What is the basis of the calculation of Meerut Property Tax?
Since most of the properties in the Meerut Cantt are used for residential purposes, they are assessed under section 73(b) of the Cantonments Act, 2006. As most of these properties are self-occupied, the ARV was fixed on a notional rent basis. Thereafter, upon every revision, nominal increases were made in the ARV in case there were no additions and alterations in the property. Properties used for commercial and other non-residential purposes are assessed on the merits of each case following the provisions of Section 73 of the Cantonments Act, 2006. The last revision was carried out in 2020-21. The overall increase was 13%. For residential purposes, the increase was 7-10% and for non-residential/commercial properties the increase was 15%.
