Haryana’s New Property Tax Policy to Take Effect on November 1
Haryana will introduce a revised property tax system across municipal corporation areas from November 1, with taxes linked to property value, usage and category, alongside specified exemptions and concessions.
- Property owners can pay taxes under the existing policy until October 31.
- The revised system will calculate tax using capital value, applicable rates and usage-based factors.
- Eligible institutions and certain property owners may qualify for exemptions or concessions.
The Haryana government’s revised property tax policy will come into effect on November 1, 2026, across municipal corporation areas in the state. According to a notification issued by the Department of Urban Local Bodies, property owners and occupants can continue paying property tax under the existing system until October 31. The change is intended to revise how municipal property taxes are assessed and calculated.
Under the new framework, property tax will be determined using a property’s capital value, the applicable tax rate and a multiplication factor based on its usage. Separate assessment provisions will apply to residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and other categories, meaning the calculation will depend on the property’s characteristics and purpose.
Rohtak Municipal Corporation Commissioner Satyendra Duhan said the revised policy aims to make property tax assessment more transparent, consistent and equitable. He explained that Rohtak falls under the A-2 category of municipal corporations, for which the notified base annual property tax rates are 0.029% for residential properties and 0.09% for non-residential properties.
The final tax calculation will follow the provisions of the government notification, including the applicable property valuation and usage-based factors. Therefore, property owners should check their individual property records and estimated tax liability rather than assuming that the base rate alone represents the amount payable.
The revised framework includes exemptions for specified categories of properties and institutions. According to the commissioner, eligible religious institutions, government hospitals, government educational institutions, gaushalas and land used for agricultural purposes will receive exemptions in accordance with the notified rules.
The policy also provides for concessions for certain residential properties owned by women, persons with disabilities, taxpayers who pay their dues on time and group housing societies that implement zero-waste management systems. These benefits are subject to the applicable eligibility conditions and provisions of the notification.
The revised assessment system could change the property tax payable by individual owners, depending on factors such as property value, category and use. The separate treatment of residential and non-residential properties may also affect how businesses, housing societies and institutional property owners calculate their municipal tax liabilities.
For residents, the immediate priority is to verify that their property details are accurate and up to date. Incorrect records or missing information could affect the assessment displayed on the municipal portal. Owners should also check whether they qualify for any exemption or concession before making their payment.
Rohtak Municipal Corporation Commissioner Satyendra Duhan said that most relevant property data had been updated on the municipal corporation’s portal, with the remaining work expected to be completed soon. Property owners can use the Property Tax Dues Payment and No-Dues Certificate Management System portal to check their estimated liability under the revised policy.
Residents should review their property records, verify outstanding dues and complete any necessary corrections. Those planning to pay under the existing policy should do so by October 31, 2026, subject to the applicable rules. From November 1, the new assessment framework will apply across municipal corporation areas covered by the notification.
Property owners should consult the official notification or their respective municipal corporation for the final applicable rates, valuation details and eligibility requirements before making payment.
