[Get Started](https://app.proquiro.com/users/sign%5Fup) ### What is Guideline Value? Guideline value (also called circle rate, jantri value, or ready reckoner rate) is the minimum property value set by the state government for a specific area. It is updated periodically and used as the base for calculating stamp duty and registration fees. The actual market rate is almost always higher than the guideline value, and the gap between them — the market premium — is critical to understand before any transaction. ### How to use this checker Enter the government guideline rate per sq ft, the current market rate per sq ft, the total plot area, and the unit. The tool instantly shows you the total guideline value, total market value, and the market premium percentage. This helps you understand how much of the transaction value exceeds the government floor. ### Why guideline value matters Stamp duty is calculated on the guideline value or the declared transaction value, whichever is higher. If you declare a price significantly below the guideline value, the registration office will use the guideline value for stamp duty anyway. Conversely, understanding the market premium helps you gauge whether the asking price is reasonable compared to the government benchmark. In many Indian markets, premiums of 40–80% over guideline value are common. ### Looking up the official rate in Tamil Nadu This is a generic circle-rate-vs-market calculator for any state. For the exact government rate in Tamil Nadu, use the [Tamil Nadu Guideline Value Lookup](/tools/tamil-nadu-guideline-value) — it lists the official per-street, per-village guideline-value benchmark sourced from TNREGINET. Then use the [Tamil Nadu Stamp Duty Calculator](/tools/stamp-duty-calculator) to estimate the standard Conveyance (Sale) charge: 9% total — 5% stamp duty + 2% transfer duty + 2% registration fee — on the applicable market value under TNREGINET's valuation rules. TNREGINET currently groups the first two components as 7% under “Stamp Duty.” That same guideline value also drives OSR fee-in-lieu on larger layout approvals, so use the [OSR Calculator](/tools/osr-calculator-india) to see whether the planning authority will take land or cash. Guideline value also sets the premium FSI charge, so use the [FSI / FAR Calculator](/tools/fsi-calculator-india) to price extra buildable area on the same plot.
