DLC Rate (District Level Committee Rate) in Rajasthan 2026
Rajasthan's official government property valuation — the rate stamp duty is actually charged on (also called Circle Rate, Unit Rate, e-Value) — how to look it up for Jaipur and Jodhpur, and what changed in the latest revision.
What is the dlc rate (district level committee rate)?
The dlc rate (district level committee rate) is the minimum value at which a property can be registered in Rajasthan, notified locality-by- locality by the Registration & Stamps Department, Government of Rajasthan (rates fixed by District Level Committees headed by Collectors). 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 is charged on the higher of the DLC value or the declared transaction value.
Rajasthan specifics: DLC rates distinguish 'exterior' (road-facing) and 'interior' plots and are set separately for residential/commercial/agricultural land; revisions are nominally annual from April 1 but have also been made mid-year in past cycles.

~10% across-the-board hike effective April 2025. Because district committees did not meet in 2025, the government applied a flat ~10% increase to existing DLC rates (most Jaipur residential/commercial zones up ~10%). As of mid-2026 the Finance Department has directed all district collectors to prepare a fresh market-based revision; no new statewide rates verified as notified yet.
How stamp duty uses this rate in Rajasthan
Suppose you agree to buy a flat in Jaipur 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 6%, i.e. about ₹4,20,000, 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 dlc rate (district level committee rate) before fixing a deal price.
Frequently asked questions
What is the dlc rate (district level committee rate) in Rajasthan?+
It is the minimum property value fixed by the Registration & Stamps Department, Government of Rajasthan (rates fixed by District Level Committees headed by Collectors) for each locality, and it is the floor on which stamp duty and registration charges are computed in Rajasthan. The same rate is also called Circle Rate, Unit Rate, e-Value.
How do I check the dlc rate (district level committee rate) for my area?+
Use the official epanjiyan Rajasthan — e-Value (Online DLC) portal (https://epanjiyan.rajasthan.gov.in). Select your district, sub-registrar office or village/locality, and property type to see the notified rate.
When was the dlc rate (district level committee rate) last revised in Rajasthan?+
~10% across-the-board hike effective April 2025. Because district committees did not meet in 2025, the government applied a flat ~10% increase to existing DLC rates (most Jaipur residential/commercial zones up ~10%). As of mid-2026 the Finance Department has directed all district collectors to prepare a fresh market-based revision; no new statewide rates verified as notified yet.
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.
