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.

01

April 2023

The last officially implemented revision roughly doubled the previous 2011 rates, after a 12-year gap.

02

November 2024

A new "scientific" format was drafted, with reported increases ranging from roughly 5x to 2,000x in some areas.

03

April 2025

The revision was set to take effect, then delayed following objections from the public and developer bodies like CREDAI Gujarat.

04

Still pending

2023 rates remain in effect. The government has indicated a phased rollout later in 2026, but the exact date isn't confirmed.

The numbers

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.

Buyer protection

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.

Do it yourself

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.

What is the Jantri rate and why does it matter?

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.
