Circle Rate Calculator

The circle rate is the minimum value the government sets for land and property, per square metre, for working out stamp duty and registration fees. It varies by district, locality, distance from the main road and type of property, such as residential, commercial or agricultural. The rates in this calculator are from the October 2025 revision, which raised rates by about 9-22% on average across the State. Confirm the current rate at the Sub-Registrar office before you register.

Male buyers pay 5% of the property value. Female buyers pay 3.75% on the first ₹25 lakh of value and 5% on any amount above ₹25 lakh, so on a ₹50 lakh purchase a woman pays ₹2,18,750 instead of ₹2,50,000. Defence personnel get the same concessional rate on the first ₹25 lakh. Stamp duty is charged on the circle-rate value or the sale price, whichever is higher. Confirm current rates at the Sub-Registrar office before you register.

The registration fee is 2% of the circle-rate value or the sale price, whichever is higher, capped at ₹50,000. The cap was raised from ₹25,000 with effect from 18 November 2025. It is paid on top of stamp duty, and this calculator applies the cap automatically.

Use this calculator: choose the district, then the tehsil or zone, then the locality to see the rates listed for it from the October 2025 revision. The official rates are held by the Sub-Registrar office and published on the Uttarakhand Stamps and Registration Department portal, registration.uk.gov.in, and the official rate is the one used at registration.

It depends on the exact locality, the distance from the main road and the type of property, and the range is wide: premium areas such as Rajpur Road carry some of the highest rates in the State, while outlying areas such as Vikasnagar and Chakrata are far lower. The Dehradun rates in this calculator are from the revision that took effect on 5 October 2025. Select Dehradun and your locality in the calculator above to see the figure, and confirm it at the Sub-Registrar office before you register, as rates can change at any revision.

This calculator uses the same stamp duty rates for every type of land. What usually differs is the circle rate: agricultural land generally has a much lower rate than residential or commercial land in the same locality, so the duty is worked out on a lower value. Who can buy it is a separate question. Outside municipal limits, since 1 May 2025 an outside buyer (decided by the Section 154 test, not by domicile) cannot buy land for agriculture or horticulture in 11 of the 13 districts. In Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar, which are not exempt, it needs prior State Government sanction and an affidavit that the land will be used only for agriculture, horticulture or connected uses. Separately, FEMA bars NRIs and OCI card holders from buying agricultural land, plantation property or a farmhouse anywhere in India, though they can inherit it.

You can agree a lower price, but it does not lower the duty. Stamp duty and the registration fee are charged on the circle-rate value or the sale price, whichever is higher, so on a price below the circle rate you still pay on at least the circle-rate value. A price below the circle rate can also have income-tax consequences for both the buyer and the seller, so take a CA's advice first.

There is no fixed schedule. The rates in this calculator come from the October 2025 revision, which came after the previous statewide revision in February 2023. Rates can change at any revision, so confirm the current rate at the Sub-Registrar office before you register.
