Collector Rates in Mohali Revised Upwards by 20–32% for FY 2025–26
The Voice of Chandigarh
The District Administration, SAS Nagar (Mohali), has approved a revision in collector rates (circle rates) for the financial year 2025–26, introducing a 20% to 32% increase for residential properties across various sectors and urban pockets. The revised rates will come into effect from October 23, 2025.
The revision aims to align the official land valuation benchmarks with prevailing market rates, enhance transparency in property transactions, and augment government revenue through more realistic assessments of stamp duty and registration fees.
Scope of Revision
-
Residential Properties: Collector rates have been raised by 20–32%, depending on sector classification and locality.
-
Municipal Villages: In areas under the Mohali Municipal Corporation, rates have been increased in the range of 5–33%, in line with development patterns and infrastructure availability.
-
Industrial Properties: A 30% hike has been implemented to reflect the growing demand and rising market values in designated industrial zones.
-
Commercial Properties: No change has been made to the collector rates for commercial properties this year.
Key Rationale
According to Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal, the revision was carried out after extensive consultations with stakeholders including real estate developers, revenue officials, and resident representatives.
“The revised rates are intended to bring parity between official valuations and actual market transactions. This will reduce undervaluation, improve transparency, and ensure fair revenue realization for the government,”
said the Deputy Commissioner.
The administration also stated that the new rates were rationalized locality-wise to avoid arbitrary escalation and ensure fairness across sectors.
Impact on Property Transactions
The revised collector rates will serve as the minimum benchmark for the registration of property sales, purchases, and transfers. Consequently, the stamp duty and registration charges will now be calculated on the higher of the transaction value or the new collector rate.
The administration noted that this adjustment may slightly increase costs for homebuyers in premium sectors but will promote long-term market stability and accurate valuation of real estate assets.
