Charge two / Registration Act 1908
Registration fee
The registration fee on a conveyance in Gujarat is 1 per cent of the consideration amount under Article 20(a) of the registration fee table, charged under the Registration Act 1908 read with the Gujarat Registration Rules 1970. It is a separate charge from stamp duty and falls due on the same document, which puts the combined statutory charge at 5.9 per cent.

01A separate charge on the same transfer
The registration fee is not part of stamp duty and is not collected under the same Act. Stamp duty discharges a liability under the Gujarat Stamp Act 1958. The registration fee is paid to the Registration department for entering the document in the public record under the Registration Act 1908. Both fall due on the same conveyance, which is why the effective statutory charge on a Dholera sale deed is 5.9 per cent rather than 4.9.
The official table states no maximum for the 1 per cent on an immovable property conveyance. It does state a maximum of Rs. 10,000 for the 1 per cent on a conveyance of movable property under Article 20(aa), so the absence of a cap on Article 20(a) is the table's own distinction and not an omission here.

| All district headquarters | 200 |
| All other places | 100 |
| In jail | 100 |
The source names Ahmedabad and all district headquarters at Rs. 200 and all other places at Rs. 100. It does not say which band a Sub-Registrar office serving the Dholera villages falls into, so no band is picked here.
05The fee on every published band
The 1 per cent has been applied to every jantri band in every notified village alongside the duty, so the two charges are always shown together and always add to 5.9 per cent of the same base.
Cost by village, or read the stamp duty article table. The charges that fall before registration are on their own page.
