Mumbai property registrations rise 9% to 12,690 in October 2026
Mumbai recorded 12,690 property registrations in October 2026, 9% more than a year earlier, and stamp duty receipts reached 1,173 crore rupees.
The facts
- Mumbai recorded 12,690 property registrations in October 2026 against 11,649 in October 2025, a rise of 9% over the year.
- Stamp duty collections reached 1,173 crore rupees (11.73 billion rupees), up from 1,040 crore rupees (10.40 billion rupees) a year earlier, an increase of 13%.
- Receipts therefore grew faster than volumes, 13% against 9%.
- The figures come from the Maharashtra Department of Registration and Stamps and were analysed by Knight Frank India.
- The month overlapped the Shraddh period, which the report treats as a seasonal drag on registrations.
What it means for your money
- More registrations mean an easier exit. Glopra puts total transaction costs in Mumbai at 9.5% of the price, paid on the way in.
- A buyer entering now meets a market where duty receipts grew 13% against 9% more deals, so the average ticket moved up rather than down.
- For an owner already holding in Mumbai, volume is the liquidity side of the return, and it is running above last October.
What to watch
- The dated reports differ on the stamp duty percentage, two giving 13% and one 12%, while the absolute figures of 1,173 crore and 1,040 crore rupees are identical across all three.
- None of the reports states whether the 12,690 figure covers residential registrations only or all property, so the scope is not fixed.
