How To Pay BBMP Property Tax? In 7 Simple Steps!

What is BBMP Property Tax?

Bangalore property tax is a way for the state to collect revenue from property owners in order to build infrastructure and living conditions.

All “real” or tangible properties, including industrial, residential, and leased out the land, are subject to a property tax in every state.

Property owners must pay their allotted BBMP Property tax by the due date each year. Failure to pay this tax results in penalty charges equal to the amount due, as well as, in some extreme cases, imprisonment.

To avoid such a situation, let’s learn about BBMP tax calculation.

How Is BBMP Property Tax Calculated?

In India, different calculation patterns exist, and the Unit Area Value (UAV) system is used by Bangalore Municipality.

The tax amount is measured by the approximate return from a concerned property, which is also dependent on the property’s location and intended use.

The formula for calculating the BBMP tax payment number is shown below. To make the process go faster, use a BBMP tax calculator.

Property Tax (K) = (G-I)*20% + Applicable Cess (Property’s 24%).

Here, G=Gross Unit Area Value= (A+B+C)

I= G*D/100

A= let out area of property x Property’s per square ft. rate x 10 months.

B= Self-occupied area of property x Property’s per square ft. rate x 10 months.

C= Parking area of property x Property’s per square ft. rate x  10 months

 To simplify this process, follow the steps below.

• Know the property’s essential details like type, depreciation, value per unit, etc.
• Multiply values of unit area and built-up area and then multiply it by 10.
• Subtract depreciation from this value to derive annual property value.
• Find 20% of the annual value to estimate yearly tax.
• Calculate 24 percent of the annual property tax to get Cess.
• Add Cess and property tax to arrive at total BBMP tax payable.
• To make this estimate easier and more precise, use the BBMP property tax calculator.
