Residential land or property can be categorised as premises that are meant for residential usages only. This can include farmhouses and flats. At the same time, residential premises that are rented or guest houses are also a part of this category.
Commercial land or property can be categorised as premises that are meant for commercial purposes. Showrooms, retail shops, eateries, godowns gardens, multiplexes, cinema halls and restaurants, cafes and banquets outside the hotel premises, are taken as commercial properties.
Institutions include all educational, medical, government and community centres. This is a huge list that entails yoga centres, gas stations, stations, booking stations, etc.
Industrial land and property are premises that are meant for industrial purposes and are registered under the Industrial Department of the government of Rajasthan. Examples of such properties are canteens and small cafetaria in the factories and industrial workplaces that are meant for industrial workers.
What is exterior and interior DLC rate?
The DLC rate can be easily divided into two categories, the DLC exterior and the interior. These are categorised and defined by their proximity to the road. If the property or land is deemed to be beside the main road, the DLC exterior is applicable. However, if the property or land is not beside the main road, the DLC interior is applicable on it. These categories apply to both, residential and commercial categories.

DLC rate latest updates
Developers demand lower DLC rate, Rajasthan state budget slashes rate
Developers in Rajasthan have demanded that the district level committee (DLC) rates should be lowered by 30%. In 2017, the DLC rate for residential properties was raised to 17%, up from 10%. This, the developers allege, was done without adequate consultation with the public representatives and has led to an imbalance in the property market. Normally, the DLC rate is decided by the committee which includes the MLA and the district collector.
According to the builders, the state government should revise the rates, keeping in view the fact that the market value is far lesser than the fixed value. The DLC rate of commercial properties should not be substantially higher than the residential properties either, they say.
The Rajasthan Budget 2021-22 did seem to accommodate the plea to an extent. While presenting the state budget in the assembly, chief minister Ashok Gehlot slashed the DLC rates by 10% and reduced the registry rates for flats priced up to Rs 50 lakhs to 4% from the existing 6%.
While agriculture, health and education were the priority sectors, no new taxes were imposed on the public.
DLC rates and the revival of the realty sector
The reduction in the DLC rates and stamp duty, as decided by the state government, is expected to boost the real estate market. This reduction is expected to increase the demand for housing, providing additional benefits to home buyers. The stamp duty was reduced from 6% to 4% in 2021, to cope up with the economic downfall in the real estate sector. The outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown across the country had adversely affected the sector. However, the reduction in DLC rates has provided significant opportunities in the sector once again. It is expected that with a decreased DLC rate, there would be greater demand for housing units across all sections, thereby, increasing the opportunities for both, sellers and buyers.
DLC rate Jaipur
