Definition

The District Level Committee benchmark valuation for land in a locality and category, used as the floor for computing stamp duty. Duty is charged on the higher of the actual consideration and the DLC value, so declaring a price below the benchmark saves nothing. The schedule prices a locality and a category; it does not price a parcel, and it is blind to access, shape, encumbrances and title quality.

District Level Committee benchmark valuation; duty is computed on the higher of consideration and DLC value.

District Level Committee benchmark valuation, used as the floor for stamp duty computation.
