Congress govt plans steep hike in Telangana land registration values

In a move that is likely to impose a significant financial burden on prospective homebuyers, the Congress government in Telangana is gearing up to revise land registration values across the State.

Apart from residential and commercial land value, the government has also prepared proposals to hike the registration value of agricultural lands.

The Stamps and Registrations department took up a comprehensive exercise to reassess market values, citing a widening gap between official rates and prevailing open market



prices. 

District-wise field reports are being compiled, with a sharp focus on high-growth regions surrounding Hyderabad, including Ranga Reddy, Medchal-Malkajgiri, and Sangareddy districts, citing an increase in land prices in recent years.

Officials informed that the proposed revision could range between 10 per cent and 30 per cent, depending on location and land category.

 

Separate benchmarks are being worked out for agricultural lands, residential plots, and apartments, while premium rates are likely along highways and high-demand corridors.
