Plot cost calculator

Tell this calculator the rate you were quoted and the size of the plot, and it adds the two government charges you cannot avoid: Gujarat stamp duty at 4.9 percent and registration at 1 percent. It also converts your rate to a per sq ft figure so two offers can be compared fairly. It does not guess at a market price, because no official one exists.

In rupees, per unit selected below. Use the figure the developer or broker quoted you.
Base plot valueRs 0
Stamp duty (4.9%)Rs 0
Registration (1%)Rs 0
All-in totalRs 0
Equivalent rateRs 0 / sq ft

How the arithmetic works

The base value is the rate multiplied by the area, once both are converted to the same unit. One sq yd is nine sq ft, and one acre is 4,840 sq yd. Stamp duty in Gujarat works out to an effective 4.9 percent, and registration adds another 1 percent. Both are calculated on the base value. Durable

Worked example. Stamp duty and registration rates from the official IGR Gujarat help files on garvi.gujarat.gov.in, read 11 August 2026.
Worked exampleAmount
250 sq yd at Rs 9,500 per sq ydRs 23,75,000
Stamp duty at 4.9%Rs 1,16,375
Registration at 1%Rs 23,750
All-in totalRs 25,15,125
Stamp duty is charged on whichever is higher, the price you paid or the jantri rate. Jantri is the Gujarat government's own assessed value for a piece of land, published by the revenue department. If the jantri value is higher than what you actually paid, duty is worked out on the jantri figure instead. Confirm the applicable jantri with the Dhandhuka sub-registrar office before you fix a budget.

This calculator leaves out development charges, legal fees and anything a particular project adds on top. Ask for the full quote in writing.

Cost questions

What are stamp duty and registration charges in Gujarat?

Effective stamp duty is 4.9 percent (3.5 percent basic plus a 1.4 percent surcharge) and registration is 1 percent. Duty is calculated on the higher of the agreement value or the jantri rate. A registration-fee waiver exists for property registered in a woman's sole name; a separate claimed 1 percent stamp-duty concession for women is not reliably corroborated, so this calculator does not apply it.

Is there an official price for Dholera plots?

No. The government publishes a land-pricing policy and the rules for allotment, which is the process by which it hands plots to buyers, but it does not publish a live market rate. Any per square yard price you see is a broker or portal quote. That is why this tool asks for the price you were quoted instead of pretending to know one.

What else should I budget beyond stamp duty?

Ask the developer in writing for the full figure, including development or maintenance charges, legal fees, and any club or infrastructure charge the project adds. If the plot sits inside a sanctioned TP scheme, which is the government Town Planning layout that turns farmland into numbered building plots, ask them to confirm its non-agricultural status and its Final Plot number in the same letter. The Final Plot number is the new number your land is given under that scheme.
