Circle rate revision ‘may not be uniform’ in capital

Officials from the revenue department have called for a meeting over the next week to review the circle rate structure across various zones of the city, with senior officials saying that the revision in rates may not be uniform, with some likely to log rises and others, a dip, depending on the development and infrastructure of localities.

The revision will take place nearly after a decade, with suggestions sought from all stakeholders, including government departments, residents and industrial bodies, and other agencies. These will be discussed next week, officials said.

“We have received multiple suggestions regarding the revision of circle rates. We are also reviewing previous reports prepared by committees on circle rates, including comparison with other cities. Once the recommendations are ready, these will be reviewed by the chief minister,” an official said.
