How to find the official rate for your own survey number
A survey number is the number the revenue records give to one piece of land. It is on your 7/12 extract, on the sale agreement, and on whatever the seller sent you. The rate book does not price villages. It prices lists of survey numbers, so two neighbours in the same village can sit on completely different rates. This page shows you how to find the line that covers yours, in about a minute.
The question this page answersWhich official rate applies to my survey number in a Dholera village?
Take your survey number from the 7/12 extract, open the farm land register, choose your village, and type the number into the survey box. The line that lists your number is the line that governs your plot. If no line lists it, the book prints no rate for that number and neither do we.
Every rate here comes from one rate book, headed ASR - 2011 Final, which has been in force since 18 April 2011. These are 2011 figures. A revision was proposed later and then held back after objections, and we hold no government document for it, so we print no figure for it. Check the rate in force today with the Gujarat Revenue Department before you sign anything, and never read a 2011 figure as a 2026 market price.
Four steps, in order
The whole job is finding one line in a book of 1,431 pages.
- Get the number right. Take it from the 7/12 extract, called the village form 7/12, rather than from a brochure. Plots are often subdivided, so 138 and 138/1 are different entries and only one of them is yours.
- Know which village you are in. The book files by village, and the 22 Dholera villages are filed under Dhandhuka and Barwala, never under Dholera. The village list is here.
- Search the register. On the farm land page pick your village and type the number into the survey box. Every line that mentions it will stay on screen. Do the same on the non-farm page if the land has already been converted.
- Read the line, not the village. The rate on that line applies to the numbers printed on it. The village range is context, not your answer.
If your number appears on no line, that is a real finding rather than a failure. The book prints rates for the survey numbers it lists and is silent about the rest, and we do not fill that silence with a neighbouring figure. Some villages carry no printed rate at all.

- Survey numbers are copied exactly as the book prints them, full stops and all. The leading -/ you will see on some lines is the book's own shorthand, defined in its footnote as Other Survey numbers if any.
- The rate book has no taluka called Dholera. A taluka is the subdivision of a district that sits above the village. Dholera taluka was created after this book was printed, so every line here appears under taluka DHANDHUKA, and we leave it that way rather than relabel a government document.
Three things that trip people up
The same village, two very different rates
Kadipur is the clearest case in this data. Its printed lines run from INR 26 to INR 338 per square metre, a spread of more than twelve times, across 102 lines in one village. Quoting a single Kadipur rate is meaningless without the survey number.
The dash slash prefix
Some survey number lists start with -/. That is the book's own marker and its footnote defines it as Other Survey numbers if any, meaning the line catches numbers not listed elsewhere on the page. We reproduce it rather than tidy it away, because tidying it would change what the document says.
The rate is printed twice
Each line carries the same rate per acre and per square metre. They are not two different rates. The book's footnote says the per square metre figure is the base rate for calculation. If you would rather see it per square foot, the conversions are here.
