Sample article. This guide is general starter content supplied with LucknowSquare. It is not an official notice. Dates, eligibility, prices and procedures change: always read the current notice on the official website before acting.

Overview

Circle rates are the minimum values per unit area used to calculate stamp duty on property registration. They vary by locality, property type and road position.

Where to find them

Circle rate lists for the district are published by the district administration and are available through the state registration portal (IGRS UP). Rates are revised periodically, so always check the latest list.

How they are used

Stamp duty is generally charged on the higher of the agreed price and the circle-rate value. Some property features, such as main-road frontage or a corner position, can change the applicable rate.

Tips

• Identify the exact locality or ward name used in the official list.
• Check whether the rate is for land, construction or both.
• Confirm with the sub-registrar's office if in doubt.
