Rajasthan to revise DLC land rates again a month after 10% hike; collectors told to meet by third week of June

Jaipur: The Rajasthan government is preparing to revise District Level Committee (DLC) land rates again, just over a month after raising them by 10 per cent across the state on 1 April 2026. Finance Department Secretary Kumar Pal Gautam has written to all district collectors directing them to convene DLC meetings and review the market value of land in their districts by the third week of June. Once the revised rates are notified, registration of land, flats and houses in the state will become more expensive.

At present, the DLC rates for agricultural, residential and commercial land in Rajasthan are based on 2024 estimates. The Finance Secretary’s letter notes that no DLC meeting was held in 2025, and that the current rates were therefore applied after a flat 10 per cent increase.

According to the letter, inputs received from various sources indicate that the existing DLC rates are far below actual market prices. It says land values along several state and national highways and in industrial areas have risen continuously over the past two years, making a fresh review of the rates necessary in the interest of state revenue.

The Finance Secretary has asked all collectors to hold the DLC meetings by the third week of June so that proposals to bring DLC rates closer to prevailing market prices can be prepared.

In Jaipur, DLC rates have been raised three times under the Bhajan Lal Sharma government — by 10 per cent on 1 April 2024, by 5 to 15 per cent in December 2024, and by another 10 per cent in April 2026.
