The Delhi Cabinet on Monday revised the circle rates for sale and purchase of properties in the city, effecting a substantial increase for all colonies across the city which may result in rise in property prices.
While briefing the media after the Cabinet meeting, Delhi chief minister Shiela Dikshit stated that the new circle rates will be introduced to minimise the difference between the average market rate and the existing circle rates of different localities.
Ms Dikhsit said, “The neighbouring governments of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have been enhancing circle rates in respect of Noida and Gurgaon very frequently. In view of prevailing actual market rates in Delhi and in other NCR towns, it was felt appropriate to rationalise existing circle rates.”
“it has been decided to introduce circle rates based on localities and colonies,” said Ms Dikshit.
