Is this Nepal land registration fee page free to use?

Yes. Every Kaamko tool is free, with no sign-up, no account and no usage limit. They are published by Imperial College of Engineering, a Tribhuvan University-affiliated engineering college in Tathali, Bhaktapur, and are not funded by advertising.

Does what I type get sent anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser: the calculation happens on your own device, nothing you type is uploaded, and nothing is stored after you close the page.

Where do the figures come from?

Each tool names its source on the page, along with the date that source was read. Where a rate or a slab is provisional — announced in a budget speech but not yet gazetted, for instance — the page says so rather than presenting it as settled.

Land registration fee calculator

The malpot fee is charged on the higher of the government minimum valuation and the price on the deed — not on what you paid. Registering in a woman's sole name takes a quarter off it, and a transfer between husband and wife is Rs 100 flat.

The property

Rs 5,25,000on a base of Rs 1,00,00,000 · 5.25% of the value

Rules usedFY 2082/83 rates, provisional. Land Revenue Office registration fee schedule as published for FY 2082/83. Rates corroborated across three published fee guides; the Land Revenue Department’s own circular was not read. Local bodies occasionally add their own charge, so confirm at the office before you budget.

The charge

Charged on	Rs 1,00,00,000
Rate	5%
Registration fee	Rs 5,00,000
Concession	—
Bagmati Sabhyata Kosh	Rs 25,000
Total at the counter	Rs 5,25,000

The two decisions that change it

In a woman's sole name	Rs 3,93,750
Husband-and-wife transfer	Rs 100
Saved by the first	Rs 1,31,250

Both are decisions made at the counter, on the day, and neither is offered to you.

This is the registration fee, and nothing else. Not included, and each of them is real money:

Capital gains tax, which the seller pays and which depends on how long they held the property
Kitta-kat — splitting one parcel into two before the sale
Ward and municipality recommendation charges
Any unpaid land revenue on the parcel, which the office will want cleared first
The writer’s fee and the cost of the deed paper

The Bagmati Sabhyata Kosh is computed here on the fee actually payable, that is, after any concession. Whether the office applies it before the concession instead was not confirmed; the difference is small but it is a difference.

The base is not what you paid

Every land revenue office charges on the higher of two numbers: the government minimum valuation for that area, and the consideration written on the deed. Declared prices below the government rate are common, and where that is the case the fee is computed on the government figure regardless.

On the worked example above — Rs 80,00,000 declared against a Rs 1,00,00,000 valuation — the fee is charged on Rs 1,00,00,000, which is Rs 20,00,000 more than the deed says. Budgeting from the price you agreed is how the number at the counter comes as a shock.

A quarter off, for asking

Registering land in a woman's sole name carries a 25% concession on the registration fee inside municipalities, and 30% in rural municipalities. On this example that is Rs 1,31,250.

It is a policy with a purpose — women hold title to a small fraction of Nepali land — and it is worth knowing that the concession attaches to sole ownership. Joint ownership between a couple is a different rule with a different, and much larger, effect.

Rs 100, whatever it is worth

A transfer between husband and wife is charged a flat Rs 100. Not a reduced percentage — a hundred rupees, on a property of any value. It is the single largest saving in Nepali property paperwork and it is almost never mentioned unless you ask for it by name.

An apartment is 1% anywhere

A flat is charged at 1% of its value wherever the building stands, so an apartment in a metropolitan city is registered for a fifth of what the land under it would cost. That is a deliberate encouragement of vertical housing in the valley, and it is a real part of the arithmetic when comparing a flat against a plot.

The seller has their own bill

Capital gains tax is the seller's, not the buyer's, and it depends on how long they held the property. It is not computed here — the rates moved in the 2082 budget and the sources this repo could reach do not agree on the new figures, so quoting one would be worse than saying so. Ask the office for the current rate before you agree who bears it.

The land area converter turns ropani-aana-paisa into square feet and back, which is the other half of reading a lalpurja, and the EMI calculator covers the loan. If the notation on the certificate itself is the part that trips you up, reading area notation on a Nepali lalpurja walks through both systems.
