Hindi Fee Schedule Typing Service for Property Valuation in Rajasthan

What a Hindi Land Rate Fee Schedule (Annexure 20) Contains

A land rate fee schedule is a tabular notification published by the District Level Committee that sets per‑hectare values for different categories of land across villages. In Rajasthan the schedules are often referred to as Annexure 20 and serve as the base for computing stamp duty under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. A typical schedule runs to several pages and includes columns for serial number, village name, land type, irrigated (सिंचित) or unirrigated (असिंचित), along with the applicable rate per hectare. Additional columns may show survey numbers, revenue villages and the date from which the rates are effective. Because the document is prepared in Hindi by block‑level authorities, the layout uses Devanagari script and dense tabular formatting that can be difficult to digitise manually.

Common Hindi Terms in Land Rate Schedules

The vocabulary in a fee schedule is repetitive and technical. Recognising a few key terms makes it much easier to read the typed copy. The table below lists the most frequent words with their romanised form and English equivalent.

सिंचित	sinchit	Irrigated
असिंचित	asinichit	Unirrigated
प्रति हेक्टेयर	prati hectare	Per hectare
कृषि भूमि	krishi bhoomi	Agricultural land
गैर‑कृषि भूमि	gair‑krishi bhoomi	Non‑agricultural land
राजस्व ग्राम	rajasva gram	Revenue village
भू‑राजस्व	bhoo‑rajsva	Land revenue

Why People Need a Typed Fee Schedule for Property Valuation

A clean typed version of the fee schedule turns a scanned government circular into a searchable, editable document that can be shared and reused across different workflows. Buyers and sellers use it to estimate stamp duty and registration charges before a property transaction. Banks often ask for a latest valuation schedule when assessing collateral for a loan. In family settlements or inheritance matters, the schedule helps arrive at a fair asset value. Some foreign visa applications require a net‑worth declaration backed by property documents; a legible typed schedule supports such submissions when accompanied by a certified copy. From our experience with property‑document typing requests, a typed schedule also saves hours of manual data entry for anyone maintaining land‑rate records.

AI Typing vs Government‑Certified Copy, and When Notarisation or Attestation Is Required

Lekhak’s AI typing service extracts the text from a scanned Hindi schedule and produces a typed DOCX file that preserves columns, rate figures, and the original layout, all in a few minutes. However, this typed document is not a certified true copy. For any legal or official purpose, property registration at the Sub‑Registrar’s office, court filings, or embassy submissions, the authority will require a certified copy issued by the Sub‑Registrar or the District Level Committee that prepared the schedule. If you need an attested copy for a foreign visa, the normal route is to obtain a certified copy first and then have it apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs under the Hague Convention. Lekhak does not provide certified, notarised, or attested copies; those processes are handled separately by the user through the appropriate government offices or notaries.

What Lekhak’s AI Typing Service Produces

When you upload a PDF, image, or scan of a Hindi land‑rate schedule, Lekhak’s AI runs optical character recognition tuned for Devanagari script and populates a typed DOCX file. The output mirrors the original table structure: columns for village, land type and rate per hectare stay intact, and all numbers are reproduced as editable text. Because the process is entirely automated, the file is ready for download in minutes. No translation is applied, the Hindi text remains Hindi, and no certificate or translator’s note is added. The typed copy is meant for internal use, draft preparation, or as a personal reference. For current usage fees, see lekhak.app/pricing. The DOCX can then be opened in any word processor for verification against the source.

How to Obtain a Duplicate of the Original Fee Schedule

If the original schedule is lost or illegible, the official procedure is to apply at the Sub‑Registrar’s office or the District Level Committee that issued it. Carry the village name, tehsil, and district details, along with an application on plain paper and the prescribed fee. The office will provide a certified copy stamped and signed by the competent officer. This is a manual government process and Lekhak does not participate in it. The certified copy is the only version accepted for registration, stamp‑duty adjudication, or legal attestation chains.

Regional Variations & Statutes Behind Land Rate Schedules

Every state publishes property valuation rates under its own nomenclature. Rajasthan issues Annexure 20 schedules under the directions of the Inspector General of Registration and Stamps, Rajasthan; our experience includes schedules from areas such as Khairthal‑Tijara and Tapukada. In Uttar Pradesh, the same function is performed by circle rates, while Maharashtra uses ready‑reckoner rates. Despite the different labels, the legal foundations are common: the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 and the Registration Act, 1908, supplemented by state‑specific stamp rules notified on the Rajasthan government portal. Together they ensure that stamp duty is calculated on a minimum value determined through these schedules, preventing undervaluation of property.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Annexure 20 fee schedule?

It is a table of per‑hectare land rates published by a District Level Committee in Rajasthan, used as the reference for minimum property value when calculating stamp duty and registration charges.

How does a land rate schedule help with stamp duty?

In most Indian states, stamp duty is computed on the higher of the actual transaction price or the rate fixed in the schedule. Having the schedule lets you estimate the duty payable in advance.

Can I use Lekhak’s typed copy for property registration?

No, the typed copy is an AI‑generated reference document. Only a certified copy obtained from the Sub‑Registrar’s office is accepted for registration, mutation, or legal submission.

What if the fee schedule is entirely in Hindi?

Lekhak’s typing service preserves the Hindi text as typed Hindi in the DOCX. If you later need an English translation, you can use Lekhak’s translation feature separately on the typed file.

How accurate is the typed DOCX?

The AI typing is highly accurate for clear printed Devanagari text, but you should proofread the output against the original scan, especially if the source is faded or handwritten.

Can I get an attested copy of the fee schedule for visa purposes?

Attestation is done by the Ministry of External Affairs through the apostille process. You must first obtain a certified copy from the issuing authority and then submit it for apostille; Lekhak does not handle attestation.

Does Lekhak offer notarisation of the typed document?

No, Lekhak provides AI‑based typing only. If a notarised copy is required, you should approach a notary public independently after obtaining the official certified schedule.

How long does typing take?

The conversion happens in minutes after you upload the scanned schedule. You can download the typed DOCX as soon as the AI completes the processing.

What file formats can I upload?

You can upload PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, or scanned DOCX files. The platform supports multi‑page scans, so an entire schedule can be processed in one go.

Is the typed document editable?

Yes, the output is a standard DOCX file that you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or any compatible application to edit, search, or print as needed.
