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 17 connects via Samaypur Badli (Yellow Line) with road access on Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar link; Sector 26 leans on Rithala & UER-II and Sector 26-27 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 17 is Category E, Sector 26 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 17 vs Sector 26 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the circle rate difference between Rohini Sector 17 and Sector 26?
Sector 17 has a base residential circle rate of ₹70,000/m² (Category E); Sector 26 is ₹56,000/m² (Category F). The gap between them is 25%, with Sector 26 carrying the lower rate.
Which is cheaper to register a plot in — Sector 17 or Sector 26?
Sector 26 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 26 assesses lower per square metre, so the statutory minimum duty is lower there.
How far apart are Rohini Sector 17 and Sector 26?
The two sector centroids are about 2.4 km apart in North West Delhi. Sector 17 lies near Sector 17 DDA Park, while Sector 26 lies near Pocket 1 Green Belt — 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 5 official blueprint sheets for Sector 17 (4 pocket plans) and 2 sheets for Sector 26 (2 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 17 is served by Samaypur Badli (Yellow Line); Sector 26 by Rithala & UER-II. 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.
