This page tells you how much more the government valued land on a highway than land on an ordinary road or in the interior, worked out from every rate row in the official 2011 book for this taluka. It matters because frontage is the one thing sellers charge a premium for, and here is what the state itself thought that premium was worth.
The short version
Highway frontage carried a median of 127 rupees a square metre. District road frontage carried 73, which is exactly what general interior land carried. So the state priced a highway and priced nothing at all for a district road. We also checked irrigation and found a two rupee difference, which killed a page we had planned.
What this page is
This is a three row ranking, and three rows is a chart rather than a listicle, so this is a short page and stays one. The Gujarat rate book does not price farmland by a single number. It first sorts every parcel into one of three land situations, and only then sets a rate. This page shows what each of those three situations was actually worth in 2011, computed across all 2,764 rate rows for the taluka.
What jantri means. Jantri is the Gujarati name for the Annual Statement of Rates, the government's own table of what land is worth for the purpose of charging stamp duty. When you register a sale, the duty is calculated on the higher of what you actually paid and the jantri rate. It is a floor set by the state, not a valuation of your plot, and the edition here is the one that came into force on 18 April 2011.
It is still worth reading fifteen years later for one reason: it is the only rate for this land that a government ever published and made free to check. Everything else you will be quoted is a seller's number.
What frontage was worth
Land on a national or state highway carried a median of 127 rupees a square metre. Land on a district road carried 73. General land, meaning everything not on a named road, also carried 73. So the premium the state recognised was for highway frontage specifically, and being on a district road was worth nothing at all over ordinary interior land.
That is a roughly 74 percent premium for a highway, and it is computed from the book rather than asserted. Note also the ranges: the highest general land rate in the taluka, 365, is higher than the highest highway rate, 338. Frontage moves the middle, not the ceiling.
| # | Land situation, as the rate book prints it | Rate rows | Median (Rs/sq m) | Lowest | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | On National / State Highway | 230 | 127 | 38 | 338 |
| 2 | On District Main / Other District Road | 350 | 73 | 37 | 343 |
| 3 | General | 2,184 | 73 | 16 | 365 |
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.
The irrigation premium that is not there
While we had the whole book open we checked one more thing, because it is the claim we hear most often. Across this taluka the median rate for irrigated land was 78 rupees a square metre, and for non irrigated land it was 76, across 408 and 2,356 rate rows respectively.
Two rupees. Whatever irrigation was worth to a farmer here, the state's own valuation barely registered it. We had planned a page ranking villages by their irrigation premium and killed it when the number came back, because there is no premium to rank. Publishing the empty result honestly is worth more than publishing a page built on a difference that small.
How to use this without being misled
Use the band, not the village, as your first question about a plot's official value. Ask which land situation the rate book puts your survey number in. Then read that village's record on this site, where every rate row is printed with its survey numbers, its band and the page of the rate book it came from.
And keep the date in mind. This is 2011. The 2023 revision is a different document, it is not in this dataset, and we do not have it, so we do not quote it.
