What is the circle rate in Bangalore?
Circle rate or guidance value is the minimum limit set by the government for real estate transactions and property registration. In Bangalore, the Department of Stamps & Registration notifies these rates. They were revised on 1st January 2019. The revision saw a significant overhaul, with agricultural land in different localities of the city witnessing an increase of 5% to 25%.
