The minimum value at which a property can be registered is its guidance value. In other words, it is the Ready Reckoner value of the property. The Department of Stamps and Registration of every state publishes the guidance value of the property, and this varies from locality to locality. It also differs from one building to another. While the guidance value is among the largest source of revenue for the state, any increase or any decrease in value can have a direct impact on the cost of the property. The stamps and registration department revises the value from time to time and much study goes into keeping the rates as close as possible to the market value of properties so as to avoid any instances of black money and cash transactions which can affect the revenue.
Are guidance and guideline values the same?
The terms guidance value or guideline value are used interchangeably and refer to the same value. Different states may use one or the other. People may usually search for one or the other term, depending on which state they belong to. Other names by which people usually identify guidance value, include ‘Ready Reckoner rate’ or RR rate, which is widely used in states like Maharashtra and ‘Circle Rate’, which is a term often used in Delhi, Noida, etc
Basic facts about guidance value
- Guidance value or guideline value is like a fixed price of the property. It cannot go below this value.
- If you buy a property below the guidance value, you will still need to register it at the guidance value.
- If the sale of the property has happened at a higher value than the guidance value, registration takes place as per the higher value.
- Different states use different terms for guidance value such as Ready Reckoner rates or circle rate.
- A well-developed and established locality may have a higher guidance value. The same value will be lower in areas that are early-on in the development cycle. Similarly, agricultural land will have
- Guidance or guideline value is applicable on apartments as well as plotted developments.
- Note that guidance value is just a benchmark. A home buyer cannot persuade the property seller to sell at the guidance value.
Now that you are familiar with the term, let us see how such values are calculated. Let’s take the example of Bengaluru.
How to calculate guidance value of property in Bengaluru?
Step 1: Visit the Kaveri website at kaverionline.karnataka.gov.in
Step 2: Opt for basic or advanced search.
Step 3: Type in details of district, area name, property usage type, property type, total area and measurement. Other fields will be auto-populated and you will be shown a valuation of the building rate.
Step 4: Other details that you may want to enter are about the construction type, annexure rules, parking type etc. This will throw up a total valuation of the property.
If you are opting for an ‘advanced search’, you will have to enter extra information pertaining to the registration district and the SRO Office.
Explainer: How does guidance value work?
Jairaj Reddy decides to buy a property with a market value of Rs 6,500 per sq ft. The guidance value in that area is Rs 5,000 per sq ft. Home buyers can register the property at a rate between Rs 5,000-6,500 per sq ft.
Now, suppose it was the other way around. That is, if the property was at the selling price of Rs 5,000 per sq ft but the guidance value was Rs 6,500 per sq ft, Reddy would still have to register it at Rs 6,500 per sq ft, because it is the minimum value.
Latest developments in Bengaluru on guidance value
No hike in guidance value in 2020
In 2019, the Karnataka government had hiked guidance value in the range of 5-25 per cent. This year the authorities have confirmed that there will be no further hike till 2021. Usually the new guideline values come into force from January 1 every year, but going by the derailed momentum in the sector, the authorities have decided not to put added pressure on home buyers. The authorities also claim that their revenue has significantly increased encouraging them to take such a friendly decision.
Property prices, tax hike and guidance value
With the Karnataka state government proposing to hike the property tax across corporations, property prices may increase. The cabinet approved a proposal to amend the Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act, 1976, to tweak property taxes.
Currently, residential and non-commercial buildings are taxed between 0.3% and 1% of the guidance value. The amendment may change it to 0.5% and 1.5%. So far, 50% of the guidance value of the property is considered as capital value for tax calculation and it will be changed to 25% of the guidance value. Vacant sites over 1,000 sq ft may also be brought into this fold.
Undervaluation of property causes loss of over Rs 400 crores
Both, home owners and real estate developers, have been undervaluing the property. However, this always has a negative effect. In Bengaluru, such undervaluation and discrepancies have cost the state a loss of lakhs of crores. Underestimation of properties was seen in 13,533 sites and the total underestimation was of about Rs 3,167 crore from which a revenue of Rs 190 crore was expected.
How does lower guidance value benefit?
Both, home buyers and sellers, can benefit if guidance or guideline value is lower. Buyers can benefit because it means relatively cheaper property and less stamp duty and registration charges. For a seller this means lower capital gains tax.
Guidance value of park-facing properties
The revised guidelines in 2019 enabled an additional 10% rise in Guidance Value for properties facing parks.
Guidance value of road-facing properties
Guidance Value of properties facing roads have increased by 25% as compared to values in 2017. There will be no further hike in 2020.
Guidance value of higher-floors, amenities, developed locales
Guidance value is higher for properties starting from the sixth floor. Similarly, amenities that a project provides are also classified by the state. If you are provided with over five categories of lifestyle amenities (swimming pool, sports courts etc) you will be paying a higher value.
Luxury locales also have a higher guidance value.
