Price & Registration Cost
Both sectors carry an identical base residential circle rate of ₹1,28,000/m², so the deed-value floor is effectively the same in either pocket. The real cost difference shows up in plot mix, available sizes, and how far the sector has appreciated above circle rate in actual resale transactions.
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 3 connects via Rohini West (Red Line) with road access on Bhagwan Mahavir Marg; Sector 18 leans on Rohini Sector 18-19 Metro (Yellow Line) and Badli Railway Station Road. Neither is isolated, but one will always be closer to your regular route — measure both against your actual commute before weighing the 0% rate gap.

What the Colony Category Difference Means
Both sectors fall under Delhi Government colony Category D, so they share the same statutory rate band and identical stamp-duty treatment (6% male / 4% female / 5% joint, plus 1% registration). Any price difference between them comes from market premium — age, road width, builder-floor stock — not from the government's valuation table.
Sector 3 vs Sector 18 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the circle rate difference between Rohini Sector 3 and Sector 18?
Sector 3 has a base residential circle rate of ₹1,28,000/m² (Category D); Sector 18 is ₹1,28,000/m² (Category D). The gap between them is 0%, and the two rates are identical at the base band.
Which is cheaper to register a plot in — Sector 3 or Sector 18?
Neither has an edge on paper — both share a base circle rate of ₹1,28,000/m², so the statutory minimum stamp duty is identical. The actual amount then depends on the agreed sale consideration and the buyer's gender (women buyers pay 4% vs 6% for men).
