Property Registration Update: The Haryana government has rejected the Revenue Department's proposal to increase the collector rate of land. The Revenue Department wanted to increase the collector rate by 10 to 20 percent. But, Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini is not in favor of this. He has given clear instructions that the registration of land in Haryana will be done only at the old collector rate. In Haryana, the revised collector rates are implemented in April after March. This time the code of conduct was in place due to the Lok Sabha elections. Due to this, the new collector rates could not be implemented.
As soon as the code of conduct was lifted, proposals for revised collector rates were sent to the Revenue Department from the districts. When this file reached Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini for approval, he returned the file to the department and ordered the registration of land in all the districts of the state at the old rate. Former CM of the state Manohar Lal Khattar had given instructions during his tenure that before increasing the collector rate, the property prices in the districts should be ascertained properly.

Collector rate is very important for buying and selling of land. Registration fee is charged on the basis of collector rate. The government fixes collector rate for land in every village, city and district. Land registration is not done at less than collector rate. The district administration fixes collector rate for the land of the district only after studying the situation and market research at different places and sends its proposal to the revenue department. Collector rate is fixed after the approval of the state government.
