Village record 03 / barwala block

Transaction cost, Sodhi

Nothing can be worked out for Sodhi. The government's price list has no page for this village in either of its two volumes, so there is no value for the tax to be charged on and this page prints the gap instead of filling it.

Sodhi is a real village, named in the 2009 notification that created the region, and land in it is bought and sold. What is missing is the published rate, not the village. A neighbouring village's rate would have produced a plausible looking number, and that is exactly why none was used.

01Nothing to compute

Sodhi is one of the twenty two villages named in the Schedule to the 2009 notification, at serial 3 of the Barwala block, with 588 survey numbers over 40.4975 sq km. It has no page in either Annual Statement of Rates volume for Ahmedabad district. The non-agricultural book was checked page by page and no page exists for it; the agricultural extraction covers Dhandhuka taluka and Sodhi sat in Barwala taluka in 2009.

No rate published in either ASR 2011 volume. No valuation base, therefore no computable duty. A neighbouring village rate was not substituted.

02Built-land rates

No page for this village exists anywhere in AHMEDABAD-NA.pdf, the non-agricultural Annual Statement of Rates for the district. No non-agricultural or gamtal rate is published, so none is shown.

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.

Standing caveat

These figures are illustrative. They are computed on the ASR 2011 valuation base, which is the edition of the Annual Statement of Rates available as a published rate book, and on a declared parcel size. They are not a quotation and they are not the amount a Sub-Registrar will demand. Actual liability must be confirmed at the Sub-Registrar office having jurisdiction over the property.

Where to confirm

The jantri rate for a specific survey number is looked up on the Garvi portal under Jantry rate and Market value. Where the rate for a survey number is not shown, the department directs the citizen to the office of the Deputy Collector, Stamp Duty Valuation Organisation for the district.

For a promulgated, that is re-surveyed, village the department computes duty on the jantri rate of the survey number as it stood in the year the jantri was framed, not on the new survey number.

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.
