, and these two sectors sit in different bands: Sector 15 is Category D, Sector 16 is Category E. That single letter sets the circle rate and therefore the minimum stamp duty and registration payable — the cheaper category is not a discount on the property, it is a lower government-assessed floor.
Sector 15 vs Sector 16 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the circle rate difference between Rohini Sector 15 and Sector 16?
Sector 15 has a base residential circle rate of ₹1,28,000/m² (Category D); Sector 16 is ₹70,000/m² (Category E). The gap between them is 83%, with Sector 16 carrying the lower rate.
Which is cheaper to register a plot in — Sector 15 or Sector 16?
Sector 16 is cheaper at the Sub-Registrar, because Delhi stamp duty (6% male, 4% female, 5% joint, plus 1% registration) is charged on whichever is higher: the circle rate or the sale price. On the base circle rate alone, Sector 16 assesses lower per square metre, so the statutory minimum duty is lower there.
How far apart are Rohini Sector 15 and Sector 16?
The two sector centroids are about 0.9 km apart in North West Delhi. Sector 15 lies near Sector 15 Central Market, while Sector 16 lies near Sector 16 Market — close enough to compare seriously, far enough that daily metro and road access genuinely differ.
How many official DDA layout sheets are available for each sector?
PlotBook has digitized 23 official blueprint sheets for Sector 15 (22 pocket plans) and 34 sheets for Sector 16 (33 pocket plans). Each sheet is the original DDA-published scan, viewable with deep zoom down to individual plot numbers on the sector pages linked below.
Which sector has better metro connectivity?
Sector 15 is served by Samaypur Badli & Rohini Sector 18; Sector 16 by Samaypur Badli & Rithala. If your commute touches the Red Line or Yellow Line differently, one will clearly save time daily — weigh that against the 83% circle-rate gap before deciding.
