Tool / every published rate
Work out the charge on your own plot
Choose your village, choose the rate that matches your land and enter the size. This works out the stamp duty and the registration fee and shows the arithmetic, using the same published government rates as every other page here.
Nothing is sent anywhere. The rates are built into the page and the sum runs in your browser. Every result shows its working and names the page of the rate book the rate came from, so you can check it against the printed source.

01Work out your own plot
Pick the village, pick the rate that describes your land, and enter the size. The calculator holds every rate the government publishes for the twenty two villages and does the same three step sum used on every other page here.
If more than one rate looks like it could describe your land, that is normal. A village carries several rates applying to different survey numbers, and which one applies to yours is on the record for that survey number. Work it out both ways and you will have the range.
02The two rates it applies
The calculator applies these two rates and nothing else. They are the same two rates used on every other page of this site.
| Charge | Rate | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty | 4.9% | The price in the deed or the government valuation, whichever is higher, on farmland. The government valuation outright on converted land. |
| Registration fee | 1% | The same amount, with no upper limit stated |
03What this cannot tell you
It cannot tell you which rate applies to your survey number, because that is on the record for that number rather than in any published table. It cannot tell you what the land is worth, and it does not try.
It also uses the 2011 edition of the rate book, which is the edition available as a published document. If a later revision is in force, the shape of the calculation is unchanged and the rate is not. The result is an illustration of how the charge is built, not the amount a Sub-Registrar will demand.
On farmland, stamp duty is charged on the price in the deed or on the government valuation, whichever is higher. This calculator works from the government valuation. Where the price actually paid exceeds it, the duty will be higher than the figure shown.
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.
- Rate band
- One printed line in the jantri: a class of land, a road situation and one rate. A village usually has several, and which one applies depends on where the plot sits.
- Survey number
- The number the revenue record uses to identify one piece of land, the way a house has a street number.
- Consideration
- The price actually written into the deed.
- Market value
- Not the price on the street. In this context it is the value the government calculates from the jantri, and it is what the tax is charged on.
