Dholera Transaction Cost Record

Edition 2026-08-04 / dholerasir.estate

What it costs to complete a land transfer inside the Dholera Special Investment Region, computed line by line against the published valuation base.

ASR 2011 Final / in force 18 April 2011

Valuation base

Stamp duty is charged on a government valuation rather than on the price the parties agree, so the valuation base decides the bill. That base is the Annual Statement of Rates, the jantri, published by the Superintendent of Stamps. This record uses the ASR 2011 Final edition, in force from 18 April 2011, and prints the exact band it uses for every village.

01What the base is

Fixes the government valuation floor on which stamp duty is charged. Stamp duty on non-agricultural land is charged on market value regardless of what the parties write as consideration, so this determines the real transaction cost.

The rate book prints a rate against a list of survey numbers, not against a village. A single village carries several bands at once, split by whether the land is irrigated and by whether the parcel sits on a national or state highway, on a district road, or in the general situation. A highway band can be several times the general band in the same village, which is why this record publishes every band rather than a village average.

The agricultural book prints two figures for each band, a rate per acre and a rate per square metre, and footnotes the second as the base rate for calculation. Both are reproduced here. The worked examples on the village records use the printed per acre figure against a one acre parcel, so no unit conversion enters the arithmetic at all.

03Why 2011 and not this year

The rate book used here is the Annual Statement of Rates marked ASR 2011 Final, in force under the Revenue Department resolution of 18 April 2011. It is the edition available as a complete published rate book covering every village and survey number in the district.

A later revision exists. Its effective date is not asserted anywhere on this site, because the local copy of the resolution announcing it embeds its Gujarati text, including its dates, in a legacy non-Unicode font that does not extract reliably. Reading a date wrong is worse than declining to print one.

The consequence is stated plainly on every page: these are illustrative computations on the 2011 base. They show how the charge is built and what it is proportional to. They are not the amount a Sub-Registrar will demand today.

04The naming problem underneath the base

The rate book has no Dholera taluka in it. Dholera taluka was constituted after the book was issued, so Dholera appears in it as a village inside Dhandhuka taluka, and nineteen of the twenty two notified villages sit under Dhandhuka with the other three under Barwala. Records here are labelled with the taluka as printed and are never relabelled as Dholera taluka.

A separate village named Dev Dholera exists in Bavla taluka. It is a different place, unrelated to this region, and it is deliberately excluded.

Six of the twenty two villages match the notification spelling only as a spelling variant in the non-agricultural book. Each carries that flag in the underlying data so the match can be audited or rejected.
