Hyderabad Circle Rate 2026: Area-Wise Market Value Guide
Everything you need to value a property in Hyderabad — area-wise market values, stamp duty, registration charges, how the minimum value is calculated, and how to check the rate for your locality.
Quick Answer
In Hyderabad, the government-notified minimum value used to register a property is called the Market Value (the local term for a circle rate). It is set by the Registration & Stamps Department, Government of Telangana and published through the IGRS Telangana portal. Indicative residential rates range from about ₹6,000 per sq ft in areas like Bachupally to ₹15,000 per sq ft in Banjara Hills. Stamp duty is 4% stamp duty + 1.5% transfer duty + 0.5% registration (≈6% total, no gender difference).
What Is the Market Value in Hyderabad?
The Market Value is the minimum price per unit area at which a property can be registered in Hyderabad. A sale cannot be registered below this value, and stamp duty and registration charges are levied on whichever is higher — the market value value or the actual price agreed between buyer and seller. It is Hyderabad’s equivalent of what other states call the circle rate, collector rate or ready-reckoner rate.
Rates are set by the Registration & Stamps Department, Government of Telangana and notified locality by locality, then published on the IGRS Telangana portal. Because the applicable figure depends entirely on where your property sits, identifying the correct locality (and property type) is the first step for every buyer and seller. Telangana revised property market values in 2024, raising Hyderabad’s registration guideline rates by roughly 20–30% over the previous 2021 slabs (steepest in IT-corridor localities).

Estimate the minimum registered value, stamp duty and registration charges for a Hyderabad property. Pick the locality, enter the built-up / saleable area, and choose the ownership type.
Estimate value, stamp duty & registration
Indicative only — based on the area-wise rates above. Confirm the exact figure on the IGRS Telangana portal or at the Sub-Registrar office.
For land or a plot, enter the plot area. The registered value is the market value value or your actual deal value, whichever is higher.
How the Registered Value Is Calculated in Hyderabad
For most Hyderabad homes the minimum registered value is calculated simply on area and the applicable market value:
Worked example — a home in Gachibowli
A 1,000 sq ft home in Gachibowli (indicative rate ₹10,000 per sq ft):
Minimum value = 1,000 × ₹10,000 = ₹1,00,00,000
Stamp duty (5.5%) = ₹5,50,000 · Registration = ₹50,000
Apartments, plots & floor rise
Apartment values apply the locality rate to the flat’s built-up/saleable area; some states add a floor-rise premium for higher floors and depreciation for older buildings. Land and plots are valued on the plot area. Where the notified rate and your negotiated price differ, duty is always charged on the higher figure — so check both before you sign.
Stamp Duty & Registration Charges in Hyderabad
Once the value is fixed, stamp duty and registration charges are payable in Telangana. Telangana levies stamp duty, a transfer duty and a registration fee with no gender-based difference; the combined charge is roughly 6% of the market value.
| Charge | Rate |
|---|---|
| Stamp duty | 4% |
| Transfer duty | 1.5% |
| Registration fee | 0.5% |
How Market Values Are Determined
Market Values in Hyderabad are notified by the Registration & Stamps Department, Government of Telangana. In setting them, the government weighs the locality and its infrastructure, prevailing market transaction values, the property type (residential, commercial, land) and the nature and age of construction. The rates are meant to be reviewed periodically so they track the market. Telangana revised property market values in 2024, raising Hyderabad’s registration guideline rates by roughly 20–30% over the previous 2021 slabs (steepest in IT-corridor localities). Where notified rates lag actual prices, a gap opens up between the market value and what properties actually sell for.
How to Check the Market Value for Your Property
- Identify your locality. Identify the district (Hyderabad / Rangareddy / Medchal), mandal and locality of your property.
- Open the official portal. Open the IGRS Telangana portal and use the Market Value Search.
- Select property type and area. Choose the property type — apartment, open plot or land — to view the applicable market value.
- Verify at the Sub-Registrar office. Note the value per sq ft / sq yard and verify at the Sub-Registrar office before registration.
Market Value vs Market Rate in Hyderabad
The market value is a floor for registration, not the market price. In most Hyderabad localities the actual transaction price runs above the notified rate, so stamp duty is charged on the higher market value; in a few slower pockets the notified rate can exceed a distressed deal price, in which case duty is still charged on the higher notified value and the difference can carry income-tax implications. Telangana revised property market values in 2024, raising Hyderabad’s registration guideline rates by roughly 20–30% over the previous 2021 slabs (steepest in IT-corridor localities). Knowing both numbers before you negotiate is essential.
Impact on Buyers & Sellers
For buyers
Your stamp duty and registration are calculated on the market value value or the sale value, whichever is higher, so factor the notified rate into your total acquisition cost. Where the state offers a women’s concession, registering in a woman’s name can lower the duty.
For sellers
The market value sets a floor for your sale value in the eyes of the tax department. Selling below it can trigger capital-gains computed on the notified value under Section 50C of the Income-tax Act. Price with both the notified rate and current market comparables in view.
