Property tax is a charge that a home buyer has to pay every year. The amount of the tax to be paid may vary according to locations. Here we will provide you with a guide to pay the property tax in NCR:

Owners have to pay the taxes to the government, which finally goes to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Apart from the location, the rate of the property tax also depends on the area of the plot which is measured in square meters

Ways to calculate the property tax of residential property:

The municipal corporation uses a system known as the “unit area system” for the entire city. The calculation according to the system is done as follows:

Property tax= rate of tax x annual value
Annual value= age factor x unit area of the property x unit area value sq meter x occupancy factor x structure factor x use factor
The rate of tax= MCD publishes the rate of tax every year. The tax rate changes every day.

Unit area value-This refers to as the built-up area of the property. It also varies in different categories.
Unit area of the property- The built-up area excluding the carpet is considered for this. This is the area which is meant for the computation.
Age factor-The age refers to the time period since which the property has been built. This determines if the property is a new property or an old property. The value is between 0.5-1.0.
Use factor-The residential and the non-residential build-ups have different tax rates.
Structure-The constructions under the RCC are taxed higher than the constructions under the lower value.
Occupancy-The rented properties are taxed higher than the property that is owned by the legal owners.

There are certain rebates that are available on the property tax given by the MCD. These are:

1)If you wish to the tax in single instalment then you can receive a rebate of 15% on your total amount of tax.
