What is the circle rate? How is it different from the market rate?
The circle rate is the minimum value states assign to land and other properties. This is done to levy state taxes on transactions of immovable properties. Stamp duty and registration fees are two of the main state taxes levied on property transactions in the country.
Unlike circle rate where authorities decide the minimum rate of property, the market rate is the actual price at which a property is bought and sold in an area at a specific time. Often, market rates are higher than the circle rates of the property as governments keep changing the circle rate periodically. Changes in the value of an area are reflected more imminently in market rates of properties. This can be better understood with an example.
If the government announces a new airport in a city, the localities close to the airport would see their value rising immediately in the market. Until the state government takes a decision on hiking rates, the circle rate will remain the same.
