DLC Rate Jodhpur: Lookup Table and Method (2026)

What the Jodhpur DLC rate is and who issues it

DLC stands for District Level Committee. The committee for Jodhpur, chaired at district level under the Collector with the registration officers as members, recommends and fixes the minimum rates (न्यूनतम दरें) at which land and buildings in each part of the district is to be valued for stamp duty. The Registration and Stamps Department (Inspector General of Registration and Stamps, Rajasthan) publishes the rates through its e-Panjiyan portal and, since the rates were mapped to khasra polygons, through a GIS DLC information portal. We describe the committee from its name and the portals' structure; we did not open the rule that constitutes it.

The DLC rate is a floor, not a price. The sub-registrar values land at the higher of the price in the deed and the DLC value, and stamp duty, registration fee and any surcharge follow that figure. Our explainer on circle rate vs market rate covers why the two diverge, and Section 50C and 56(2)(x) covers the income-tax side of a deed priced below the DLC value.

Jodhpur district has several sub-registrar offices (SR offices), each covering a set of tehsils and urban areas (the city has several SR offices, and the rural tehsils such as Luni, Osian, Bilara, Bhopalgarh, Shergarh, Phalodi (now a separate district) and Balesar each have their own). DLC rows are organised by SR office, then by rural village or urban colony. The Apna Khata jamabandi for the land names the village and tehsil you need.

Jodhpur DLC rate table (template)

The e-Panjiyan DLC pages load their content dynamically and the GIS portal returns a rate only after you select a district, SR office and village or colony, so no Jodhpur rate document could be read while writing this page. The template below follows the fields the GIS portal uses (district, SR name, village or colony, locality, land type) and the way Rajasthan DLC rows are organised. Fill it from the portal for your khasra and record the date shown.

Rajasthan DLC lists distinguish rural (ग्रामीण) and urban (शहरी) areas, and within rural areas typically separate agricultural land by irrigation class (for example irrigated, सिंचित, and unirrigated, असिंचित) and sometimes by distance from a highway or town. Whether your village row carries those splits, and in which unit, is something you read on the portal.

How to look up the DLC rate, step by step

There are two official routes. The first gives the rate list; the second ties the rate to a khasra polygon on the map.

Route 1: e-Panjiyan DLC rate

1. Open epanjiyan.rajasthan.gov.in and choose the DLC rate option. The DLC page is titled "Select a District".
2. Select Jodhpur, then the SR office, then whether the area is rural or urban, then the village or colony.
3. Read the rate for your land type and note the unit and any date or version shown on screen. Print or screenshot the result.

Route 2: GIS DLC portal (polygon-based)

1. Open gis.rajasthan.gov.in/DLCInfo, the E-Mapping polygon-based DLC information service. It uses khasra and village boundaries supplied by the Settlement Department.
2. Choose Rural or Urban. For rural land, select District Name, SR Name, Village Name, Locality Name and Land Type; for urban land, District Name, SR Name, Colony Name and Land Type. Click Apply Search.
3. Select the khasra on the map or enter its Khasra Id. The panel shows "DLC Information of Khasra with Maximum Rate" and "All DLC associated with Khasra with their rates", plus the coordinates of the selected point.
4. Read the maximum rate and the list of rates attached to the khasra. The portal states that its data is for viewing only and "shall not be considered for any legal matters", so confirm the figure at the SR office.

For the record side use Apna Khata; for a map cross-check use cadastral maps explained.

How to read a village or colony row

A Rajasthan DLC row names the SR office, the rural village or urban colony, sometimes a locality or road within it, the land type and the rate with its unit. Urban residential and commercial rates are commonly shown per square metre; agricultural rates are commonly shown per hectare or per bigha. Read the unit on screen before you multiply, because the bigha in Rajasthan is not one size.

Our page on bigha and biswa in Rajasthan gives a pucca bigha of 3,025 sq yd (27,225 sq ft, about 2,529 sq m, 0.625 acre) and a kachha bigha of 1,936 sq yd (17,424 sq ft, about 1,619 sq m, 0.4 acre), with 20 biswa to a bigha in both systems. Jodhpur sits in the Marwar belt, which our units page names as a former princely region without confirming whether pucca or kachha applies by default; in the arid tehsils the recorded unit may also be hectares, so read the jamabandi. The fixed conversions are 1 hectare = 10,000 sq m = 2.47105 acre and 1 acre = 4,840 sq yd = 4,046.86 sq m.

When the portal shows several rows for one khasra, each row is a different DLC category that touches the polygon (for example a highway band and an interior rate). The SR office will normally value at the applicable row for the land's recorded class and position; the "maximum rate" figure tells you the worst case for your budget.

