  • Owner name as it appears in municipal records.
  • Built-up area, use and occupancy, if you file a self-assessment return.

How to pay property tax online: common steps

  1. Open the official portal of your municipal corporation. Avoid look-alike sites.
  2. Search your property by its ID, or log in with your registered mobile number and OTP.
  3. Check the owner name, address and the tax demand for the year, including any arrears.
  4. Correct wrong details through the portal before paying, if the city allows it.
  5. Choose the payment mode and complete the payment.
  6. Download and save the receipt. Check that the portal shows the payment against your property.

Delhi: MCD property tax

  1. Go to mcdonline.nic.in/ptrmcd. New taxpayers sign up first; individuals log in with mobile number and OTP.
  2. Use Know Your UPIC if you do not have your Unique Property Identification Code.
  3. First-time taxpayers search the property in the old records after logging in and link it.
  4. File the property tax return, check the calculation for the year and pay online.
  5. Download the receipt. You can also generate a Tax Due Certificate on the portal.

The portal states a 10% rebate for paying the full year’s tax before 30 June. For 2026-27, MCD extended this to 31 July 2026. The portal also lists a 2% online payment rebate for residential property with tax up to ₹10,000. NRIs can no longer log in with an international mobile number and must use an Indian number or email.

Bengaluru property tax

  1. Open bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in.
  2. Enter your 10-digit application number or PID and three letters of the owner’s name.
  3. Check the demand, pay online and download the receipt from Receipt Print.

The portal now serves the five Bengaluru city corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority. Its dates for 2026-27: rebate from 1 to 30 April 2026, interest on the first half from 1 June 2026, penalty from 29 November 2026 and interest on the second half from 1 December 2026. You can update your mobile number under Update Mobile No.

Hyderabad: GHMC property tax

Pay under Property Tax Payment on onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in by entering your PTIN, then print the receipt from Print Receipts. The Early Bird Scheme gave a 5% rebate for 2026-27 tax paid between 1 and 30 April 2026. It did not apply to arrears.

GHMC property tax mobile number update

  1. Open PTIN Mobile Number Updation on onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in.
  2. Select your circle and enter your PTIN or current mobile number.
  3. Say whether you have an existing mobile number, then search.
  4. Enter the new mobile number and email ID and click Get OTP.
  5. Enter the OTP to finish.

GHMC does not state on this page how long the change takes to show, so check your property record before your next payment.

Chennai property tax

Search by your existing or new bill number on the Greater Chennai Corporation’s Property Tax Online Payment page and confirm the bill number before paying. Tax is due each half year. Under Rule 268 of the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Rules, 2023, you get a 5% incentive, up to ₹5,000, for paying in April or October. Payments after the half year ends carry 1% simple interest a month. GCC also accepts transfers to an account numbered with your 13-digit property ID.
