The North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) was formed after the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was trifurcated in 2012. On May 22, 2022, the NDMC, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) were reunified. The NDMC occupies around 43% of the total Delhi area, about 605 sq kilometres. Besides developing civic amenities and providing services, the municipal body is responsible for levying property tax. Property owners in North Delhi can pay the NDMC property tax online through the official website of the municipal authority.
The NDMC is divided into six zones and 104 wards. They are classified into colonies. Delhi is also classified into eight categories, from A to H, depending on the property values in the colonies in each category.
The North Delhi Municipal Corporation property tax applies to the owners of residential, commercial and industrial properties. However, the tax rates vary based on the category. One must pay the property tax for a self-occupied property, let or sublet property and co-owned property. The NDMC property tax can be paid both offline and online.

North Delhi Municipal Corporation property tax calculation
The NDMC applies the ‘Unit Area System’ for property tax calculation and uses the following formula:
Property tax = Annual value x Rate of tax
where,
Annual value = Unit area value per sq metre x Unit area of property x Age factor x Use factor x Structure factor x Occupancy factor
The property tax calculation for vacant land is based on the following formula:
Annual value = Unit area value per square metre x Use factor x Vacant land area x Occupancy factor x 0.3
For example, let us consider a self-occupied residential property (pucca construction type) in North Delhi’s Rohini area with a unit area of 300 sq metres built in 2008. The property tax will be calculated as follows:
Unit area = 300 sq metres
Unit area value in Rohini = Rs 270 per sq metre (Category E)
Use factor = 1 (residential property)
Age factor = 1 for properties constructed from 2000 onwards
Structure factor = 1 (pucca construction type)
Occupancy factor = 1 (self-occupied)
Based on the formula, property tax is calculated as:
Annual value = 300 x 270 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 81,000
The applicable rate of house tax for Category E is 11%
Property tax = Annual value x Rate of tax = 81,000 x 11% = 8,910