How agricultural rates differ from residential rates

Agricultural land in a Jodhpur village is valued on its own DLC line, in a large unit (per hectare or per bigha) and at a figure per square metre that is normally a small fraction of the residential line for a colony in the same area. The consequences:

• Land recorded as agricultural in the jamabandi, with no conversion under Section 90A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, is valued on the agricultural line even if a farmhouse is planned. Read land conversion in Rajasthan (90A) for the conversion route.
• Converted land, land in an approved colony or land inside a development authority scheme takes the residential or commercial line, usually per square metre.
• Agricultural land on or near a national or state highway often has a separate, higher agricultural band. The GIS portal shows whether such a row touches your khasra.
• Structures are valued separately and added.

Much of Jodhpur district is unirrigated (barani) land, and DLC rows commonly carry a lower rate for unirrigated than for irrigated land, so the irrigation class in the jamabandi can change the duty base as much as the location does. Also read agricultural land rules in Rajasthan, which are more open to non-farmers than the hill states but still carry ceiling and conversion rules.

The method: turning a rate into a valuation

1. Take the recorded area from the jamabandi and convert it to the unit of the DLC row (hectares, bigha of the right kind, or square metres).
2. DLC value = area × rate for the correct land type and row, plus any multiplier in the notes, plus construction value for any building.
3. Compare with the deed price. The higher figure is the base for stamp duty, registration fee and surcharge.
4. Apply Rajasthan's stamp duty, surcharge and registration fee to that base. We do not print the rates here; see our Rajasthan stamp duty calculator page and the e-Panjiyan portal for the current figures and the concessions for women buyers.

Three worked examples (illustrative rates)

The rates below are illustrative placeholders chosen to show the arithmetic. They are not Jodhpur's DLC rates. Replace them with the figure from the portal.

Example 1: five pucca bigha of unirrigated agricultural land

5 pucca bigha × 2,529 sq m = 12,645 sq m = 1.2645 hectare. At an illustrative agricultural DLC rate of ₹15,00,000 per hectare the DLC value is 1.2645 × 15,00,000 = ₹18,96,750. Had the same "5 bigha" been kachha bigha (1,619 sq m each, 0.8095 hectare), the value would be ₹12,14,250. Ask which bigha the record uses before you compute.

Example 2: one hectare touching a highway

If the GIS portal shows a highway-band agricultural row of an illustrative ₹35,00,000 per hectare touching the khasra, the DLC value for 1 hectare is ₹35,00,000, against ₹15,00,000 on the interior row. Whether the SR office applies the band to the whole parcel or only the strip inside it is a question for the list notes and the office.

Example 3: a 300 sq m residential plot in a colony

At an illustrative urban residential DLC rate of ₹20,000 per sq m the land value is 300 × 20,000 = ₹60,00,000. A 120 sq m built structure valued at an illustrative ₹12,000 per sq m (₹14,40,000) is added if required: total ₹74,40,000. Duty follows the higher of this total and the deed price.

Jodhpur compared with other Rajasthan districts

All Rajasthan districts use the same DLC system, the same e-Panjiyan portal and the same GIS DLC portal, so the lookup steps are identical. What varies is the SR office map, the bigha convention in local speech and the highway and tourism bands the committee uses.

How to use this with your document

• Pull the jamabandi from Apna Khata and copy the village, tehsil, khasra numbers, recorded area with unit and the land class (and irrigation class if shown).
• Look up the khasra on the GIS DLC portal and the village row on e-Panjiyan; note the maximum rate, the row that matches your land class and the date shown.
• Convert the area to the row's unit and compute the DLC value with the method above.
• Write the higher of price and DLC value into your budget as the duty base and estimate duty, surcharge and fee on our Rajasthan stamp duty page.
• Check the deed draft against the record and the row: consideration, area, unit and khasra numbers must agree. See the land registration process.
• Ask the SR office to confirm the applicable row in writing before you fix the price. The GIS portal itself says its data is not for legal reliance.

What is unconfirmed

We could not read any Jodhpur DLC rate while writing: the e-Panjiyan DLC pages load dynamically and returned no content to our reader, and the GIS portal returns a figure only after a khasra is selected. We therefore print no rate, no revision date and no SR office list for Jodhpur. The description of the District Level Committee follows its name and the portal structure, not a rule we opened. Press reports in 2025 and 2026 described state-wide DLC increases; treat any figure in them as unconfirmed until you read it on the portal. The units described as typical (per hectare or per bigha for agricultural land, per square metre for urban plots) should be confirmed on screen. We did not confirm the current district boundaries on the portal dropdown after the 2023 reorganisation.
