Besides the specific rules and regulations for purchasing a property in the state, a buyer should also be aware of the circle rates, the property rate fixed by the state government for the purpose of stamp duty payment. The circle rates are periodically revised by the state government. Usually, circle rates are higher for high-end localities and relatively lower for other areas.
