What is the circle rate in Lucknow?
The circle rate is the government’s minimum value per square metre for property in a particular area. In Lucknow it is fixed separately for residential land, commercial land, agricultural land, flats and built-up property, and often by the width of the road the property faces. When you register a sale, the sub-registrar compares the price in the sale deed with the circle rate value and charges stamp duty on the higher of the two. It works like the circle rate in Delhi and Noida, the collector rate in Haryana and the ready reckoner rate in Maharashtra.
Circle rates in Lucknow from 1 August 2025
The 2025 revision raised rates across most of the city and nearby villages. Commercial property rose by about 20% to 30%, and commercial plots are valued higher than residential plots in the same area. Areas inside the LDA’s extension zones and villages within municipal corporation limits were handled separately. Indicative residential circle rates reported for major localities:
| Locality | Indicative residential circle rate (₹ per sq m) |
|---|---|
| Hazratganj / MG Marg | 76,000 – 77,000 |
| Indira Nagar | 35,000 – 60,000 |
| Gomti Nagar (Vibhuti Khand) | 40,000 – 45,000 |
| Aliganj / Sitapur Road | 39,000 – 45,000 |

| Sultanpur Road / Shaheed Path | 25,000 – 30,000 |
These are indicative ranges as reported for the current list. The exact rate depends on the mohalla, the road width and the property type, so always check the official evaluation list for your sub-registrar office before you register.

How to calculate stamp duty in Lucknow: example
Illustration only: a 120 sq m residential plot in Gomti Nagar Extension, with a deal price of ₹45 lakh and an assumed circle rate of ₹32,000 per sq m:
- Circle rate value: 120 × ₹32,000 = ₹38.4 lakh
- Value used: ₹45 lakh (the higher figure)
- Stamp duty for a man (7%): ₹3.15 lakh
- Stamp duty for a woman (6%): ₹2.7 lakh
- Registration fee (1%): ₹45,000
The circle rate in this example is assumed. Use the official rate for your plot’s mohalla and road width. To convert your plot area between square feet and square metres, use our square feet to square metre converter.
Circle rate vs market rate in Lucknow
- In Gomti Nagar, Gomti Nagar Extension, Shaheed Path and Sultanpur Road, market prices are often well above the circle rate.
- The 2025 revision narrowed the gap in many areas, so registration costs have gone up even where prices have not.
- If a property is registered below the circle rate value by more than the allowed 10% tolerance, both buyer and seller can face income tax under Sections 56(2)(x) and 50C of the Income Tax Act.
- For LDA and Awas Vikas property, also check the authority’s own allotment price and any dues before you agree a price.
Before you buy property in Lucknow
- Check the circle rate for the exact mohalla, road width and property type before you agree the price.
- Check the khatauni and mutation records for the seller’s ownership.
- For LDA and Awas Vikas property, check the allotment letter, the freehold status and the authority’s no-dues certificate.
- For flats and new projects, check the registration on the UP RERA website.
