How is property tax calculated on my house in Srinagar?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Property tax in Srinagar is levied by the municipality under the Jammu and Kashmir Rent Control Act 1966 using the annual ratable value system. The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has held that the assessment must be based on reasonable comparable data.

You pay the tax half-yearly or yearly. Rebates are given for self-occupied houses and early payment.

Unpaid tax attracts interest and a charge on the property. You can appeal the assessment to the standing committee.
