What a land transfer inside the Dholera Special Investment Region costs to complete, worked out line by line from the government's own published rates.

Village record 02 / dhandhuka block

Transaction cost, Bhadiyad

Buying one acre of unirrigated farmland in Bhadiyad costs Rs. 24,593 in government charges on top of whatever you pay the seller. This page shows exactly how that figure is built.

The charge is Rs. 20,425 of stamp duty at 4.9 per cent plus Rs. 4,168 of registration fee at 1 per cent, both taken on a government valuation of Rs. 4,16,830 for the acre. That valuation is not the market price. It is the rate the state's own price list, the jantri, sets for the kind of land that covers most of this village. Bhadiyad has 30 different published farmland rates in all and they are all listed below, because which one applies to a particular plot depends on where the plot sits.

01The arithmetic

Total government charge, one acreRs. 24,593That is 5.9 per cent of the government valuation, made up of the 4.9 per cent stamp duty and the 1 per cent registration fee. The rate used covers 359 survey numbers across 9 printed rows, more of Bhadiyad than any other rate in the book.

Every line below can be checked against the printed rate book. The only two inputs are the government rate and the size of the parcel; the rest is multiplication.

02Farmland rates, cost on one acre

Every farmland rate the government publishes for Bhadiyad, with the charge worked out on one acre of each. Which one applies to a particular plot depends on whether the land is irrigated and what kind of road it sits on, so a plot on a highway is valued higher than the same land inland.

03Built-land and gamtal rates, cost on 1,000 sq m

Rates for land in Bhadiyad that is not farmland, with the charge worked out on a 1,000 sq m plot of each. Gamtal means the old built-up core of the village, the houses and lanes rather than the fields, and it carries its own rate.

05What cannot be worked out for this village

The figure at the top of this page is not the whole cost of owning land here. Four further charges fall on a purchase and the government has never printed an amount for any of them, so they cannot honestly be added.

  • Mutation, the ferfar entry in the Record of Rights after purchase. Sections 135C and 135D of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code 1879 set the procedure and the three month and thirty day periods, and prescribe no fee. No official fee published.
  • Non-agricultural conversion under section 65. The 2008 resolution fixes the procedure and a Rs. 3 court fee stamp on the form. The conversion tax, the non-agricultural assessment and the land measurement fee carry no amount. No official fee published.
  • Premium on new tenure land under section 43 of the Tenancy Act. Fixed case by case by the Collector. No rate published.
  • Property tax inside the SIR. Section 29 of the Gujarat Special Investment Region Act 2009 makes the region a deemed industrial township and lets the development authority act as the taxing authority. No rate, formula, due date or payment portal was found on any government source. No official fee published.

The full charge register lists all thirty five steps with the gap marked on each one, and what is not public explains why these gaps exist.

The words on this page, in plain English

Jantri
The government's own price list for land. It is printed village by village and it sets the value the tax is charged on, whatever price the buyer and seller agree between themselves.
Survey number
The number the revenue record uses to identify one piece of land, the way a house has a street number.
Rate band
One printed line in the jantri: a class of land, a road situation and one rate. A village usually has several, and which one applies depends on where the plot sits.
Principal band
The band the rate book applies to more survey numbers than any other in that village. It is the most representative rate, not an average and not a market price.
Gamtal
The old built-up core of a village, the houses and lanes rather than the fields around them. It carries its own rate in the jantri.
