What is Circle Rate?
The government's minimum land value for an area, used to compute stamp duty.
The district administration fixes minimum per-unit land values by area, road access and land type - the circle rate. Stamp duty is charged on the higher of the actual price or the circle-rate value. On this site's records, 'market value' is the circle-rate-based value and 'transaction value' is the declared price.
