Property registrations to become costlier in Panipat after rate hike

With collector rates in Panipat district set to rise by 10 to 50 per cent, the registration of property sale deeds is expected to become more expensive from August 1, in line with the state government’s latest directive.

The revised rates represent a significant increase, with the minimum hike fixed at 10 per cent and the maximum at 50 per cent. The last increase had been made in January this year, after a gap in 2024 owing to the election year.

Sources in the Revenue Department said the new collector rates have been determined based on the number of plot registrations. Areas with high registration volumes have seen sharper hikes, whereas outer colonies in the city have experienced a nominal 10 per cent increase.

An official from the Revenue Department, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the collector rate has risen by around 50 per cent in several village areas—such as Chandoli, Ajijulapur and Kabri—where real estate activity has surged with the development of residential societies. In most other areas, the hike is limited to approximately 10 per cent.

“In Israna, Bapoli, Madlauda and Samalkha, the collector rates have increased by 10 per cent in nearly 95 per cent of the area,” the official added.

The official further explained that the revision was carried out automatically by the central portal system based on registration trends, with ongoing analysis to finalise area-wise details.

Deputy Commissioner Dr Virender Kumar Dahiya said, “On average, the hike in collector rates will be between 20 to 25 per cent in the district.” He added that after completing the analysis, the revised rates would be uploaded on the portal by Thursday and implemented from Friday.
