Guideline value, circle rate, fair value, ready reckoner rate or guidance value is the government reference value used for registration and stamp-duty purposes. If it is not showing, the usual reason is wrong street, village, survey number, zone, usage category or portal data update.

What to check first

1. Search using official district, SRO, village, street or survey details.
2. Check alternate spellings and old street/revenue-village names.
3. Confirm property type such as residential, commercial, agricultural or mixed use.
4. Compare the official value with market value, but remember they are not always the same.
5. If value is missing for legal work, contact the SRO or official helpline before payment.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Do not assume market price and guideline value are equal.
• Do not use old value tables without checking revision date.
• Do not change location category just to get a lower value.
