Building Value Calculator for Telangana — How It Works

For an independent house or building in Telangana, the Registration & Stamps Department values the structure separately from the land. The structure rates below are "inclusive of cost of amenities and exclusive of site value", so the land (site) value from the IGRS market value guidelines is added separately. This calculator applies the official structure rates, the rates for unfinished structures and the depreciation rules notified by the Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration and Stamps, Telangana.

Depreciation Rules (all structures)

  • 1 to 10 years: Nil
  • Above 10 years: 1% for each year over and above 10 years, subject to a maximum of 70%
  • Age proof: to avail depreciation, a certificate of the age of the structure should be obtained from the competent authority (Panchayat Office, Nagar Panchayat, Municipality, Municipal Corporation, etc.) and its particulars incorporated in the document

The 70% cap is reached at 80 years (70 years over the first 10). Example: a 20-year-old RCC house in GHMC (HMDA area) with 1,200 sq.ft plinth area — depreciation = (20 − 10) × 1% = 10%; structure value = 1,200 × Rs.1,100 × (1 − 0.10) = Rs.11,88,000.

Formula Used by This Calculator

Structure Value = Plinth Area (sq.ft) × Structure Rate (Rs./sq.ft) × Stage % × (1 − Depreciation %)

The same rate applies to every floor — the proceedings do not prescribe different rates by floor. Enter floor-wise areas only to add them up and see the split.

How Building Value Affects Stamp Duty in Telangana

Stamp duty, transfer duty and registration fee are charged on the market value of the property (land plus structure for an independent house) or the consideration stated in the document, whichever is higher. Use the IGRS market value tool for the land rate and the stamp duty calculator for the charges.

When Not to Use This Calculator

  • Flats in apartments — IGRS values these with apartment (composite) rates per sq.ft that already include the land share
  • Construction cost estimates — these rates are for registration valuation, not the actual cost of building

Frequently Asked Questions

How is building value calculated for registration in Telangana?
Structure value = plinth area × structure rate × stage % × (1 − depreciation). The structure rate for independent buildings is RCC Rs.1,100/sq.ft (HMDA, all Municipal Corporations, Secunderabad Cantonment Board, Municipalities above 1 lakh population) or Rs.900/sq.ft (Gram Panchayats and Municipalities below 1 lakh population); Non-RCC and parking place Rs.750 or Rs.600/sq.ft. Source: Proceedings No. MV/539/2014, w.e.f. 22-07-2021.
What is the depreciation for old buildings in Telangana?
Nil for structures aged 1 to 10 years. Above 10 years, 1% for each year over and above 10 years, subject to a maximum of 70%. Depreciation is allowed only when an age-proof certificate from the Panchayat, Nagar Panchayat, Municipality or Municipal Corporation is obtained and its particulars are incorporated in the document.
What rate applies to a building under construction?
Unfinished structures are valued at a percentage of the structure rate: 25% up to foundation level, 65% up to slab level and 85% up to finishing level.
Does this apply to flats in an apartment?
No. These structure rates are for independent buildings and structures (without land). Flats are valued with the IGRS apartment rates per sq.ft, which you can look up in the Market Value tool.
Is the land value included in the structure rate?
No. The proceedings state that the rates are "inclusive of cost of amenities and exclusive of site value". The site (land) value is taken from the IGRS market value guidelines for the plot and assessed separately.
