Government adopts Transparent, Data-Driven Framework for Revision of Collector Rates

Chandigarh, March 31- The Haryana Government has undertaken the revision of Collector Rates through a well-defined, transparent, and systematic process, aligned with prevailing market values. The exercise, conducted annually, has this year been based on a robust data-driven and rationalized framework.

Divulging more details in this regard an official spokesperson said that the revision is grounded in an analytical assessment of the top 50 percent of property registries across each segment, wherein transaction values exceeded the existing Collector Rates. This methodology ensures that the revised rates more accurately reflect actual market trends.

Elaborating on the framework, the spokesperson shared that the increase in Collector Rates has been structured into graded slabs. No increase has been effected in segments where transaction values ranged between 0 and 20 percent above the Collector Rate. In other segments, the revisions have been applied as follows: 15 percent increase for 20–35 percent variation; 25 percent for 35–70 percent; 30 percent for 70–100 percent; 45 percent for 100–150 percent; 60 percent for 150–200 percent; and up to a maximum of 75 percent in cases exceeding 200 percent variation.

The exercise covered a comprehensive analysis of 160,752 segments across the state. Of these, 68.80 percent (110,607 segments) recorded no increase, falling within the 0–20 percent category. In the remaining segments, increases were applied as follows: 15 percent in 5.72 percent (9,203 segments), 25 percent in 7.82 percent (12,585 segments), 30 percent in 4.03 percent (6,492 segments), 45 percent in 4.01 percent (6,451 segments), 60 percent in 2.15 percent (3,467 segments), and 75 percent in 7.43 percent (11,947 segments).

The spokesperson emphasized that the model has been carefully designed to ensure transparency, balance, and public welfare, while safeguarding citizens from undue financial burden and aligning Collector Rates with realistic market valuations.

The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance transparency in property transactions, effectively curb the circulation of unaccounted money, and facilitate fair and equitable property dealings for citizens.

Reaffirming the Government’s commitment, the spokesperson said that such data-driven and transparent decision-making processes will continue to be prioritized. The Government remains steadfast in its resolve to promote development anchored in integrity, public trust, and a progressive outlook.

Arrangements in place in Haryana Mandis for Rabi Procurement from April 1 to May 15

District Food & Supply Controllers, Agency Managers Given Special Training: Rajesh Nagar

Mandis and Administration Fully Prepared for Rabi Procurement 2026–27

Chandigarh, March 31 – Haryana is fully geared up for the Rabi procurement season 2026–27, with government procurement set to begin from April 1 and continue till May 15, backed by extensive arrangements across mandis and administrative machinery.

Divulging more details in this regard, Minister of State for Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, Sh. Rajesh Nagar said that grain markets across the state have been readied with a focus on cleanliness and essential facilities for farmers. Officers concerned, including District Food and Supply Controllers and the District Managers of the agency, have undergone specialised training to ensure smooth procurement operations.

He said that procurement in the mandis will be biometric-based; to simplify the process, the State Government has mandated biometric verification for either the farmer personally or for only one of the three nominees designated by them, eliminating the need for farmers to be physically present at the mandi.

The Minister said that all mandi locations have been geo-fenced. Under this facility, it will be ensured that all activities, including the issuance of gate passes, auctions, the generation of 'J-Forms' (sale receipts), and the lifting of produce are conducted exclusively within the mandi premises. To achieve this, physical presence within the geo-fenced zone of the mandi is verified, thereby preventing any unauthorized individual from fraudulently selling a farmer's produce in the farmer's name.

He further informed that for gate pass issuance, uploading of the vehicle photograph along with the vehicle number has been made mandatory. In cases where vehicles do not have number plates, farmers will be allowed to display the number manually on paper or by paint, which will be treated as valid.

The Minister further said that exit gate passes will be issued only when the vehicle is physically present within the geo-fenced mandi area. Similarly, geo-fencing of storage locations has been implemented to ensure that foodgrain is accepted in warehouses only when the vehicle is physically present within the designated storage premises.

He added that procurement will be carried out for all farmers registered on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal. Crop verification will be done through a satellite imagery-based system started by the Agriculture department to verify the crops grown on the land declared by the farmers, along with checks by revenue and district agriculture officials, and a third layer of validation using heat maps generated by HARSAC.
