Guide on How to pay MCG (Gurgaon) Property Tax

MCG Property Tax Calculation

The MCG introduced a user-friendly system in 2013 to facilitate the calculation of property tax, making the payment process seamless for residents. The calculation of MCG property tax takes into account the specific rates applicable to different types of properties.

It is important to mention that cities like Faridabad and Gurugram are categorized as Type A1 cities, and the tax rates for similar properties in these cities are the same.

However, it is worth noting that self-use residential properties of medium and small sizes have lower tax rates compared to commercial or large properties.

Property Tax on Residential Property

Houses

Note: The stated rates are specifically for residences situated on the ground floor. In cases where the floors of a building are individually owned by different individuals, the aforementioned rates will be applied uniformly to all floors. Conversely, if the entire building is owned by a single individual, a discount based on the specific floor will be applicable. A reduction of 40% will be provided for the first floor, while a 50% reduction will be granted for the second floor.

Flats

Residential Vacant Land

Property Tax on Commercial Property

Shops

Note: The rates provided above are specifically for shops situated on the ground floor. In the event of a multi-story building owned by a single entity, there will be a property tax rebate of 40% for the first floor and a 50% rebate for the second floor, calculated with respect to the rates applicable to the ground floor.

Additionally, if the shop or a portion thereof is rented or leased out, the property tax applicable to the rented area will be 1.25 times the aforementioned rates.
