In this guide
An industrial buyer in Bhiwadi is quoted four different numbers for what looks like the same thing, usually by four different people, and each one is correct for a purpose that is not his.
Getting them mixed up is not a rounding error. A buyer who budgets a resale purchase from an allotment rate, or who reads a DLC figure as a market valuation, arrives at a number that cannot be reconciled with any real transaction, and then concludes that somebody is overcharging.
| Value | What it is | What it is legitimately used for |
|---|---|---|
| RIICO allotment rate | RIICO’s official area and category-specific allotment price or rate base | A fresh allotment, and RIICO’s own calculations under the applicable order and rules |
| E-auction reserve price | The starting or minimum price for one particular auction lot | That specified scheme, lot and date, and nothing else |
| Rajasthan DLC value | The registration and stamp-duty valuation floor | Working out the registry bill, never availability or market value |
| Resale-market price | What an existing allottee or lessee will actually accept | Market guidance, where it is supported by dated transaction evidence |
| RIICO transfer fee | The authority’s fee under the applicable transfer branch | Added to the other costs, never substituted for them |
The allotment rate is area-specific and it moves by order
RIICO fixes allotment rates area by area and category by category, through office orders, and that is the level at which the number exists. There is no Bhiwadi-wide industrial allotment rate to quote.
A current example makes the point precisely. RIICO fixed an allotment rate of ₹2,850 per square metre for undeveloped land at Industrial Area Rabadka under Bhiwadi Unit-II through Office Order No. IPI/F-1(9)-3/2026/337 dated 3 August 2026, effective immediately. That figure is exact and it is also narrow: it is one land category, in one industrial area, under one unit. It is not a resale-market rate, not a DLC rate, not a developed-plot rate, and not a Bhiwadi-wide industrial rate, and applying it to a plot in Chopanki or Khushkhera produces a number with no authority behind it.
The allotment rate matters to a resale buyer for one indirect reason: it is the base the RIICO transfer fee is calculated on, per Rule 18. Our transfer charges guide sets out those branches, and the same warning applies there, that the prevailing rate has to be established for the concerned area and the relevant payment date.
A reserve price belongs to one lot on one date
An e-auction reserve price is the floor for a specific lot in a specific scheme, published in that scheme’s notice. It tells you where bidding starts for that plot, on that occasion.
What it does not tell you is what plots in the area are worth, what the next auction will open at, or what an existing allottee should accept for a comparable plot. Auction outcomes depend on who turned up, and a lot that closes far above its reserve and a lot that finds no bidder at all are both ordinary results. Treat a reserve price as a fact about one auction rather than as a market indicator.
DLC is a stamp-duty floor, in industrial exactly as in residential
The Rajasthan DLC value is the registration valuation floor for the location and category. It sets the minimum on which the buyer’s stamp duty is computed, and that is its whole function.
It is not a valuation of the plot, not a statement of what RIICO would charge, and not evidence that a price is fair. Our DLC rate pages publish the notified schedules with that caveat on every one of them, and the registry charges guide covers how the duty is computed from it. A buyer who hears “the DLC rate here is X” and treats X as the market has made the single most common valuation error in this belt.
Resale price is a market number, and it needs evidence behind it
The resale price is what an existing allottee or lessee will accept from a buyer, negotiated between them. It is the only one of the four that reflects supply and demand, and it is therefore also the one most often asserted without support.
Our own indicative industrial resale band is a first-party and partner-sourced market indication, and it carries the date it was checked. It is not a RIICO figure and it has no government provenance, which is a distinction worth stating explicitly whenever it appears next to an allotment rate on the same page. Anyone attaching official standing to a market band is misrepresenting where the number came from.
What legitimately supports a resale number is dated transaction evidence: what comparable plots in that area actually changed hands for, and when. What does not support it is a published layout plan, a reserve price from a past auction, or a DLC figure.
A worked way to think about one plot
Take a resale purchase of a utilized industrial plot in a named area. Four numbers enter the buyer’s sheet and they do different jobs.
The resale price is what he pays the seller, and it comes from negotiation supported by comparable transactions. The DLC value determines the floor for his stamp duty and registration fee, which is a cost on top. The allotment rate for that area is the base RIICO’s transfer fee is computed from under the applicable Rule 18 branch, which is another cost on top and unrelated to what he paid the seller. The reserve price from some earlier auction in the area does not enter the calculation at all; at most it is background.
Add to that the plot’s outstanding RIICO dues, which are their own liability and are settled as part of the transfer rather than absorbed into any of the four.
The mistakes this distinction prevents
Four, and each is common enough that we hear it monthly.
Budgeting a resale from an allotment rate. The allotment rate is what RIICO charges on a fresh allotment in that area, and an existing allottee is under no obligation to sell at it.
Reading a DLC rate as a valuation. It is a duty floor. A plot can trade well above it, and in a weak pocket uncomfortably near it, and neither fact tells you anything about whether the price is right.
Quoting a reserve price as the going rate. It belonged to one lot on one date.
Assuming a published layout plan means plots are available. It does not: availability requires a dated record, not a plan.
Frequently Asked Questions About Four Numbers on a RIICO Plot
What is the RIICO rate in Bhiwadi?
There is no single Bhiwadi rate. RIICO fixes allotment rates by industrial area and land category through office orders, so the question has to name the area, the category and the date. The Rabadka order above shows the level at which such a rate actually exists.
Can I buy a RIICO plot at the allotment rate?
Only through a fresh allotment or a scheme where that rate applies. A resale is a negotiation with the existing allottee, and the allotment rate does not bind him. Its relevance to your resale is as the base for the transfer fee.
Is the DLC rate lower or higher than the market rate for industrial plots?
Either, depending on the location, and that is the point of keeping them apart. DLC is a stamp-duty floor set by the Registration and Stamps Department, and it moves on its own schedule rather than tracking industrial demand.
Where do your industrial resale figures come from?
They are first-party and partner-sourced market indications carrying the date they were checked, and we label them that way wherever they appear. They are not RIICO figures and they carry no government provenance.
Want the four numbers for a specific plot?
Give us the industrial area and the plot number. We will set out what the resale market supports, what the DLC schedule says for that location, what the transfer fee will be computed from, and what dues are outstanding, as four separate lines rather than one blended figure.
