When people ask what a YEIDA plot costs, they usually mean the rate per square metre. That is only the start. The premium is the biggest number, but a one-time lease rent, location charges, stamp duty and registration, and a string of smaller charges all sit on top, and more charges follow if you miss a deadline or sell later. This guide adds them up from YEIDA’s own RPS10/2026 brochure, the allotment letter and the transfer and lease forms, and works through an example so you can budget properly. The rate itself is covered in our guide to YEIDA plot rates.
Key facts at a glance
- Premium: the plot rate times the area. Under RPS10/2026 the residential rate was ₹36,260 per sq m, and it can rise before the allotment letter is issued.
- Location charges: up to 15% of the premium, 5% each for a corner plot, a park or green-belt facing plot, and a plot on an 18 m or wider road.
- One-time lease rent: 10% of the total plot cost, paid once before the lease deed. This is a big line people forget.
- Stamp duty and registration: paid on the lease deed by you, on top of everything above.
- Pay on time: the full premium is due within 60 days of the allotment letter; a late payment runs at 13.5% a year and can cancel the allotment.
The charges that make up the price
| Charge | How much (RPS10/2026 and YEIDA forms) | When |
|---|---|---|
| Premium (plot cost) | Rate per sq m times area; ₹36,260 per sq m under RPS10/2026. Can rise before the allotment letter. | Registration money 10% up front; the full premium within 60 days of the allotment letter |
| Preferential location charges (PLC) | 5% of the premium each for a corner, a park or green-belt facing plot, and an 18 m or wider road; maximum 15% | At the execution of the lease deed |
| One-time lease rent | 10% of the total cost of the plot, in a lump sum | Before the lease deed |
| Stamp duty and registration | On the lease deed, calculated by the Sub-Registrar; borne by the allottee | At the lease deed |
| Documentation charge | A nominal charge (listed as ₹120 in YEIDA’s checklist); confirm the current figure | At the lease deed stage |
| GST | Where applicable, as the brochure notes GST additional | As charged |
Note that the premium can increase between application and allotment, and that if the land acquisition cost is later raised by a court, the state or YEIDA, the allottee bears the proportionate increase. So treat the rate as a floor, not a ceiling.
A worked example
Take a 200 sq m plot at the RPS10/2026 rate of ₹36,260 per sq m. These are illustrative figures to show the structure, not a quote:
| Item | Working | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Premium | 200 × ₹36,260 | ₹72,52,000 |
| Location charges (if the maximum applies) | 15% of the premium | up to ₹10,87,800 |
| One-time lease rent | 10% of the plot cost | ₹7,25,200 |
| Stamp duty and registration | on the lease deed, by the Sub-Registrar | a further major sum (see below) |
So a plot advertised at about ₹72.5 lakh can carry roughly ₹7 lakh of one-time lease rent, up to about ₹11 lakh of location charges if it is a corner, park-facing, wide-road plot, and stamp duty and registration on top. A plot with no preferential location avoids the PLC. Budget for all of it before you commit.
Stamp duty and registration
Stamp duty on a YEIDA plot is paid on the lease deed, and the brochure and lease deed make it, the registration fee and all execution expenses the allottee’s. In Uttar Pradesh the headline stamp duty is 5% or 7% depending on the area, with a 1% registration fee, and a rebate for a woman buyer on part of the value. YEIDA’s checklist asks that the stamp duty be worked out by the Sub-Registrar’s office. The full picture, including the women’s rebate and how the value is set, is in our guide to stamp duty and registration in Uttar Pradesh.
If you pay late, build late, sell or default
Several charges only arise if something slips. They are all in the brochure and forms:
- Late premium. Up to 30 extra days may be allowed in extraordinary cases at 13.5% a year (10% plus 3%); beyond that the allotment is cancelled and the registration money forfeited.
- Late lease deed. Extension charges of 1% of the premium in the first year and 2% in the second, charged quarterly, with possession to be taken within 180 days of the offer or a 1% charge for a one-year extension.
- Late construction. Extension charges of 4%, 5% and 6% of the premium for years one to three past the three-year build deadline.
- Transferring the plot. A transfer charge of 5% of the plot cost, plus a ₹1,000 processing fee, if you later sell; see our guide to transferring a YEIDA plot.
- Restoration. If the plot is cancelled and you get it back, restoration charges of 10% of the current premium, plus all arrears; see our guide to cancellation and restoration.
- Mortgage, maintenance and other permissions carry their own fees under YEIDA’s policy; see our guide to allottee paperwork.
What you do not pay in instalments
Under RPS10/2026 the full premium is due within 60 days of the allotment letter and the brochure lists no instalment plan, so do not assume you can spread the premium over years. Some banks listed in the brochure finance up to 90% of the registration money, and a plot or construction loan is a separate arrangement covered in our guide to loans for a YEIDA plot.
Common questions
On top of the premium (rate times area), budget up to 15% location charges, a one-time lease rent of 10% of the plot cost, and stamp duty and registration on the lease deed, plus small documentation and GST charges where applicable.
Ten percent of the total cost of the plot, paid once in a lump sum before the lease deed. On a ₹72.5 lakh plot that is about ₹7.25 lakh.
Preferential location charges of 5% of the premium each for a corner plot, a park or green-belt facing plot, and a plot on an 18 m or wider road, up to a maximum of 15%. A plot with no such advantage pays none.
Not under RPS10/2026, which asks for the full premium within 60 days and lists no instalment plan. A bank loan is a separate arrangement.
No. Stamp duty, the registration fee and the execution expenses on the lease deed are paid by the allottee, on top of the premium and the other charges.
Please verify before you commit. The figures are from the RPS10/2026 brochure and YEIDA’s forms, and rates, charges and GST can change and vary by scheme. The example is illustrative, not a quote. Confirm the current premium, location charges, lease rent and stamp duty for your plot with YEIDA and the Sub-Registrar before you budget. This is general information, not financial advice.
