DLC value formula
DLC value = area in square metres × DLC rate per square metre. The Rajasthan government notifies DLC rates per square metre, colony by colony, separately for residential, commercial and agricultural use. Most buyers in Jaipur think in square feet or gaj, so convert first:
| From | To square metres |
|---|---|
| 1 sq ft | 0.0929 sq m |
| 1 sq yd (gaj) | 0.8361 sq m |
| 100 gaj plot | 83.61 sq m |
| 1,500 sq ft flat | 139.35 sq m |
Gaj to square feet and square metres (conversion table)
| Gaj (sq yd) | Square feet | Square metres |
|---|---|---|
| 50 gaj | 450 | 41.81 |
| 100 gaj | 900 | 83.61 |
| 111 gaj | 999 | 92.81 |
| 150 gaj | 1,350 | 125.42 |
| 200 gaj | 1,800 | 167.23 |
| 250 gaj | 2,250 | 209.03 |
| 300 gaj | 2,700 | 250.84 |
| 500 gaj | 4,500 | 418.06 |
Worked example: a 200 gaj plot
Say the DLC rate for the colony is ₹30,000 per sq m and the seller has agreed to ₹45 lakh.
- Area: 200 gaj = 167.23 sq m
- DLC value: 167.23 × ₹30,000 = ₹50,16,764
- Your price (₹45,00,000) is ₹5,16,764 below DLC, so duty is charged on the DLC value
- Registration cost for a male buyer: ₹4,50,505, which is ₹46,405 more than the agreement alone would attract
DLC value of a flat
For flats in multi-storey buildings, the valuation rules look at the built-up or super built-up area, the floor and the residential rate notified for multi-storey units in that area. The calculator gives you the straightforward area × rate figure, which is what most buyers need to sanity-check a quote. For the exact assessment of a particular unit, the e-Panjiyan valuation at the time of registration is final.
DLC rate vs market rate
The DLC rate is the government’s floor. The market rate is what buyers actually pay. In well-developed parts of Jaipur the market rate is usually above DLC, so duty is charged on the agreement. In areas where DLC rates were raised sharply, or in a slow market, the DLC value can be higher than the price you negotiate.
When your price is below DLC by more than the 10% tolerance allowed under the Income Tax Act, the difference can be taxed in the buyer’s hands under Section 56(2)(x), and the seller’s capital gains are computed on the DLC value under Section 50C. Discuss this with your CA before signing.
How to check the DLC rate online

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DLC rate?
DLC stands for District Level Committee. The DLC rate is the minimum value per square metre fixed by the Rajasthan government for property in a given colony. A property cannot be registered below its DLC value, so it sets the minimum stamp duty.
How do I calculate DLC value from DLC rate?
Convert the area to square metres and multiply by the DLC rate per square metre. For example, 150 sq m at ₹25,000 per sq m gives a DLC value of ₹37,50,000.
Is stamp duty paid on DLC value or market value?
On whichever is higher: the agreement (market) value or the DLC value.
What happens if I buy below the DLC rate?
You pay stamp duty on the DLC value anyway. If the gap is more than 10% of the DLC value, the difference may be taxed as income in your hands under Section 56(2)(x), and the seller’s capital gains are computed on the DLC value.
How many square feet are there in one gaj?
One gaj (square yard) is 9 square feet, or 0.836 square metres.
Where can I find the official DLC rate list for Jaipur?
On the e-Panjiyan portal of the Rajasthan Stamps and Registration Department (epanjiyan.rajasthan.gov.in), searchable by district, sub-registrar office and colony.
