Gurgaon raises circle rates, property rates to head north
The revised collector rates, or circle rates, decided by the Gurgaon district administration will see a quantum jump in property rates in areas under New Residential Zones (NRZ).
These zones are cultivated land being developed into residential areas. The new rates will be applicable from July 4.
For populated areas, the administration has envisaged a nominal increase in rates — 10 to 12 per cent. The rationale, administration officials said, is to tap the growth potential of NRZs. “Property rates have not gone up much over the past few months in areas that are already developed,” Gurgaon DC Rakesh Gupta said. “So, in order to be realistic, there was no requirement to increase the circle rates there.”
But rates of agricultural land in villages where residential zones have been recently approved will rise between 200 and 300 per cent.
Among villages where property rates will double, or nearly triple, are Wazirpur, Daultabad, Dhankot, Khirki Daula and Sihi Sikandarpur.
Collector rates, or circle rates as they are known in Delhi, in DLF City and Sushant Lok have been increased by 10 per cent. It is a reflection of the sluggish property market of late, officials said.
In DLF Qutab Enclave Phases I and II, for instance, rates for residential property have been hiked from Rs 15,000 to Rs 16,500 per square yard (see box for details).
Land rates in Wazirabad, Samaspur, Gurgaon village, Shahpur, Sikanderpur Ghosi, Nathupur and other villages have been increased from Rs 40 lakh to Rs 70 Lakh per acre. Besides, 20 per cent extra stamp duty would be levied on land on Jaipur National Highway, Sohna Road, Pataudi Road and Sultanpur Road. These charges are payable up to 2 acre depth from the main road.
Similarly, 10 per cent extra stamp duty would be levied on land falling on link roads.
Real estate developers say the new circle rates are a reflection of real estate gurgaon trends and across NCR in the past few months. Circe rates had earlier been hiked in Delhi, followed by a rise in land rates in Noida and Greater Noida.
Gurgaon real estate developer R K Yadav said, “Even with the new rates, the price that buyers will pay in Gurgaon in white will be less than the going rate in parts of Delhi, especially in categories A, B and C.”
