Usually the government revises the guidance value in November. But this time the State government has decided not to increase the guidance value of properties in Bengaluru and the rest of Karnataka till the state Budget session.
Hey Guys!!! I heard that the government had issued a set of preliminary notifications, proposing a hike in guidance value in Gandhinagar, Jayanagar, Basavanagudi , Rajajinagar, Shivajinagar, Bengaluru Rural and Ramanagara registration areas. The increase in guidance value will be in between 10 % to 200% in some cases.
Hi All, It seems, the state government has decided to increase guidance value for properties by 10% to 30% to take care of revenue in the next fiscal and fix the huge shortage of revenue collection from the stamps and registration department. The state revenue department proposed an increase in guidance value of properties from April 1.
I have read that the property prices are expected to go up by an average of around 10% under the new guidance value. But, CREDAI has expressed dissatisfaction over the hike in guidance value in the city from April 1, 2016.
Hello Peeps!!! Updated news for you guys, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, given his nod to an increase in the guidance value of properties. The real estate properties in and around Karnataka will cost more from April 1. :( :(
Some more examples are UB Towers on Vittal Mallya road being the costliest property of the city at Rs 20,446 rate per sqft as per government records, the land prices on the road is approximately Rs 14,000/sqft and Rs 15,000/sqft on Lavelle Road.
The selling price is not more than 12,000/sqft in this locality where as Prestige Ozone is priced around Rs 15,000/sqft. Similarly, a luxurious villa project is being sold for around Rs 6,000/sqft, while the guidance value is Rs 10,000/sqft.
Prestige Kingfisher Towers on Kasturbha Cross road, Van Gogh's Gardens, on the same lane and 909 Lavelle on Residency Road are some of the properties the registration department undervalued.
The residential units at Prestige Kingfisher Towers were booked for more than Rs 25,000 per sqft. But when the registration department did a valuation of the property, in the final stages of construction, has pegged the price of the property at Rs 12,000-12,211/sqft, which is way below the market price.
In such cases where the property has been purchased at a lower rate than the guidance value, a buyer has to register the property at the government-fixed rate. :(
@Diwakar, In 2013 the guidance value in Begur road was Rs 2000 which increased to rs 2600 in 2014. Begur is a prominent locality for investment in Bangalore, especially now that demand is increasing. However, supply of residential apartments is usually greater than the demand for it and that is why prices are cheaper here. The dominant property type is in the form of apartments, which constitute 60% of the total land property.
Hi All,I read some where that the government has decided to revise its guidance value across the state this October. According to new rule, yearly revision of guidance values is necessary.
Yeah I agree with you @ Diwakar... But the yearly revision started from 2012 to bring the value up to at least 70% of the market value. Last time the values were revised in November 2014.
Guidance value depends on the usage of land such as residential, commercial and industrial. Besides this, the properties situated adjacent to National and State Highways shall carry higher guidance value.
Many property buyers have booked apartments or flat outskirt Bangalore when the guidance value in those areas were around Rs 500-Rs 1500 per sqft till 2012. But now the guidance values for apartments in these areas are anywhere between Rs 1500 and Rs 5,000 per sqft. I feel the hike in guidance value is going to hit the flat buyers.
The guidance Value in KR Puram in 2014 was Rs 1,750-3,000, the guidance Value in Whitefield in 2014 was 2,800-7,200 and the guidance Value in JP Nagar i n 2014 was 1,400-9,350
As per my knowledge, the current guidance value for apartments (with mosaic/ceramic flooring) in Kudlu, near Electronics City, is Rs 2,100 per sqft compared to Rs 1,800 a few days ago. :( :(
In Sarjapura (Anekal taluk), the guidance value in some places was Rs 880 sqft. The market value of flats here is on the higher side so the guidance value has gone beyond Rs 1,000 mark in most areas of Sarjapura.
The Government of Karnataka announced a proposed revision to the guidance value of properties in Bangalore for the fiscal year 2014-15 on 15th October this year. As per the proposed revision, property prices in the city have gone up by about 15-25 per cent in various localities compared to those of last year (2013-14).
The government has already raised the guidance value in Bangalore. Not just owner even developers also seem to be facing the heat.
While the government claims that the increase in guidance value will lead to a reduction of black market transactions and an increase in the revenue, builders and buyers have cribbed about the increased values, due to the increased charges that will have to be paid for registering a property.
Once it is proposed, the public will be given about 15 days to file any objections before finalizing the new guidance values.
The property can be registered at either the guidance value or market value. However, in case of registration on market value you eventually end up paying higher stamp duty
UB Towers stationed at Vittal Mallya Road have been pegged in the range Rs 20150- Rs 20350 per sq ft, and is considered to be the most high-priced property in the city while the properties on Bangalore outskirts cost around 1% of that.
I read that the new guidance value will also include the registration of villas and houses in gated communities( for the first time), that measures between Rs 500-Rs 1000 per sq ft.
The revised guidance value is expected to mop up an additional revenue of Rs 840 crore for the government in the present year. A new set of rules for guidance value will come into play for the evaluation of gated communities and apartments, as an attempt to shore up the revenue collection process. The revision is designed depending on the construction type, facilities offered and the strategic position of the apartments, gated communities and villas.
