What Are Circle Rates?

The circle rate is the lowest price at which a property is transferred and registered. Circle rates are fixed yearly or twice a year and are based on the typical rate of property registrations that take place in each tehsil. When determining the new circle rates, the difference between the market pricing and the rate at which registrations are occurring is also taken into consideration.

For the state government, the stamp duty collected on such properties is a significant source of income.  

Whereas, the market rate is the rate at which the property transaction occurs and its price is determined by the market forces.
