If you want to sell or purchase a property or a parcel of land in Bangalore and are not aware about the guidance value of the land in Bangalore then you must read this piece of article as it will help you in understanding it in a more detailed manner. So, let’s quickly jump to it.
Introduction to Guidance Value
Guidance value is also known as the circle rate or the ready reckoned rate in Bangalore. These are the minimum values of the property set/decided by the state government. There rates are calculated both on the parcels of land as well as for built up buildings and in the case of parcels of land the guidance value is calculated on the available land area but any of the built property is excluded from this.
What are the factors that affect the guidance value?
The factors that affect the guidance value are as follows:
- Location
The first factor that impacts the guidance value is the location of the property, the locations which have a good connectivity, infrastructure, have a higher guidance value.
- Property type
The second most important factor that determines the guidance value is the type of property as to whether the property is residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, etc.
- Development of the infrastructure
If the infrastructure of the property is properly developed and the property enjoys good connectivity then the property enjoys a higher guidance value
- Amenities
If the property enjoys with good amenities then its guidance value will be on a higher end.
- Regulatory factors
A property which is prone to more stringent regulatory factors and land use policies has to go through a higher guidance value.
- Supply and demand of the property
As the location of the property is dependent upon the demand and supply of the area if there is a high demand of the properties then its guidance value will be more.
Importance of the Guidance Value
- Determine the property value
With the help of the guidance value as it is set by the state government the value of the property can be determined.
- Generating revenue
Stamp duty is a kind of duty payable upon the property to the government, this stamp duty is based upon the guidance value thereby generating the revenue for the government.
- Gives real-time idea of the prices of the property
Guidance value of the property gives the real time idea of the prices of the property. These rates helps in deferring whether the property is worth the estimate or not.
What is the impact of the guidance value on the purchase of the property?
As per section 56(2) (vii) (b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 the value of the property which is also known as the purchase consideration is less than the calculated stamp duty value in such a case the difference between the stamp duty and the purchase consideration will be treated as income from other sources at the time of the calculation of the income tax.
In the all where the property is sold at a higher rate and the BBMP guidance value is lower then the registration will be as per the higher value.in simpler words, A-well-established and developed infrastructure has a higher guidance value and the guidance value will be lower in a lower-developed area.it is that the property can be sold anywhere between the guidance value and the market value but if the property is being sold below the guidance value then this kind of situation will be an alarming factor as it might be a possibility that the developer is of the mind of saving the taxes.

- The guidance value for Agricultural properties increased up to 50%
- The guidance value for sites increased up to30%
- The guidance value for Apartments was increased up to 5-20 %
Calculating Guidance Value in Bangalore
Guidance value is the minimum amount of the property set by the government below which the properties can not be sold. And this guidance value is calculated by performing various evaluations and surveys. For calculating the guidance value in Bangalore the below-mentioned steps are to be taken into consideration.
- Visiting the Kaveri Portal
The first step in the process of calculating the guidance value is visiting the Kaveri portal.
- Opting for a better search
Either choose from basic or advanced search options to obtain the guidance value.
- Entering property details
The next step in the process is to enter the details of the property such as the details of the district, name of the area, usage type, type of the property, total area of the land and measurements, etC to calculate the guidance value.
- Other property details
The other details of the property are required to be entered into such as the construction type, Annexure rules, parking type, etc.
- Advanced search
In the case of the advanced search then the additional information related to the registration district and SRO office are required to be entered into.
Checking the revised Guidance Value
The revised guidance value of the area can be checked at https://igr.karnataka.gov.in/page/revised+guidelines+value/en On this link, you will find Hubli / area/village local body/authority, competent authority, local body- accommodation rate per square at Rs, the rate of apartments, flats, constructed in housing that are approved by the competent authority based on per square super build-up area at Rs. Out of these click on the view corresponding to the district SRO and then view the revised guidelines value.
Difference between the Guidance Value and the Market Value
Guidance value is the minimum value of the property set by the government and these rates cannot be revised more than once a year. On the other hand, market rates cannot be fixed and keeps on fluctuating based on the demand and supply of the property.
The stamp duty on the property is calculated on the guidance value of the property and not on the market value.
Calculation of the BBMP Property Tax
On 25th March 2024, the state government of Karnataka made a clarification that the property tax will continue to be charged on the computation method and there will not be any increase in the property taxes in Bangalore in the year 2024-25.
- The proposed property tax rates were:
- Rented Residential properties: 0.2% of the guidance value for the properties on rent.
- Self-occupied residential properties: 0. 1%. Of the guidance value for the properties.
- Vacant land: 0.025% of the guidance value
- Commercial property: 0.5% of the guidance value
For the properties which are under the BBMP jurisdiction, taxes will be calculated on the five zonal divisions from A – E. While the property taxes in the rest of Bangalore will be calculated and based upon the basis of the Kaveri guidance value. This is the reason of some areas paying heavy taxes while same are paying less instead of having the same build-up area.
Applying for a refund of the stamp duty in Bangalore
Though every state has a different system for applying for the refund of the stamp duty a buyer can avail the refund of the stamp duty by 98% but this application is only required to be submitted by the buyer. The buyer is required to present the application for the refund of the stamp duty with the following documents:
- Original copy of the sale document.
- Original cancellation deed of the property that was previously being purchased.

