Wave City Ghaziabad Registry Process 2026 — Documents, Stamp Duty & Step-by-Step Guide

⏱ Last Updated: March 2026 | Registry process verified from GDA records and RERA UP portal.

Getting your Wave City property registered is now significantly smoother following the GDA DPR approval in August 2024, which cleared the path for thousands of stuck registrations. This guide walks you through the complete registry process — documents required, stamp duty costs, and step-by-step procedure at the Sub-Registrar office.

Wave City Registry — Step-by-Step Process

• Step 1 — Verify RERA status: Check your project at rera.up.nic.in. Confirm registration is active, possession is offered, and there are no compliance issues against your builder.
• Step 2 — Get GDA NOC: Obtain a No Objection Certificate from GDA (Ghaziabad Development Authority) confirming the plot layout is approved and mutation is clear. Wave Infratech or your builder typically helps with this.
• Step 3 — Prepare documents: Gather all original documents (see list below). Photocopies are not accepted — originals must be presented at the Sub-Registrar office.
• Step 4 — Calculate stamp duty: Stamp duty in UP is 7% of the circle rate or sale consideration (whichever is higher) for male buyers, 6% for female buyers. Add 1% registration fee.
• Step 5 — Pay stamp duty online: Pay via IGRS UP portal (igrsup.gov.in) before visiting the Sub-Registrar. Print the e-stamp certificate.
• Step 6 — Book appointment: Book a slot at the Sub-Registrar Office, Ghaziabad via the IGRS UP portal.
• Step 7 — Execute sale deed: Visit the Sub-Registrar with buyer, seller, and two witnesses. The sale deed is read, verified, and registered. Original registered deed is issued within 1–3 working days.
• Step 8 — Mutation (Dakhil Kharij): After registry, apply for mutation with GDA to update ownership records in your name. This is a separate process from the sale deed registration.
