What are Collector Rates (Circle Rates) in Punjab?
In Punjab, Collector Rates (also commonly called Circle Rates or Government Minimum Valuation) represent the statutory minimum threshold price per square yard (Gaj) or square foot below which a property deed cannot be legally registered at the local Sub-Registrar Tehsil office. These rates are evaluated and notified annually by the District Collector (DC) under the Punjab Stamp Rules.
💡 Key Rule: Stamp duty is always calculated on whichever value is higher: the actual transaction price stated in the agreement to sell OR the government collector rate.
