Gurgaon Circle Rates 2026-27: What Changed, What You Pay and How to Check
Gurugram’s revised collector rates, better known as circle rates, took effect on 1 April 2026. The Deputy Commissioner’s office said the average increase was 15–30% for residential, agricultural and commercial land, that 51% of the district area saw no change, and that about 11% of areas rose by up to 75%. A circle rate is the minimum value used for registering a property. Stamp duty in Gurugram’s urban areas is charged at 7% for men, 5% for women and 6% for joint male–female buyers, on whichever is higher: your agreement value or the circle-rate value. For most flats on Dwarka Expressway the circle value sits well below market prices, so duty follows the agreement. In some luxury towers it can go the other way. This guide explains what changed, shows the sums and tells you how to check your sector’s rate.
What a circle rate is, and what it is not
Collector rates, also called circle rates, are the minimum property values notified by the government for registering land and property transactions. They are not market prices, and they don’t tell you what to pay the seller. They set a floor for the value on which duty is charged. Market prices come from buyers and sellers and often sit above the circle rate in newer sectors. Our guide to property rates in Gurgaon covers asking prices and why portals disagree. MSN
What changed on 1 April 2026
The Deputy Commissioner’s announcement set out the main points. The revised rates came into effect on 1 April 2026, with an average increase of 15% to 30% for residential, agricultural and commercial land, no change in 51% of the district area, and increases of up to 75% in around 11% of areas where development has been rapid and market values are higher. The administration said the revision was based on the previous year’s registry data, prevailing market trends and infrastructure development.
Coverage of the revision singles out high-growth corridors such as Dwarka Expressway and Southern Peripheral Road as the places where the larger increases landed. That fits the pattern in our guide to the best sectors to buy property in Gurgaon: the biggest rate changes follow where registrations and infrastructure are concentrated. realtyhunting
Rates you will meet in the schedule
The official schedule is long and is organised by tehsil, category and locality. For buyers of flats, three lines matter most. These figures come from summaries of the 2026-27 schedule, so check them against the official version.
Category | Rate per sq ft |
|---|---|
Group housing flats, Sectors 1–43 | ₹11,550 |
Independent floors in HUDA and licensed colonies | ₹9,700 |
Flats in group housing in licensed-colony plots, Sectors 104–115 | ₹7,700 |
Group housing in Sectors 1–43 carries a notified value of ₹11,550 per sq ft, and independent floors in HUDA and licensed colonies ₹9,700. Flats in group housing societies on licensed-colony plots in Sectors 104 to 115 are listed at ₹7,700. Plots have separate rates by sector and colony, and the schedule gives them in different units, so read the column headings carefully. Commercial property has its own, generally higher, schedule.

Stamp duty and registration: how the sum works
The rule is simple. Stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the declared agreement value and the circle-rate value. The rate depends on who buys. godrejcapital
Buyer (urban Gurugram) | Stamp duty |
|---|---|
Male | 7% |
Female | 5% |
Joint, male and female | 6% |
Several 2026 guides agree on these urban rates. Haryana takes two percentage points off the duty for women, and the registration fee is the same for everyone. Other joint combinations may be treated differently, so confirm at registration. squareyards
The registration fee is where sources disagree. Most put it at about 1% of the same base, but they differ on the cap. One guide says it follows a slab capped at ₹50,000, another gives a maximum of ₹15,000, and a third mentions a minimum of ₹1,000. Ask the sub-registrar or your lawyer for the current figure, and don’t budget from a blog. Stamp Duty and Registration Charges in Gurgaon 2026 +2
Three worked examples
These are arithmetic only, using the duty rates above.
Agreement value above circle value. You agree to pay ₹1 crore, and the circle value is ₹95 lakh. Duty is charged on ₹1 crore: ₹7 lakh at 7%, or ₹5 lakh at 5%.
Circle value above agreement value. You agree to pay ₹1 crore, but the circle value is ₹1.6 crore. Duty is charged on ₹1.6 crore: ₹11.2 lakh at 7%. This is how a luxury tower can cost more to register than its price suggests.
A new-sector flat. A 1,500 sq ft flat in Sectors 104–115 at ₹7,700 per sq ft has a circle value of about ₹1.155 crore. If the agreed price is around ₹16,000 per sq ft, as in our rates guide’s Sector 106 figure, the agreement is ₹2.4 crore and duty at 7% is ₹16.8 lakh. Check which area basis (carpet, built-up or super) the schedule applies, because it changes the circle value.
How to check the rate for your sector
Find the official schedule. The Deputy Commissioner’s office says citizens can check detailed collector rates for their areas on gurugram.gov.in. Guides also point to Haryana’s land records portal.
Work out the tehsil. The schedule is published tehsil by tehsil. Some newer sectors may sit in a different tehsil from older ones, so ask the sub-registrar if you’re unsure.
Match your property type. Plot, group-housing flat, independent floor and commercial each have their own line.
Compare with your agreement value. Duty applies to the higher of the two.
Confirm the final figure with the sub-registrar before you plan your cash for registration.
Rates also get revised more than once in some years. Check the current notification, not a screenshot from months ago.
What higher circle rates mean for buyers and sellers
Buyers. Registration costs rise where the circle value moves above your price. Include duty and fees in your budget alongside GST, maintenance deposits and loan costs. See our guide to property taxes in Haryana, and ask a home loan advisor how fees affect your borrowing.
Sellers. The circle value can matter for capital gains tax calculations. Ask a chartered accountant how it applies to your sale.
Everyone. Declare the real agreed price. Understating it creates legal and tax problems, and it can’t take the duty base below the circle value anyway.
A rise in circle rates reflects where registrations have occurred and where infrastructure has arrived. It isn’t a price forecast, and it doesn’t mean market prices will follow. One 2026 explainer frames the issue as the gap between circle rates and market rates after the April 2026 revisions. Read both together. toihomes
If you’re registering a Gurgaon property soon, a lawyer can confirm the schedule and fees. Our RERA guide covers the project checks that come before registration, and the real estate in Gurgaon overview puts these costs in the wider market.
Conclusion
Circle rates set the floor for your registration cost, and in 2026 that floor moved for much of Gurugram. Look up the exact rate for your sector and category, compare it with your agreement value and do the duty sum before you commit. When you’re ready, browse residential properties or talk to an advisor.