In accordance to the new market based guidance value, the land cost has rolled out by 30%-50% in 9 out of 10 parts of the city, while the remaining areas have been affected by a 100% increase in land prices.
Under the new system, villas and duplex houses in the south-eastern parts of the city have a guidance value ranging between Rs 500- Rs 1000 per sq ft. The farmlands on the outskirts of the city under the new policy will be pegged at Rs 7 crore- Rs 9.9 crore acre.
Officials of Registration and Commissioner of Stamps further corroborate that the revision was on thin ice since more than 50% of the revenue for the Department of Stamps and Registration punch in from registration fee (1%) along with surcharge/stamp/Cess fee (6.65-6.75%). Sources also confirm that the department has stacked up around 5265 crore during the tenure 2012-13 and intends to raise the bar by accomplishing a target of rs 6500 crore for the present financial year 2013.
According to potential sellers and real estate developers, hike in guidance value is a matter of great consideration while selling the property. Hike in the guidance value is likely to discourage the sellers to a great extent. To add to it, the big developers and builders are generally at the helm for the hike in market rates, henceforth the small builders suffer huge losses. Hence, with the surge in guidance value, the real estate market of the city may take a dip significantly.
In accordance with the new system, registration of houses and villas in the gated neighborhoods has been included with the guidance value being permanent for the first time. Guidance value for such plots on the eastern part of the city (like K. K. Puram and Mahadevapura) south-eastern parts (like Sarjapur road and Hosur road) and northern parts (comprising of Yelahanka and Bellary road) run of between Rs 500- Rs 1000 per sq ft.
The latest surge in the guidance value for an acre in Kacharakanahalli is glued at 9.9 crore, whereas in certain areas such as Kundalahalli, , Nagawara, Doddanakundi, Hennur and areas adjoining the Outer Ring Road and National Highway the revised value is fixed within the range 6.5-7 crore.
Hike in guidance value will leave its impact on five districts under BBMP limits namely- Rajajinagar, Jayanagar, Basavanagudi, Gandhinagar and Shivajinagar. Around 42 sub-registrar offices are present under these districts. However, beefing up of the guidance value is not consistent and is unaltered in Magadi Road, Kengeri, Sunkadakatte and certain areas of Bangalore West.
The revised guidance value is likely to leave its mark on the realty market and trigger the revenue of the State significantly in the long run. The revise structure will aid the government to generate more revenue via stamp and registration fees from individual property owners. In addition to it, it will jack up the compensation which property owners are entitled.
Government officials further confirm that the revised guidance value is likely to taper the registration value and market rate of the properties. The realty sector in Karnataka has already been racked up with economic slowdown, poor output of the software sector and currency crisis. The revised guidance value will inevitably put more financial stress on the property buyers, thereby creating an adverse effect on the sale of the residential plots.
Ater the new guidance values came into effect, the realty market has slowed down. In an effort to achieve an equilibrium between market value and guidance value.
The Karnataka government has proposed an upward revision of the guidance value of real estate properties to accumulate a sum of 840 crore. The hike will be done by increasing the stamp duty and registration fee charged for listing properties in the city.
The proposed hike is likely to mobilize the resources and aid the government to implement its Rs 1 per kg rice, that would require a sum of Rs 4500 crore. According to government officials, the guidance value has been revised on an average of 30% in 25 districts.
As an attempt to maintain stability in the realty sector of the state, the stamp duty has been reduced to 5% from 6%, by the government. According to market reports, the target for revenue collection by the government has been set at Rs 6100 crore during the year 2013-14, via registration and stamps.
Government officials further confirm that more than 226 crore is expected to garner from the remaining districts, since revenue from registration and stamps is one of the biggest sources of income for the nation.
With the hike in guidance value, sources said that the cost of residential sites has increased by 50%, commercial properties by 60% and industrial properties by 25% in the districts.
Sources said that the target would be achievable with the revision of the guidance value. Some specific areas where guidance value was already higher than the market value could also be rationalised. But such areas are very small in number.
Inspector-General of Registration and Commissioner of Stamps Syed Adoni Saleem told that the department has collected Rs 5,260 crores during 2013-13 and Rs 6,100 crores is the target for this year.
Areas like Residency Road, Brigade Road and MG Road may not see any increase in guidance value of properties where sub- registrars have not witnessed many transactions.
The stamps and registration department said that Hebbal, Yelahanka and neighbouring villages, Arkavathy Layout, Kempegowda Layout, Manyata Tech Park, Whitefield and surrounding villages are going to see a steeper hike on guidance value.
According to high officials from the stamps and registration department, the draft of the revision will be submitted to the government in August. After the cabinet gives a nod, the revised values are likely to be implemented from October 2013.
The stamps and registration department is planning to revise the guidance value of properties which may increase by 75 percent to 80 percent in norther and easter parts of the city.
Guidance Value is the minimum value fixed by Govt. for the property in respective area. The registration cannot be done on a value less than Guidance Value. Guidance Value is defined for two categories - land value (for land only) and composite value (for land and buildings - this includes construction cost and associated taxes for buildings).
