What are circle rates?
Circle rates, called ready-reckoner rates in Pune, refer to the minimum property value fixed by the Maharashtra government for a specific locality. These rates are periodically revised according to the market dynamics. Circle rates are an indicator of the expected property prices in a locality. During property registration, a buyer pays the stamp duty and registration charges based on the actual transaction value or the circle rate, whichever is higher. The circle rate is calculated by taking into consideration several factors:
- Location: Circle rates are higher in expensive localities compared to other localities.
- Property usage: These property rates set by the government are lower for residential properties than commercial properties.
- Facilities in an area: The presence of proper infrastructure and other social amenities influences the property values in an area.
- Property age: Circle rates may differ based on the age of the structure.
