Before the title of a property is transferred, the property must be registered. The price used for this registration purpose has a lower limit to it. This lower limit is known as the circle rate of property. The circle rate is determined by the governing authority which is most often the municipal corporation of a city.
This blog dives deeper into the various circle rates for Delhi and how you can use them to calculate the value of your property.

Circle Rate For Residential Units In Delhi
Similar to plots, residential properties in Delhi also need to abide by the circle rate set by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for the purposes of valuation. The circle rate for residential units or flats varies according to the following factors:

2. Type of colony, i.e. private colonies
3. Size of flat
4. Multi-storey apartments
The following is the circle rate for residential units in Delhi.
Size of Flat Square Meter | Circle Rate for flats by DDA or in Societies Rs./Square Meter | Circle Rate for flats by Private Builders Rs./Square Meter | The multiplying factor for flats in private colonies |
=/<30 | 50,400 | 55,400 | 1.10 |

Circle Rates Based on Age Of Property In Delhi
The age of a property affects its valuation for all intents and purposes. Thus the age factors into the calculation of circle rates of a property as well. Instead of a fixed circle rate depending on the age of a property, a multiplying factor is used to determine the effect of age on the circle rate of a property.
Age | Multiplying Factor |
Before 1960 | 0.5 |
1960-69 | 0.6 |
1970-79 | 0.7 |
1980-89 | 0.8 |
1990-99 | 0.9 |
After 2000 | 1.0 |
Calculating the Circle Rate Of A Property In Delhi
There are a couple of ways to calculate the circle rate of your property in Delhi.
Calculating Circle Rate Of Property Offline
To calculate the circle rate for various types of properties offline, use the following formulas:
1. Circle Rate of Plot = Size of Plot x Circle Rate as per zone
2. Circle Rate of Property Constructed on Plot = Size of Plot x Circle Rate as per Zone + Built-up Area of property x Minimum Construction Cost x Multiplying Factor as per Age
3. Circle Rate of Apartments = Built-up Area of property x Minimum Construction Cost x Multiplying Factor as per Age
4. Circle Rate of Multi-Storey Apartments = Built-up Area of property x Circle Rate for Multi-Storey Apartments
Calculating Circle Rate Of Property Online
For those who do not wish to go through the tedious process of calculating the circle rates for their property manually, there is another option. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi provides an e-Circle Rate Calculator.
All you need to do is fill in certain property information like the sub-registrar for your property, locality your property is situated in, Deed name, and the Sub-deed name.
