As the property graph continues to go down, the state government plans to reduce the property rates in the Ready Reckoner to reflect reality. The reduction might well be in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the rates for various areas in the existing Ready Reckoner. The decrease in Thane and Pune, where the recession has hit badly, will be more. The rates in it are used as a basis for the calculation of stamp duty charged by the government on registration of property deals.
