COMMON MISTAKES WHEN CHECKING GUIDANCE VALUE ON THE KAVERI PORTAL
When checking the property guidance value on the Kaveri Online Services portal, many users enter incorrect property details, which may result in inaccurate guidance value estimates. Below are some common mistakes to avoid.
1. Selecting the Wrong District or Taluk
Users sometimes select an incorrect district or taluk, which leads to a completely different guidance value. Always verify the exact jurisdiction of the property before entering details.
2. Choosing the Incorrect Village or Hobli
Guidance value varies significantly between villages and hoblis. Selecting the wrong village name or hobli may produce an incorrect property value.
3. Entering Incorrect Property Measurement
Property measurement must be entered correctly, including the unit of measurement (square feet, square meters, or acres). Incorrect measurements will result in inaccurate guidance value calculations.

Different guidance values apply to residential sites, apartments, commercial properties, and agricultural land. Choosing the wrong property type can significantly change the estimated value.
5. Not Including Amenities or Parking Details
For apartment properties, amenities and parking details may affect the calculated guidance value. Make sure all applicable details are entered correctly.

The value shown on the Kaveri portal is only an estimated guidance value based on the entered information. The final value will be determined after verification and approval by the Sub-Registrar Office during document registration.
