Valinda: The Village Record

This page is the full official record for Valinda, a village next to Dholera SIR that is not inside it. It matters because land here gets marketed as Dholera SIR land, and the boundary list says otherwise.

Where Valinda sits, and what it is not

Valinda is a village in Dhandhuka taluka, Ahmadabad district, Gujarat. Its Census village code is 511903, which is the number to quote when you want a record rather than a name, because names in this area are transliterated differently in every register. The rate book prints this village as VALINDA.

The nearest statutory town is BOTAD, 14 kilometres away, and the district headquarters, Ahmedabad, was recorded at 100 kilometres. Its own taluka headquarters, DHANDHUKA, was 40 kilometres off. The PIN code is 382463. All of these are Census 2011 figures recorded in 2009, so they describe the roads of that time and not the expressway that opened in 2026.

What the 2009 survey found here

Of the 128 yes or no facility questions the Census asked, Valinda recorded 47 as available and 65 as not available. The table below is that answer sheet in full, grouped the way the Census groups it. Remember what these dates mean: the amenity questions were surveyed in 2009 and published in 2011. A school built since will not be here, and neither will one that closed.

The official land rates for Valinda

The 2011 rate book prints 39 rate rows for this village. The highest is Rs 211 a square metre and the lowest Rs 61, with a middle value of Rs 73. That puts it 6th of the 50 outside villages on its highest rate and 21st on its typical rate.

Rates are set by survey number, not by village, which is why the survey numbers are printed in full below. If somebody quotes you a rate for this village without a survey number, they are quoting an average of the rows in this table and calling it a price.

ASR-2011 is the stamp duty valuation floor set by the Superintendent of Stamps on 18 April 2011. It is not a market price, not an asking price and not a transaction price, and it is not the 2023 revision. Every row below carries the page of the rate book it was read from.

What to check before you buy here

Four checks, in the order that saves you the most time, and the first one is the one this page exists for.

1. Confirm the boundary. This village is not on the development authority's 22 village list. If a listing describes land here as being in Dholera SIR, that description is wrong before you get to any other question. Ask to see the village named on the authority's own boundary notification.
2. Get the survey number. Then find it in the rate table above. The state itself priced land in this village across a range, and the survey number is what decides where in that range a plot sits.
3. Check the land class. Grazing land, called gauchar, cannot be sold by a private seller. Barren and uncultivable land is cheap for reasons that do not go away. Both are in the land table above at the village level, and both need checking at the plot level on the 7/12 record.
4. Check the registration. If it is a plotted development, it needs a GUJRERA number you can look up on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in. A claim of being registered with no number is not a registration.

Our full checklist walks through the rest, including the 30 year title chain and the N.A. order.
