GARV Formula — How GHMC Calculates Your Tax
GHMC uses Gross Annual Rental Value (GARV) system:
Property Tax = GARV × Applicable Slab Rate
- 10% Depreciation
+ 8% Library Cess
GARV Calculation:
GARV = Plinth Area (sq.ft) × MRV (Monthly Rental Value per sq.ft) × 12
MRV (Monthly Rental Value) — based on:
- Location / Zone
- Property type — residential/commercial
- Construction type — RCC/load bearing
- Age of building
Tax Slabs:
| GARV per annum | Residential Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹600 | Exempt |
| ₹601 – ₹1,200 | 17% |
| ₹1,201 – ₹2,400 | 19% |
| ₹2,401 – ₹3,600 | 22% |
| Above ₹3,600 | 30% |
Commercial properties: 30% of GARV (all slabs)
