Classification of zones and sub zones is mostly done with reference to main arterial roads and railway lines (west to east) – the marine drive, the linking road, the western railway line, the western express highway, the central railway line, the eastern express highway and the harbor line. The current classification of areas in Mumbai is available here
  • Typically, government tends to assign higher ready reckoner rate to commercial properties and lower rates for residential properties
  • Ready reckoner rates also depend upon the type of the property. Registrar value of flats and apartments in Mumbai is different from that of plots and independent houses even in the same area
  • Stilt parking and open parking are to be taken into account while arriving at assesses value for payment of stamp duty. The value of parking slot attached to an apartment is linked to ready reckoner rates as below:

    Open parkingArea of parking slot multiplied by 40% of the ready reckoner rate of developed land in that zone
