Village record 16 / dhandhuka block

Transaction cost, Zankhi

Buying one acre of unirrigated farmland in Zankhi costs Rs. 25,071 in government charges on top of whatever you pay the seller. This page shows exactly how that figure is built.

The charge is Rs. 20,822 of stamp duty at 4.9 per cent plus Rs. 4,249 of registration fee at 1 per cent, both taken on a government valuation of Rs. 4,24,930 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. Zankhi has 18 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.

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 Zankhi, 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 Zankhi 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.

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.
