Jantri Rate in Gujarat 2026
Gujarat's official government property valuation — the rate stamp duty is actually charged on (also called Annual Statement of Rates (ASR), Circle Rate) — how to look it up for Ahmedabad and Surat, and what changed in the latest revision.
What is the jantri rate?
The jantri rate is the minimum value at which a property can be registered in Gujarat, notified locality-by- locality by the Revenue Department (Superintendent of Stamps & Inspector General of Registration), Government of Gujarat. When you register a sale deed, the sub-registrar compares your declared price against this rate and charges stamp duty on the higher of the two. Stamp duty (4.9%) is charged on the higher of the jantri value or the declared consideration.
Gujarat specifics: Jantri was frozen for 12 years (2011-2023) before being abruptly doubled, and the pending 'scientific jantri' is one of the steepest proposed revaluations in India — survey-number-level rates make lookup parcel-specific rather than locality-wide.

Latest revision
Rates doubled effective April 2023 (first revision since 2011); those 2023 rates still apply as of mid-2026. The April 2023 doubling lifted stamp duty/registration revenue ~57%. A new 'scientific' jantri draft published November 2024 proposed increases from ~5x up to extreme multiples in some pockets; its planned 1 April 2025 rollout was put on hold after public and builder objections, with phased implementation expected later in 2026 after district-committee vetting.
How stamp duty uses this rate in Gujarat
Suppose you agree to buy a flat in Ahmedabad for ₹65,00,000, but the notified government value of that flat works out to ₹70,00,000. Stamp duty is charged on ₹70,00,000 — the higher figure — at 4.9%, i.e. about ₹3,43,000, plus registration charges. Declaring a lower price in the deed does not reduce the duty.
The same government value also drives income tax: under Section 50C the seller's capital gains are computed as if they received at least this value, the buyer pays tax on the shortfall under Section 56(2)(x) if the price is more than 10% below it, and the buyer's 1% TDS is deducted on the higher value too. This is why lenders, buyers and sellers all check the jantri rate before fixing a deal price.
Frequently asked questions
What is the jantri rate in Gujarat?+
It is the minimum property value fixed by the Revenue Department (Superintendent of Stamps & Inspector General of Registration), Government of Gujarat for each locality, and it is the floor on which stamp duty and registration charges are computed in Gujarat. The same rate is also called Annual Statement of Rates (ASR), Circle Rate.
How do I check the jantri rate for my area?+
Use the official Garvi Gujarat portal (https://garvi.gujarat.gov.in). Select your district, sub-registrar office or village/locality, and property type to see the notified rate. Click 'Jantri', then select district, taluka, village and survey number to view the rate.
When was the jantri rate last revised in Gujarat?+
Rates doubled effective April 2023 (first revision since 2011); those 2023 rates still apply as of mid-2026. The April 2023 doubling lifted stamp duty/registration revenue ~57%. A new 'scientific' jantri draft published November 2024 proposed increases from ~5x up to extreme multiples in some pockets; its planned 1 April 2025 rollout was put on hold after public and builder objections, with phased implementation expected later in 2026 after district-committee vetting.
What happens if I buy a property below the circle rate?+
Stamp duty is still charged on the government value — you cannot save duty by declaring a lower price. There is also an income-tax hit on both sides: if the declared price is more than 10% below the government value, Section 50C taxes the seller as if they sold at that value, and Section 56(2)(x) taxes the buyer on the difference as "income from other sources".
Is the circle rate the same as the market rate?+
No. The market rate is what buyers actually pay; the government rate is an administrative floor for duty collection. In prime areas the market price usually runs well above the government rate; occasionally (after a sharp correction) the government rate can be higher than market, which inflates the duty payable.
