Buying a home in Rajkot: stamp duty, loan, prices

Calculate for Rajkot

Buying: no stamp duty is computed for Gujarat; the home loan calculator works everywhere.

Rajkot against the rest of India

Neither the NHB press release nor the list of the RBI's 18 cities carries Rajkot, so Payotte has no price movement to report for it, and gives none rather than borrowing another city's.

Where Payotte reads the rates, the duty on a ₹50 lakh home runs from ₹2,50,000 in Uttarakhand (5% of the price) to ₹5,00,000 in Puducherry (10%): seven states and union territories out of 36, which leaves Gujarat off that scale.

Rajkot lies at 22.3°N, 70.8°E. The nearest of the other 43 cities is Ahmedabad, 200 km to the north-east, then Surat (245 km, south-east) and Vadodara (250 km, east), as the crow flies. No other city on Payotte lies within 150 km. The farthest is Guwahati, 2,165 km away. The closest city with a RESIDEX figure is Ahmedabad, 200 km away, at +7.9%: a neighbour's number, not Rajkot's own.

Gujarat has three other cities on Payotte: Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara. Ahmedabad is the only one with a RESIDEX figure.

Where to check in Gujarat

The official sites to use before buying in Rajkot, Gujarat: the register of projects and agents, the portal that registers the sale deed, the land records and the municipal body that levies property tax. Each link goes to a government site.
