NOIDA: Be ready to shell out more money for buying properties in Gautam Budh Nagar as the administration could hike circle rates in some pockets of the district after a gap of four years. TOI has learnt that the local administration will soon begin an exercise to evaluate the prevailing land rates in the three revenue sub-divisions of the district Dadri, Sadar and Jewar. Circle rates are updated every year, usually on August 1.
From 2017, the circle rates in Noida, Greater Noida and other parts of the district have largely remained unchanged. But this time the need to revise them upwards is being felt as the three industrial development authorities of Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway have jacked up the property rates over the past three years. In UP, the government charges 7% of the property value as stamp duty.
