Circle Rate Faridabad: Collector Rate Lookup and Method (2026)

What Haryana calls the circle rate, who fixes it for Faridabad district, where the official list is published, how to read a village or sector row, and how it sets the stamp duty base.

Farmland India Reviewed · Updated October 2026 · Official portals linked below

In Haryana the circle rate (सर्किल रेट) is officially the collector rate (कलेक्टर रेट): the minimum value per unit of area that the Deputy Commissioner fixes for each village, sector and colony in Faridabad district, and that the sub-registrar (उप पंजीयक) uses as the floor when a sale deed is registered. This page is a lookup tool without a widget: the table structure, where the official Faridabad list is published, the method, three worked examples and the checks to run against your own documents. Faridabad district runs from the industrial city to the Yamuna-side villages of Tigaon and Mohna and the Aravalli foothills around Dhauj, with new demand along the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad corridor and the Jewar airport side.

What the Faridabad collector rate is and who issues it

The collector rate takes its name from the district collector, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Faridabad. Each year the district administration prepares a draft list of minimum rates for every revenue village, urban sector, licensed colony and commercial zone in the district. Press reporting on the 2025 revision described the drafts being posted on district websites for public objections before the final list was approved and brought into force, and the 2024 revision was reported as taking effect from 1 December 2024 after the state government cleared the district recommendations. The exact approval chain can change from year to year, so read the signature block on the list you use.

The purpose is the same as a circle rate anywhere: when you register a sale deed, the value for stamp duty and registration fee is the higher of the price in the deed and the collector-rate value. Our guide to circle rate vs market rate explains why the two diverge, and Section 50C and 56(2)(x) covers the income-tax effect of a deed priced below the list.

Faridabad district has several tehsils and sub-tehsils (Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Badkhal, Tigaon, Dayalpur, Mohna, Gaunchi and Dhauj among them), each served by a sub-registrar or joint sub-registrar. The list is organised by tehsil and then by village or sector, so you need to know the tehsil in which your land's revenue village falls. The jamabandi for the land names the village and tehsil.

Rates not yet verified

Rates not yet verified by Farmland India: confirm on the Faridabad district website (faridabad.nic.in) and jamabandi.nic.in before relying on them. We did not obtain the current official rate document for this district while writing this page, so the table below is a blank template of the structure you will find there, and the worked examples use clearly labelled illustrative figures. Fill the template from the official list, not from a broker or a third-party website.

The Faridabad district website lists its collector rate documents by year; district websites in Haryana carry a Documents or Notices section where the collector rate PDFs are posted by year; we could not open the Faridabad site while writing. The documents are district PDFs and we could not open them while writing this page, so the table below is a template of the structure found in Haryana collector rate lists. Fill it from the official PDF for the current year.

Haryana lists frequently split agricultural land into irrigated (chahi, चाही) and unirrigated (barani, बारानी) or similar classes, and often carry a higher agricultural band for land touching a national or state highway or lying within a stated distance of it. Whether your list for the current year does so is something you read on the list itself.

How to look up the rate, step by step

  1. Open the Faridabad district website at faridabad.nic.in. Look for the collector rate documents; Haryana district sites normally post them under Documents or Notices by year; we could not open the Faridabad site while writing, so look for the collector rate heading and the current year.
  2. Open the document for the current year. Check the effective date and the signature of the issuing officer on the first or last page.
  3. Find the tehsil, then the revenue village or sector, exactly as written in the jamabandi.
  4. Read the rate for the land class that matches the record (agricultural, residential, commercial) and the location factor (highway band or interior).
  5. Note the unit printed in the column heading before you multiply.
  6. For a second check, open jamabandi.nic.in, the Revenue Department's HALRIS portal. Its home menu has a Property Registration section and a stamp duty calculator; the collector rate figures used there should match the district PDF. We could not open the calculator page while writing, so read its labels when you use it.
  7. If the district website is down or the PDF is unreadable, ask the sub-registrar office for the current rate for the village in writing. Our state-level walkthrough is at circle rate lookup in Haryana.

Draft versus final list

Haryana districts publish draft rates for objections before the final list. A draft and a final PDF can sit on the same page for a few weeks. Use the one marked final or carrying the effective date, and keep a copy with your deed papers.

How to read a village or sector row

A Haryana collector rate row generally carries: the tehsil; the revenue village or the sector or colony name; the land class; a location band if any (for example land on a national highway, on a state highway or in the interior); and the rate with its unit. Agricultural rates are usually printed per acre and residential rates per square yard, with commercial rates per square yard or per square metre; read the heading on your list rather than assuming.

For a farmland buyer the key unit facts are fixed: 1 acre = 8 kanal = 160 marla = 4,840 sq yd = 43,560 sq ft = 0.404686 hectare, and 1 kanal = 20 marla = 605 sq yd, 1 marla = 30.25 sq yd. The jamabandi records area in kanal and marla, so convert to acres before multiplying by a per-acre rate; see kanal and marla in Haryana and Punjab and killa and murabba explained. The bigha appears in local speech in this belt but not in the jamabandi, and its size is disputed, so never price in bigha.

Lists also carry notes: rules for plots facing two roads, for land partly inside a highway band, for built-up structures valued at a separate construction rate, and sometimes a reduction for very large agricultural parcels. These notes bind the sub-registrar, so read them.

