Mohali Collector Rates Hike: New Changes Impact Property Deals Starting October 23
Mohali's real estate scene pivoted sharply as the district administration introduced significant collector rate hikes for the 2025-26 period. Effective October 23, 2025, rates shot up. Residential zones saw increases of 20% to 32%, while hotspots like Gillco Park Hills surged by 40%. JLPL climbed up by 21%, GMADA sectors saw a 10-20% gain, and city homes jumped 32%. Industrial rates edged up by a flat 30%, whereas commercial properties remained untouched.
These rates shape property evaluations. Now, stamp duty is calculated based on the higher of the original deal price or the new guideline rates. Before purchase verivy all updates on the government website. Buyers face higher closing costs instantly.
What Drove Such Big Changes?
Officials aimed to match rates with market demand. The developer provides affordable properties in Mohali that come equipped with modern amenities, making them appealing to both families and investors. Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal pointed out that discussions with stakeholders led to smoother adjustments, ensuring that deals reflect true values and registrations run more smoothly.
Villages under municipal oversight got 5% to 33% hikes. Last year’s September change ranged from 26% to 50%. This demonstrates a trend of matching booming demand.
Examples illustrate this:
- Prime areas: From ₹30,000 to ₹36,000 per sq yd (20% up)
- Hot locations: From ₹45,000 to ₹56,000 (about 24% rise)
- Elite spots: More than 32% or up to 67% in exceptions
Who Gets Hit the Most?
Buyers in Major Zones
Housing prices rise sharply. Gillco Park Hills with a 40% increase? Buyers there need to rethink their plans quickly. The 21% rise in JLPL raises costs for families. GMADA’s 10–20% spread pain across new properties, and city residential areas jumped 32%, affecting urban exchanges.
Industrial Projects
Factories and expansions face a 30% rate hike. Developers will reconsider budgets before starting.
Commercial Sector Stability
Business centres remain steady. No changes mean leases and sales proceed without extra duty hikes.
Transaction Changes in Action
Stamp duty, often between 5% to 7% of the value, soars significantly. A ₹1 crore home at old rates attracted ₹5-7 lakh in duty. The new math adds 20%+ to that base, adding lakhs more to people’s pockets. Investors close deals pre-hike; others wait, hoping for drops.
One agent said deals slowed post-announcement, but prime spots still sell as Mohali’s growth pulls in strong demand.
What Should Buyers and Sellers Do Now?
- Move quickly if under old rates: Lock your deal before October 23 to avoid higher baseline rates.

- Prepare for more costs: Include duty on the top sale price or new rates.

This revision cuts hidden pricing, introducing transparency. Still, it cools Mohali’s dynamic market, pushing savvy moves from all market players. Expect impacts through 2026.
