From the rate, its unit and your area to the DLC value, step by step.
Rate × area in the same unit
The DLC value is the rate multiplied by the area, with both in the same unit. If the rate is per square metre and your area is in square yards, the area is first converted with the exact factor (1 square yard = 0.83612736 square metre).
Units such as bigha, biswa or kanal have different sizes in different places. The calculator uses the size recorded for your place; if none is recorded it asks you to enter the area in a standard unit instead of guessing.
What is not included
Conditions in the rate list, such as extra value for a corner plot, a main road or the floor of a flat, are shown with the rate but are not applied automatically. The result is an indicative figure; the sub-registrar's office decides the value at registration.