How agricultural rates differ from residential rates

The agricultural line in a Faridabad list is normally much lower per unit of area than the residential line for the same village, and is printed in a bigger unit (per acre rather than per square yard). That gap is the whole reason buyers must check the land class in the record, not the use the seller describes:

  • Land shown as agricultural in the jamabandi with no change of land use (CLU) is valued at the agricultural rate even if a farmhouse is planned. Read CLU in Haryana before you assume the residential line applies.
  • Land inside a licensed colony, an HSVP sector or a municipal abadi is valued on the residential or commercial line, usually per square yard.
  • Agricultural land touching a highway can carry its own higher agricultural band. Check the khasra position on the Bhu Naksha.
  • Any structure is valued separately at the construction rate in the notes and added to the land value.

The Aravalli-side villages of Faridabad fall under Aravalli and green-belt restrictions, and the Yamuna-side villages carry floodplain limits. Both can keep land on the agricultural line permanently, whatever the brochure says.

The method: turning a rate into a valuation

  1. Take the recorded area from the jamabandi in kanal and marla and convert it to acres (divide kanal by 8, marla by 160) or to square yards (kanal × 605, marla × 30.25), whichever unit the list uses.
  2. Collector-rate value = area × rate for the correct land class and band, plus any multiplier or construction value in the list notes.
  3. Compare with the deed price. The higher figure is the base for stamp duty and registration fee.
  4. Apply Haryana's stamp duty and registration fee to that base. We do not print the rates here; see our Haryana stamp duty calculator page and the HALRIS calculator for current figures and concessions.

Three worked examples (illustrative rates)

The rates below are illustrative placeholders chosen to show the arithmetic. They are not Faridabad's notified collector rates. Replace them with the figure on the official list.

Example 1: four kanal of agricultural land in the interior

4 kanal = 0.5 acre. At an illustrative agricultural rate of ₹1,50,00,000 per acre the collector-rate value is 0.5 × 1,50,00,000 = ₹75,00,000. If the deed price is ₹90,00,000, duty is charged on the price. If the price is ₹60,00,000, duty is charged on ₹75,00,000.

Example 2: one acre on a highway band

8 kanal = 1 acre of agricultural land touching a highway, with the list carrying an illustrative highway-band agricultural rate of ₹2,50,00,000 per acre. Collector-rate value = ₹2,50,00,000. Had the same acre sat 500 metres inside, the interior rate from Example 1 would give ₹1,50,00,000 instead; the band can change the duty base by a large margin, so the khasra position matters.

Example 3: a 500 sq yd residential plot in a sector

500 sq yd at an illustrative residential rate of ₹45,000 per sq yd gives ₹2,25,00,000. A 100 sq yd built structure valued at an illustrative construction rate of ₹1,500 per sq ft (900 sq ft, so ₹13,50,000) is added if the list requires it: total ₹2,38,50,000.

Faridabad compared with neighbouring districts

All Haryana districts fix collector rates through the same DC-led process and publish them on their own district websites, with HALRIS as the registration backbone. The differences a buyer notices are in tehsil structure, the highway bands the list uses and whether agricultural land is split by irrigation class.

How to use this with your document

  • Pull the jamabandi nakal and the fard and copy the village, tehsil, khewat and khasra numbers, area in kanal-marla and the land class exactly.
  • Open the current Faridabad collector rate PDF, find the tehsil and village row, and note the unit, band and effective date.
  • Convert the area to the list unit and compute the collector-rate value with the method above.
  • Write the higher of price and list value into your budget as the duty base, then estimate duty and fee on our Haryana stamp duty page.
  • Check the deed draft against the record: area, unit, khasra numbers and consideration must agree. See the land registration process.
  • Confirm the row with the sub-registrar office in writing before you fix the price. Also check agricultural land rules in Haryana for any limit on who can buy.

What is unconfirmed

We could not open the Faridabad collector rate PDFs or the HALRIS stamp duty calculator page while writing (the sites block automated readers), so this page prints no Faridabad rate, no effective date for the current list and no tehsil-by-tehsil office list. The description of the approval process and the 2024 and 2025 effective dates come from press reports, not from a government order we read. The units described as typical (per acre for agricultural land, per square yard for plots) are what Haryana lists have generally used; confirm them on your list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the collector rate the same as the circle rate in Faridabad?
Yes. Haryana uses the term collector rate for what other states call the circle rate or guideline value. It is the minimum value for stamp duty purposes.
Who fixes the collector rate for Faridabad?
The district administration under the Deputy Commissioner prepares and publishes it, with drafts put out for objections and state-level clearance reported in recent years. Read the signature block on the current list.
Where is the official list?
On the Faridabad district website under its collector rate documents, and reflected in the HALRIS registration system at jamabandi.nic.in. Ask the sub-registrar office if you cannot open either.
Is the agricultural rate per acre?
Haryana lists have generally printed agricultural rates per acre and plot rates per square yard, but read the column heading on your list.
How do I convert kanal and marla to acres?
8 kanal = 1 acre and 20 marla = 1 kanal, so 160 marla = 1 acre. One kanal is 605 sq yd and one marla 30.25 sq yd.
What if the deed price is lower than the collector-rate value?
Duty and fee are charged on the collector-rate value, and the income-tax rules in Section 50C and 56(2)(x) may apply to seller and buyer.
When do the rates change?
Press reports described new rates taking effect on 1 December 2024 and again from August 2025. We could not confirm a fixed annual date; check the effective date on the list.
Does a highway frontage change the rate?
Often yes. Lists carry a higher band for land on or near a national or state highway. Whether your khasra falls in the band is a map question.
Is the collector rate the market price?
No. It is a registration floor. Market prices for farmland near Delhi often sit well above the collector rate; read our circle rate vs market rate guide.
Is Faridabad land near the Jewar airport valued differently?
The collector rate follows the Faridabad list for the village, not the airport. Any premium the market pays for proximity shows up in the deed price, which then becomes the duty base if it exceeds the list value.
