Circle Rates

Before buying any Real Estate property, first see the circle rate of the area, every year there is a change in circle rate after the government survey.

In any city, the local administration imposes a fixed tax, stamp duty, on the purchase and sale of property. The standard price on which such tax is levied is called circle rate. Circle rate in Madhya Pradesh is also known as collector guideline.
The market price of land varies in different areas of a city. Similarly, the circle rate also varies from one area to another. There will be no registry in the purchase or in sale of property at a price below the circle rate.

Connection between circle rate and market rate:

The market value of the property has a direct bearing on the circle rate of the area. The government conducts survey every year and changes the circle rate on this basis. If the market rate of an area is less than the circle rate, then the tax has to be paid at the circle rate.
