By Jaiprime Research Desk · Reviewed by Rishabh GargUpdated Rajasthan raised DLC rates by about 10% statewide from 1 April 2026, and Jaipur's district committee approved a further revision reported at 10% to 49% depending on the zone. Because stamp duty is charged on the higher of DLC value and price, many buyers now pay more duty even where prices have not moved.
The DLC (District Level Committee) rate is Rajasthan’s minimum valuation for property, used to calculate stamp duty. From 1 April 2026, rates rose by about 10% statewide. The Jaipur District Rate Determination Committee then approved a further city revision, reported at between 10% and 49% depending on the zone. In C-Scheme, for example, the DLC rate for residential flats above 500 sq m was reported revised upward by about 8% in April 2026.
Duty is charged on whichever is higher: the DLC value or the agreed price. In areas where prices were close to DLC, the revision pushed the DLC value above the price, so buyers now pay duty on a higher number.
A 200 sq yd plot agreed at ₹40 lakh:
| Before (DLC value ₹38 lakh) | After (DLC value ₹46 lakh) | |
|---|---|---|
| Duty charged on | ₹40 lakh (price) | ₹46 lakh (DLC) |
| Stamp duty (6%) | ₹2,40,000 | ₹2,76,000 |
| Cess (20% of duty) | ₹48,000 | ₹55,200 |
| Registration (1%) | ₹40,000 | ₹46,000 |
| Total | ₹3,28,000 | ₹3,77,200 |
