You might wonder: Why look at rates from over two decades ago? After all, a 1,000 sq. ft. flat in Bandra that cost ₹50 lakhs in 2001 now costs ₹5 crore.

The answer lies in Fair Market Value (FMV) as of April 1, 2001. The Income Tax Act, for calculating long-term capital gains, often requires the asset’s cost of acquisition to be indexed from 2001. If you inherited a property or bought it before 2001, the Ready Reckoner of 2001-02 is the legal yardstick to prove its then-value.

The "Ready Reckoner 2001-02 Mumbai PDF Patched" is a utility document likely created by professionals to consolidate rate corrections for ease of use. While it serves as a useful historical reference, it is an unofficial derivative work. For any legal or financial application, the data within must be authenticated against original government notifications.

The 2001-02 document predates the modern "search by pin code" or "search by street name" tools. Unpatched, it is a raw raster image requiring manual scanning of 300+ pages. ready+reckoner+2001+02+mumbai+pdf+patched

To understand why people are still hunting for the 2001-02 version, you have to look at what happened immediately after. In 2002-03, the Maharashtra government drastically revised the Ready Reckoner rates.

In many suburbs of Mumbai, rates were hiked by 30% to 50% overnight. This caused a massive uproar among builders and homebuyers. Consequently, the 2001-02 edition became the "Golden Standard"—the last document reflecting the older, lower valuations. For years, people clung to this document to compare valuations or settle disputes regarding properties purchased during that transition period.

Q1: Is the 2001-02 Ready Reckoner the same as the Stamp Duty Ready Reckoner? Yes. It is the same document. In 2001, it was officially called "Ready Reckoner of Minimum Rates of Stamp Duty & Registration Fees." You might wonder: Why look at rates from

Q2: My patched PDF shows "Nil" for certain lanes in Bandra. Is that correct? Possibly yes. In 2001, several internal "Chawls" and non-CC roads had nil or nominal circle rates because transactions rarely happened there. Cross-check with a 2002 newspaper archive for confirmation.

Q3: Can I use the patched PDF for a loan against an old property? No. Banks (SBI, HDFC) will accept only the current ready reckoner or an approved valuer’s report. The 2001 document is only for historical cost calculation, not current collateral assessment.

Q4: Why is the Navi Mumbai section incomplete in most patched PDFs? Because in 2001, Navi Mumbai development was governed by CIDCO’s separate rate schedule. The Mumbai ready reckoner only covered the old MCGM limits. A truly complete patched PDF would include a CIDCO addendum. The 2001-02 document predates the modern "search by

In the context of digital file sharing, "patched" can sometimes imply an altered file.

A true patch reorders the chaotic scan into logical ward-wise order: A, B, C, D... T, depending on the old Mumbai ward structure. A table of contents with clickable links is added.