Latest News about the Guidance Value
With the view to curb the black money transactions the Karnataka government has decided to work towards making/adjusting the guidance value in line with the market rates and this is the reason why the Karnataka government has urged the BBMP to use the new guidance value method for calculating the property taxes instead of the area value method.
For the rest of Karnataka, the Kaveri guidance value is the minimum standard below which a property cannot be sold. However, there is no maximum limit set for selling the property. The value of the properties are directly proportional to the Kaveri guidance value therefore the IGR Karnataka stamps & registration department revises the guidance value from time to time. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to check the Kaveri guidance value before buying or selling the property.
Calculation of the Guidance Value based on the Age of the Property
The age of the property is one of the important factors for determining the guidance value:
Using the multiplying factor approach the guidance value for the properties can be determined by using the below-mentioned formula:
Guidance value = base rate + (factor * area adjustment) + (factor * zone adjustment):
Where:
- The base rate is set up by the government.
- The factor is a multiplier which is determined by different factors.
- Area adjustment is the adjustment factor that is based on the area or size of the property.
- Zone adjustment is the factor that is based upon a specific zone or locality.
- Determining the EC and CC fees in Bangalore.
- Encumbrance certificate fees.
- A general search for the first year: Rs 35.
- For every other year: Rs 10.
- Certified copy fees.
- Single search fees: Rs 25.
- Copying fee for every 100 words: Rs 5.
- For computer registered docs for every page: Rs 10.
Registration Charges and Stamp Duty
- Stamp duty stands for 3- 5% of the market value of the property while the registration charges account for 1-3%of the value of the property.
- If the value of the property is between Rs 21 -25 lakhs the stamp duty is 3% of the value of the property and If the value of the property is 45 lakhs the stamp duty is 5% of value of the property.
- Stamp duty in rural areas is 5.65 % and in urban areas is 5.6%.

What are the recent changes in Bangalore’s guidance value?
The effective date of the revision
The Karnataka government recently made a big change on 1st October 2023 to bring the guidance value in line with the market reality thereby improving the generation of revenue through real estate and with this amendment there is an average increase of 25-30% in the value of the property.

The suburban areas of Bangalore have witnessed a steep increase in the guidance value. The areas such as Yelahanka, Electronic City, and KR Puram have witnessed a rise in the prices of the property ranging from 20% to 50%.

- Hesaraghatta: This area is also considered as a budget-friendly option with a guidance value of Rs 8,500 per square foot.
- Begur: this area is situated in south Bangalore providing affordable options for the buyer.
Procedure of appealing against the guidance value

This application can be filed by visits by visiting the office of the sub-registrar and the application is required to be submitted along with the proper documentation that supports the claim and it may range from recent sale deeds or a property valuation report.
Online appeal procedure
Apart from submitting the online applicant the aggrieved party may move to file an online appeal through the Kaveri portal. The process of filing the application is to log in to the portal and then click on the guidance value option and then provide the necessary documents eg. The location of the property, and any other supporting documents.
