How is Property Tax Calculated in New Delhi?

The calculation method used to determine the NDMC property tax in New Delhi is the Unit Area System. This system is used to calculate the annual value of the property, which is then used to determine the final tax amount. The formula for the same is:

Property tax = Annual value of the property x tax rate

Where, 

• Annual Value is the sum for which the property can reasonably be let out from one year to another. The formula for determining annual value is as follows:
  Annual Value = Unit Area of property × Unit Area Value × Age Factor × Structure Factor × Usage Factor × Occupancy Factor
  • Tax Rate is the interest rate levied on the property in a specific jurisdiction. The locations and properties have been divided into eight groups, from A-H. The more premium a property, the higher the tax levied.
    Given below are the components that affect the elements of the formula mentioned above:

    Factor	Impact
    Type of Use	Commercial properties are taxed more heavily than residential properties.
    Occupancy Type	Leased real estate attracts a higher property tax than owner-occupied properties.
    Age of Property	Because of a low depreciation rate, newer properties attract a higher tax rate.
    Building Type	RCC (pucca) buildings vs. kutcha construction
    Plinth Area	The more the plinth area of a property, the higher the amount of property tax levied.
    Area / Zone	Posh localities attract more property tax.
