When is it the right choice?

Collateral valuation: a government floor value next to a market estimate

Good for

  • Collateral valuation: a government floor value next to a market estimate
  • Stamp duty estimation in a property app
  • Real estate portals showing the circle rate of a locality
  • Land aggregation: compare village rates across a tehsil

Limits

  • It is the floor value stamp duty is charged on, not a market price
  • Rates are loaded for most but not all states: Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Punjab and several union territories show no circle rate loaded on the coverage page
  • Rates are by village, not by individual plot or street unless the state publishes a locality
