Who Pays Property Tax in Delhi?

If you own a house, apartment, or any other type of building in Delhi, you're responsible for paying property tax.

How Much Property Tax Do I Pay?

The amount of property tax you pay depends on two main factors:

Rateable Value (RV): This is a government-determined estimate of your property's annual rental income.

Tax Rate: This is a percentage of the rateable value set by the government.

Delhi Property Tax Rates

The tax rate depends on the type of property you own and its location. Here's a general idea (refer to official sources for actual rates):

Residential: Rates vary based on property value, typically ranging from 15% to 30% of the Rateable Value.

Non-residential: Rates are generally higher than residential, often between 20% and 30% of the Rateable Value.

How to Calculate Your Property Tax?

There is a formula to calculate your property tax, but it can involve many factors. An easy way to understand it is:

Property Tax = Rateable Value X Tax Rate

For example, if your property's Rateable Value is Rs. 10 lakh and the tax rate is 20%, your annual property tax would be:

Rs. 10 lakh X 20/100 = Rs. 2 lakh

Finding Your Rateable Value and Tax Rate

There are two main authorities responsible for property tax in Delhi:

1. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD): Covers most areas of Delhi.

2. New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC): Manages properties in New Delhi.
