Real estate updates from government — the ones that actually change your numbers.
Government policy — Jantri rates, stamp duty, RERA registration — changes the economics of a property deal as much as the property itself does. This page tracks what's actually affecting buyers, sellers and investors in Ahmedabad right now, in plain language, with a clear line between what's confirmed and what's still pending.
Jantri rate revision — where it actually stands
The Jantri rate is Gujarat's government-fixed minimum property valuation, also called the Annual Statement of Rates. Stamp duty is calculated on whichever is higher — your actual sale price or the Jantri value — so a revision changes real transaction costs directly.
Current stamp duty & registration fees
As of our most recent check. These are state-set rates and can change with notice.
Stamp Duty Charges
Stamp duty is charged at 4.9% of the higher value between the property's sale price and the Jantri value, as per the applicable government regulations.
Registration Fee for Male Buyers
Male buyers are required to pay a 1% registration fee based on the applicable property value during the registration process.
Registration Fee for Female Buyers
To encourage women’s property ownership, female buyers (sole owners or first-named applicants) are exempt from registration fees, subject to government eligibility guidelines.
RERA Gujarat (GUJRERA) — what it actually means for you
The Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority regulates the sector under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, and registration is mandatory for most projects above the threshold plot size.
Registration is verifiable
Every registered project has a GUJRERA number you can check directly against the developer and project name.
Possession timelines are declared
Registered projects must state a RERA possession date, giving you a benchmark to hold the developer against.
Complaints have a formal route
Disputes over delays or discrepancies can be raised with GUJRERA rather than relying solely on the developer's goodwill.
No number is a red flag
If a project above the threshold size can't produce a RERA registration number, that alone is reason for caution.
How to check current rates directly
You can verify stamp duty, Jantri and registration fees directly on official government portals. Here’s how:
Jantri rate
Visit the Garvi Gujarat portal (garvi.gujarat.gov.in), select your district, area type and locality to see the current official valuation.
RERA registration
Search the GUJRERA portal (gujrera.gujarat.gov.in) by project or developer name to confirm registration status and declared possession date.
Stamp duty calculation
Compare your agreement value against the Jantri rate for the property — duty is charged on whichever figure is higher.

The Jantri rate, also called the Annual Statement of Rates, is the Gujarat government's minimum official valuation for land and property. Stamp duty and registration fees are calculated on whichever is higher — the actual sale price or the Jantri value — so it directly affects what a buyer pays at registration, regardless of the negotiated deal price.
Has the new Jantri rate been implemented in Gujarat yet?
As of our most recent check, no. A major revision was drafted in November 2024, with increases reported between roughly 5 and 2,000 percent depending on the area, originally planned for April 2025. It was delayed after public and builder objections and remains pending, with the 2023 rates still in effect. This status can change, so always verify current rates before finalizing a transaction.
What is the current stamp duty and registration fee in Gujarat?
As of our most recent check, stamp duty is 4.9% of the higher of the sale value or Jantri value, with a 1% registration fee for male buyers and no registration fee for female buyers. These rates are set by the state government and can change, so confirm the current figure before registration.
Is RERA registration mandatory for all real estate projects in Ahmedabad?
RERA registration is mandatory in Gujarat for real estate projects above the threshold plot size and unit count, covering most residential and commercial developments. Buyers should verify a project's registration number directly on the GUJRERA portal before booking a unit.
How can I check the latest Jantri rate for my property?
The Jantri rate for any property in Gujarat can be checked directly on the Garvi Gujarat portal by selecting the district, area type and locality. This is the most reliable source, since rates and revision timelines change.
Will Space Management alert me to future government rate changes?
Yes. We track Jantri, stamp duty and RERA developments as part of advising clients on active transactions, and flag anything that materially affects timing or cost.
