Quick answer
Gujarat's jantri in 2026 is the 2011 Annual Statement of Rates doubled, in force since 15 April 2023; the survey-based draft of November 2024 has not been notified. GARVI publishes official PDFs for six municipal corporations and a zone-by-zone search for the rest. Stamp duty (4.9%) and registration (1%) are charged on the higher of jantri value and sale price.
Official jantri PDFs by city
These are the Government of Gujarat's own files on GARVI, checked on 29 Sep 2026. The printed figures are the 2011 rates; the rate in force is twice the printed figure, as the resolution of 4 February 2023 directs.

What jantri is
Jantri, formally the Annual Statement of Rates (ASR), is the minimum value the Superintendent of Stamps assigns to land and buildings in every value zone of Gujarat. It is the floor for stamp duty and registration, the reference for income-tax rules on under-valued sales, and the base on which the state computes revenue. It is not a market price: in prime urban zones the market is often two to three times jantri, and in some rural zones jantri is above what land actually fetches.

How to check jantri on GARVI, step by step
- Open GARVI → Jantry rate. The page header confirms the doubling order.
- Select the district, then the taluka. For a corporation city, pick the city option (for example Surat City, Ahmedabad City).
- Choose the village or city value zone. For a new project, the Gujarat RERA certificate names the TP scheme and final plot number, which identifies the zone.
- Pick the survey number or final plot. The result lists rates per square metre for open land and for each construction type: residential flat, residential building, shop, office, industrial.
- Multiply the applicable rate by the area in square metres on your document, then double it if you are reading a 2011 PDF rather than the live page.
Worked example: a flat in a ₹45,000 per sq m zone
A 2,500 sq ft flat is 232.3 sq m. If the residential-flat rate for its zone is ₹45,000 per sq m, the jantri value is ₹1,04,53,500. If the agreed price is ₹2.5 crore, duty is charged on ₹2.5 crore: stamp duty ₹12,25,000 (4.9%) and registration ₹2,50,000 (1%). If the agreed price were ₹95 lakh, duty would still be charged on the ₹1.05 crore jantri value. Because the jantri value exceeds the price by more than 10%, the ₹9.5 lakh difference would also be taxable in the buyer's hands under section 56(2)(x).
| Item | Price above jantri | Price below jantri |
|---|---|---|
| Agreed price | ₹2,50,00,000 | ₹95,00,000 |
| Jantri value (232.3 sq m × ₹45,000) | ₹1,04,53,500 | ₹1,04,53,500 |
| Value used for duty | ₹2,50,00,000 | ₹1,04,53,500 |
| Stamp duty 4.9% | ₹12,25,000 | ₹5,12,222 |
| Registration 1% | ₹2,50,000 | ₹1,04,535 |
| Section 56(2)(x) exposure (buyer) | None | ₹9,53,500 taxed as income |
Jantri and your taxes
Three tax rules key off the jantri value. Stamp duty and registration are charged on the higher of jantri and price. Section 50C deems the seller's sale consideration to be at least the jantri value when computing capital gains. Section 56(2)(x) taxes a buyer on the excess of jantri value over price when that excess is more than 10% of the price and more than ₹50,000. In Gujarat's prime zones prices run above jantri, so these rules bite mainly in resale deals struck below the guideline value and in family transfers.
Jantri and home loans
Lenders value a property themselves and lend up to 75% of that value on loans above ₹75 lakh (RBI loan-to-value caps). Jantri rarely limits the loan directly, but it sets the stamp duty and registration you must pay from your own funds, since those are excluded from the financed amount. See the home loan guide.
