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 16 connects via Samaypur Badli & Rithala with road access on Bawana Road; Sector 29 leans on UER-II connector and Barwala Link Road. Neither is isolated, but one will always be closer to your regular route — measure both against your actual commute before weighing the 25% 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 16 is Category E, Sector 29 is Category F. 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 16 vs Sector 29 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the circle rate difference between Rohini Sector 16 and Sector 29?
Sector 16 has a base residential circle rate of ₹70,000/m² (Category E); Sector 29 is ₹56,000/m² (Category F). The gap between them is 25%, with Sector 29 carrying the lower rate.
Which is cheaper to register a plot in — Sector 16 or Sector 29?
Sector 29 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 29 assesses lower per square metre, so the statutory minimum duty is lower there.
How far apart are Rohini Sector 16 and Sector 29?
The two sector centroids are about 4.7 km apart in North West Delhi. Sector 16 lies near Sector 16 Market, while Sector 29 lies near DDA Housing Complex Sector 29 — 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 34 official blueprint sheets for Sector 16 (33 pocket plans) and 13 sheets for Sector 29 (12 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 16 is served by Samaypur Badli & Rithala; Sector 29 by UER-II connector. If your commute touches the Red Line or Yellow Line differently, one will clearly save time daily — weigh that against the 25% circle-rate gap before deciding.
