Jantri Rates In Gujarat 2001 [upd]
In 2001, Jantri rates in Gujarat—the government-notified minimum property values used for stamp duty and registration—were generally based on the 1999 Annual Statement of Rates (ASR).
While there was no statewide "2001 Jantri" revision, the rates active during this period typically followed a flat 50% increase over the 1999 rates, with an additional 5% annual increase applied thereafter. Key Aspects of 2001 Jantri Rates Jantri Rates In Gujarat 2001
Base Year Disparity: The Gujarat government considers April 1, 1999, as the base date for stamp duty valuation. However, the Income Tax Act uses April 1, 2001, as the base date for determining capital gains, leading to a common need for "2001 Jantri" figures for tax compliance. Public and Industry Reaction
Specific Allotment Prices: While general Jantri rates were based on the 1999 ASR, the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) published specific allotment prices effective April 1, 2001. Historical Allotment Prices (as of April 1, 2001) registration charges and for valuation purposes.

These historical rates are frequently used by property owners and tax professionals to calculate the Fair Market Value (FMV) of properties acquired before 2001 to compute long-term capital gains tax.
Because the official 1999 Jantri is the closest state record, professionals often use the 1999 base plus the mandated 5% annual increments to estimate the 2001 value. gujarat.gov.in/">Garvi Gujarat portal? Allotment Price for the year 2001-2002 - GIDC

How to find the 2001 Jantri rates (step-by-step)
- Identify the district, taluka/municipality, village/ward and land type (residential/commercial/industrial).
- Search for the district-specific Jantri Ready Reckoner for the year 2001 (PDF or scanned booklets). Common sources:
- District/municipal websites or archives
- Gujarat Revenue Department / Garvi Gujarat portal archives
- Scanned copies on document sites (Scribd, Google Drive) or municipal libraries
- If online search fails, contact the local sub-registrar or revenue office and request the Jantri (2001) for that jurisdiction.
- In the Jantri table locate the appropriate zone/plot class and read the unit rate (usually per sq. m. or per sq. ft).
- Calculate value = unit rate × area. Apply applicable multipliers/concessions noted in the Jantri for that year.
- For stamp duty/registration historically applicable in 2001, refer to the stamp act rates in force then or ask the sub-registrar (rates differ from Jantri).
