Gujarat releases Draft Annual Statement of Rates (Jantri) for 2024; public input invited
T
he Gujarat government has released the Draft Annual Statement of Rates (Jantri) for 2024, along with accompanying guidelines, for public review. Citizens can access the draft online at [https://garvi.gujarat.gov.in](https://garvi.gujarat.gov.in) or visit the office of the relevant Deputy Collector (Stamp Duty). Suggestions and objections can be submitted through the portal by 20 December 2024.
The updated Jantri, effective from 15 April 2023, reflects Gujarat's industrial, urban, and rural growth and aims to determine accurate market prices for land and immovable properties under Section 32(a) of the Gujarat Stamps Act, 1958. Responding to concerns from farmers and organisations advocating for revised compensation and land rates, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel directed the rationalisation of land prices using a scientific approach.
A detailed field survey conducted between April and November 2023 covered 23,846 value zones in urban areas and 17,131 villages in rural areas, capturing data on land valuation factors and development potential. The collected data underwent verification and analysis at taluka and district levels, resulting in a draft that reflects the revised rates for urban and rural areas across Gujarat.
Public input will be reviewed by committees led by district collectors, and their recommendations will be forwarded to the state government for approval. The finalised rates will be implemented after the state government's nod.
