Following the direction of the State Government, new circle rates of properties have been enforced from Thursday with no change being effected in the maximum registration fee that remains fixed at `25,000.
As per rule, the land purchasers would have to pay two per cent as registration fee for a piece of land or plot amounting to `12.50 lakh. However, the maximum registration fee is `25,000. The circle rate has been fixed as based on width of roads in the state capital, said Dehradun district magistrate Ravinath Raman, adding that distance of the plot or land from the main road also counted.
“At some places, the circle rate has been reduced on account of distances from the road. This would help the common people. The district administration had released circle rate based on government order,” DM said.
On June 6, the cabinet had fixed the circle rate and later the government order was released. Five months ago, there was increase in circle rate at some places in the State capital. “The common people would get relief due to reduction in circle rate at some places,” he said.
As per rule, the land purchasers would pay two per cent as registration fee for a piece of land or plot worth Rs 12.50 lakh. However, the maximum registration fee is Rs 25, 000. This means that the big property dealers who purchase large plots or lands would be benefited as the amount they have to pay stands at `25, 000 as land registration fee.
