 What Is MCD Property Tax and Why It Matters

• Park upkeep and public sanitation 
• Local infrastructure and amenities

How Property Tax Is Calculated in Delhi

 

MCD uses the Unit Area System (UAS) to calculate property tax. Under this method, tax is based on:

The category of your colony (A to H).

• The unit area value (UAV) of the property. 
• The covered area (in sq. meters). 
• The usage type (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.). 
• Age and occupancy of the property (owner-occupied or rented).

 

MCD Property Tax Calculation Formula

 

Property Tax = Unit Area Value×Area (sq.m) × Usage Factor×Age Factor×Occupancy Factor×Tax Rate

F	Economical	Dwarka, Shalimar Bagh	230

• Usage Factor = 1 (residential)
