DLC Rate Lookup Rajasthan: How to Check Circle Rates (2026)
How to find the DLC (District Level Committee) rate for a plot in Rajasthan, who sets it, and why it is not the same as market price.
The DLC rate is Rajasthan's government minimum land value, used to calculate stamp duty. You can look it up through the Registration and Stamps Department's online services, and this guide shows how and what to watch for.
What is a DLC rate?
In Rajasthan, the minimum land value used to calculate stamp duty is commonly called the DLC rate, after the District Level Committee. It is Rajasthan's version of what other states call a circle rate. A deed cannot normally be registered at a value below it, even if the actual price paid is lower.
To understand how it differs from what land really sells for, read circle rate vs market rate.
Who notifies the DLC rate?
The Registration and Stamps Department of Rajasthan administers the rates, and the district-level committee process gives them their name. We could not confirm from a primary source the exact notification procedure or how often rates are revised, and secondary articles disagree on whether a municipal body or a district committee is responsible. For your plot, rely on what the department publishes, not on a summary.
Where to look it up
The Registration and Stamps Department site is igrs.rajasthan.gov.in, and online registration services run on e-Panjiyan. Published guides point to a valuation tool on e-Panjiyan, but the department home page we reviewed did not itself mention DLC lookup, so we could not confirm the current menu name. Look for words like "DLC", "valuation" or "market value" on the portal.
Step-by-step lookup
- Open e-Panjiyan or the IGRS site and find the DLC or valuation option.
- Select the district, then the area or sub-registrar office (SRO) as the form requires.
- Choose the zone, colony or village, and the land type: agricultural, residential, commercial or other.
- Enter the captcha and view the rate, noting the unit (per square metre, per hectare or other).
- Save or print the page, with the date.
If the online tool does not list your village, the local SRO can tell you which rate applies.
Date your screenshot
Rates get revised. Save a dated copy of the rate page or SRO letter so you can show what applied when you registered.
Agricultural land and units
Agricultural land rates are usually quoted per hectare or similar, while local deals are talked about in bigha. Convert carefully using bigha and biswa in Rajasthan. If land is being converted to non-agricultural use, the rate class can change, see land conversion under Section 90A.
Why local zones and land types matter
A DLC schedule is not one number per district. It is usually broken down by area, sub-registrar office, zone or colony, and by land type. Two plots a few kilometres apart can fall in different classes, and the same plot can move class if its use changes. This is why a quick web search for a district average rarely matches what the registrar will apply.
We have deliberately not listed Jaipur or Jodhpur rates. We did not fetch an official notification for either city, and a figure copied from a blog could be out of date or wrong. Use the official lookup for the exact plot, and ask the sub-registrar to confirm in writing if the amount matters to your budget.
- Check whether your plot sits inside a municipal limit, a development authority area or open rural land.
- Confirm the land type on the revenue record, since that decides which rate column applies.
- If the land is near a new highway or industrial area, ask whether recent revisions have been notified.
- Compare the DLC rate with recent actual deals nearby, to understand the gap.
Buyers often also need the revenue records for the plot. Our upcoming guides on Jamabandi Nakal in Rajasthan and mutation status in Rajasthan cover that side.
How DLC rate affects your costs
Stamp duty and registration fee are calculated on the higher of the deed value and the DLC value. For current percentages, see stamp duty and registration charges by state. We do not quote Rajasthan rates here, because they change and we did not fetch an official notification. Jaipur and Jodhpur figures are also left out for that reason.
What the DLC rate does not tell you
- It is not the market price, which can be far higher near highways and cities.
- It does not confirm title or clear records.
- It can lag actual development in a corridor.
- It does not replace a valuation for a loan.
