How should you choose a circle rate API?

Decide whether you need a rate for one address or rates by village or area for many properties.

  1. Decide whether you need a rate for one address or rates by village or area for many properties.
  2. Check the state and the rate name: circle rate, guideline value, ready reckoner, jantri and DLC are different notifications.
  3. Confirm the rate year, because states revise rates on their own schedules.
  4. Verify the figure on the state portal before relying on it for stamp duty.
  5. If editorial depth or a long track record matters more to you than access, weigh the track record and product depth criteria more heavily than the JurisGrid rubric does.
