Haryana property: If you are thinking of buying a property in Haryana, then wait a little or take a decision quickly. From 1 August 2025, the registry of land in the state will become expensive. The Haryana government has announced to increase the collector rate ie circle rate in the entire state. After the approval of Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini, these new rates will now be implemented, in which 5% to 25% has been increased.
It will have the most impact in areas adjacent to Delhi like Gurugram, Faridabad, Ballabhgarh, where property prices are already high. Increased collector rate means, now registry fees and stamp duty will have to be paid, which will increase the cost of buying a house or plot.
The Haryana government has approved to increase the collector rate ie circle rate across the state. Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini has signed this proposal and now new rates will be implemented from 1 August 2025. According to the notification issued by the government, the rate has been increased from 5% to 25%, which will be based on the market status of different districts and areas.
It will have a direct impact in cities like Gurugram, Faridabad and Ballabhgarh adjacent to Delhi. Real estate prices are already high here, and now due to increase in collector rate, registry fees will have to be paid more. This will affect the pockets of home buyers and investors. After the Chief Minister’s approval, the new registration appointments have now been stopped at the moment. Only those people who had booked an appointment on old dates will be able to register at the old rates. The rest will have to register according to the new rates.
What is a circle rate?
The collector rate or circle rate is the minimum price of property registration in an area. The government fixes stamp duty and registration fees on this basis. However, the market value may be higher or lower than this, but the registry collector cannot be at a price lower than the rate.
The increase was postponed twice due to elections
Every year on 1 April, collector rates revise, but in 2024 it was revised in December 2024. After this, the increase of April 2025 was also postponed, which is now being implemented. Haryana Finance Commissioner Sumita Mishra had already indicated this change. The government had also sought suggestions and objections from the public, after which the final notification was issued on 30 July.
