- Haryana government waives stamp duty on PMAY houses and small residential plots up to 100 yards.
- Beneficiaries of multiple housing schemes including Mukhyamantri Shahri and Gramin Awas Yojana benefit from this waiver.
- State enforces zero tolerance on crime, improving law and order and supporting social welfare initiatives like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.
Haryana has taken a big step to promote affordable housing by announcing a stamp duty waiver on PMAY houses and small residential plots. This move helps beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and other state housing schemes by reducing the financial burden on homebuyers. Along with this, the government’s strong focus on law and order and social welfare campaigns like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao are creating a safer and more progressive environment for residents.
On 27 August 2025, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced that stamp duty will be waived for houses allotted under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), Mukhyamantri Shahri Awas Yojana, Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojana, and for residential plots up to 100 yards. This waiver means beneficiaries will no longer have to pay the usual stamp duty charges when registering their homes or plots, making home ownership more affordable.
Who Benefits from the Stamp Duty Waiver?
- The waiver applies to beneficiaries under PMAY (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana).
- Beneficiaries of state housing schemes like Mukhyamantri Shahri Awas Yojana and Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojana are also included.
- Owners of small residential plots up to 100 yards are eligible.
- The inclusive approach ensures both urban and rural residents can benefit from this financial relief for affordable housing.
Impact of the Stamp Duty Waiver on Homebuyers and Small Plot Holders
By removing the stamp duty, the Haryana government is cutting down the upfront costs for homebuyers and small plot owners. This encourages more people to invest in housing, supports the goal of affordable housing, and helps increase home ownership rates across the state. The waiver also matches the broader goals of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to provide housing for all by 2025.
Government’s Commitment to Law and Order Enhancing Housing Scheme Benefits
Along with housing initiatives, Haryana’s government is committed to keeping strong law and order. Chief Minister Saini stressed that the state follows a strict zero tolerance policy against crime, which helps create a safe and secure environment for residents and beneficiaries of housing schemes.
Zero Tolerance Policy Against Crime and Its Effect on Public Confidence
Since October 18, 2024, Haryana has enforced a zero tolerance policy on crime. This approach has led to a steady drop in major crimes over the past decade under the BJP government. Clear policing and easier FIR registration have built public trust in law enforcement. The Chief Minister pointed out that no criminal, no matter how powerful, is spared, strengthening the rule of law in the state.
