Central Evaluation Board approves revised guideline values to ensure transparent property registration and market-linked valuation across select districts
TFP Bureau, Raipur, February 17, 2026:
In a move aimed at improving transparency and accuracy in property transactions, the Central Evaluation Board has approved revised guideline rates for land and property registration in 11 districts of Chhattisgarh. The new rates will come into effect from February 18, 2026, and are expected to streamline valuation processes while benefiting citizens through clearer and more realistic pricing benchmarks.
The decision follows directives issued earlier by the state government asking District Evaluation Committees to submit revision proposals wherever changes in market conditions warranted updates. Acting on these instructions, revised rate proposals were forwarded by multiple districts and subsequently examined at a high-level meeting of the Central Evaluation Board chaired by the Inspector General of Registration.
After detailed scrutiny and deliberations, the Board approved updated guideline values for Rajnandgaon, Bastar, Kabirdham, Jashpur, Mungeli, Kanker, Kondagaon, Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi, Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai, Mohla-Manpur-Ambagadh Chowki, and Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur.
Officials said the revision aims to align government-notified guideline rates more closely with prevailing market values, thereby reducing discrepancies in property valuation and ensuring fair assessment during registration. The updated rates are also expected to curb under-valuation practices, strengthen revenue transparency and make property transactions more straightforward for buyers and sellers.
According to officials present at the meeting, the review process involved comparing district-level data, analysing current real estate trends and considering feedback from local authorities. The Board emphasised that periodic revisions are essential to keep official valuations realistic and credible, especially in rapidly developing districts.
Citizens, property buyers, sellers and other stakeholders can obtain detailed information about the revised rates from their respective district registration offices as well as through the department’s official online portal. Authorities indicated that proposals from additional districts are currently under review and that updated guideline rates for those regions will be notified once approvals are granted.
With the latest approvals, the state government aims to create a more transparent, citizen-friendly and market-aligned property registration system, reinforcing confidence among investors and the general public while strengthening administrative efficiency.
