Overview

• The state has approved hikes ranging from 10% to 50% on collector rates across urban and rural areas, with spikes up to 145% on agricultural land in Gurugram’s Bajghera and Sarhaul villages.
• Officials closed a public feedback window on July 31 after publishing draft rates late in the month under the Revenue and Disaster Management Department.
• The government projects an additional ₹2,000 crore in revenue from increased stamp duties and registration fees linked to the updated valuations.
• Developers and real estate experts warn that higher registration costs will further slow property transactions in an already sluggish market.
• Congress leaders led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda have demanded withdrawal of the hike, arguing it will overburden the middle class and inflate land prices.
