No. It is your own figure divided by your own area. For actual asking prices, look at the published listings on the marketplace.

What are registration charges for farmland near Hosur in Tamil Nadu?

Tamil Nadu generally charges 7% stamp duty and a 2% registration fee on the higher of the sale value and the guideline value.
