Understanding Municipal Property Tax Calculations in India

Property tax is an annual or semi-annual direct tax levied by local municipal authorities (e.g. GHMC, BBMP, MCD) on property owners. The tax funds local public infrastructure, sanitation, and street services.

Property Tax Valuation Equation
Annual Tax = Plinth Area (sqft) * Monthly Unit Area Value/sqft * 12 months * Tax Bracket% * Age & Use Factors

Where:

  • Plinth Area is the total built-up area of the flat or house
  • Monthly Unit Area Value is the government-notified rental unit rate per sqft for the zone
  • Tax Bracket is the tax percentage assigned to residential (approx 12%) or commercial spaces (approx 20%)
  • Age and Use factors adjust for structure depreciation discounts

How to Calculate & Use this Tool:

1

2

3
