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 / barwala block

Transaction cost, Sangasar

No farmland rate is published for Sangasar, so the figures here start from the built-land side of the government price list. A 1,000 sq m plot at the village's highest published rate carries Rs. 6,490 in government charges.

That is Rs. 5,390 of stamp duty and Rs. 1,100 of registration fee on a government valuation of Rs. 1,10,000. The reason the farmland book skips this village is explained below, and it is a records problem rather than anything to do with the land itself.

01The arithmetic

Total government charge, 1,000 sq mRs. 6,490That 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.

A 1,000 sq m plot is used here because the built-land book prices land by the square metre. Scale the answer up or down for a plot of a different size.

04What 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.
