Jantri (Ready Reckoner Rate)

Jantri is the Gujarat government's ready-reckoner rate, the official minimum value the state assigns to land and property in a given area. It functions as the base on which stamp duty and registration charges are calculated, so a deal is generally taxed on the higher of the jantri value or the actual transaction value.

Because it sets the floor for duty, the jantri directly affects your transaction cost. In Gujarat, general stamp duty is 4.9 percent, made up of 3.5 percent basic plus a 1.4 percent surcharge, with 1 percent registration, for 5.9 percent in total. By type, residential is 4.9 percent, agricultural 3 percent and commercial 5 percent, with registration at 1 percent. The jantri value feeds into all of these calculations.

For a Dholera buyer, the practical point is that duty is computed against the applicable jantri, not just the price you negotiate. The specific jantri rate for a particular Dholera survey number or plot is set by the state and is not a fixed figure we publish here, so confirm the current rate for your parcel with the Sub-Registrar or the Garvi portal.
