Gaps / Hebatpur, Sangasar, Sodhi
The three villages with no published rate
Three of the twenty two villages have no published farmland rate, so no charge can be worked out for them. This page explains which three, why each one is missing, and why a neighbour's rate was not used to fill the hole.
Two of the three sat in a different taluka when the region was notified, and the volume read for this project covers the taluka the other nineteen sit in. The third has no page anywhere in either volume at all. The distinction matters because one is fixable by reading more and the other may not be.
3 villages without a farmland rateTwo a taluka boundary problemOne an absence in the sourceLast verified: 4 August 2026
01Two different reasons
These three villages are named in the 2009 notification with their survey number counts and their areas. They are real, they are in the region, and the farmland rate book does not price them.
| Village | Taluka in 2009 | Schedule serial | Survey numbers in the schedule | Area in the schedule | What the rate book has |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hebatpur | Barwala | 1 | 1,086 | 72.6594 sq km | 34 built-land rates |
| Sangasar | Barwala | 2 | 790 | 35.4928 sq km | 4 built-land rates |
| Sodhi | Barwala | 3 | 588 | 40.4975 sq km | nothing at all |
Hebatpur and Sangasar sat in Barwala taluka when the region was notified in 2009. The farmland volume for Ahmedabad district was read for Dhandhuka taluka, where the other nineteen villages sit, so those two fall outside the extraction. They do carry built-land rates, because the other volume covers them.
Sodhi is different. It has no page anywhere in either volume. The built-land volume was checked page by page and no page for it exists. That is not an extraction gap, it is an absence in the source.
02What was not done about it
The obvious fix would be to take the rate from a neighbouring village and apply it. Hebatpur and Sangasar sit next to villages that are priced. The numbers would look entirely plausible on the page and nobody reading them would know.
That is exactly why it was not done. A borrowed rate is a fabricated rate with a respectable source attached, and a site whose whole claim is that every figure traces to a printed page cannot start inventing the ones that are missing. The three villages carry what the books actually publish for them and no more.
No farmland rate is published for Hebatpur, Sangasar or Sodhi in the ASR 2011 volume read for this region, and no rate from a neighbouring village has been substituted for any of them. Hebatpur and Sangasar carry built-land rates from the other volume. Sodhi carries nothing.
03What would close it
For Hebatpur and Sangasar, the Barwala taluka section of the same farmland volume. It exists; it was simply not the section extracted for this region, and reading it would put both villages on the same footing as the other nineteen.
For Sodhi, a page in either volume, or a statement from the Superintendent of Stamps that none exists. Neither has been found.
If you hold either document, send it to [email protected]. The three village pages will be rebuilt around it.
The words on this page, in plain English
- Jantri
- The government's own price list for land. It is printed village by village and it sets the value the tax is charged on, whatever price the buyer and seller agree between themselves.
- Annual Statement of Rates, the ASR
- The formal name of the jantri. The edition used throughout this site is ASR 2011, which came into force on 18 April 2011 and is the edition available as a published rate book.
- Survey number
- The number the revenue record uses to identify one piece of land, the way a house has a street number.
- Non-agricultural land, NA land
- Farmland that has been legally converted to building use by an order under section 65 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code. Until that order exists the land is still farmland in law, whatever is standing on it.
- Gamtal
- The old built-up core of a village, the houses and lanes rather than the fields around them. It carries its own rate in the jantri.
