One corporation again: what changed in 2025–26
Jaipur had one municipal corporation with 91 wards until 2019, when the then state government split it into Jaipur Greater and Jaipur Heritage, with 250 wards in all. When the terms of both boards ended in November 2025, the state merged them back into one Jaipur Municipal Corporation with 150 wards. Jodhpur and Kota corporations were merged in the same way. The government said a single body would cut administrative costs and make city schemes easier to run.
From the merger until the new board took charge, Jaipur’s Divisional Commissioner served as administrator. Elections to all 150 wards were held on 11 September 2026. Results announced on 14 September gave the BJP 78 wards, the Congress 57 and independents 15. Sunil Kothari of the BJP was elected mayor on 25 September 2026.
What it means for owners: documents such as leases, certificates and licences now carry the name Jaipur Municipal Corporation. If your old bill says Greater or Heritage, your tax account continues, but your ward number may have changed after the new delimitation. Check your current ward and dues on the portal before paying.

UD tax is the urban development tax charged under the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009. According to the state’s Local Self Government department, as reported in January 2025, it applies to:
- Residential property or land of more than 300 sq yd.
- Commercial, institutional and industrial units of more than 900 sq ft.
Smaller residential plots are outside UD tax. Some uses, such as places of worship and educational buildings used only for teaching, are commonly reported as exempt; claim any exemption through self-assessment with documents.
How it is worked out: the tax is linked to the area of the property and the DLC rate in Jaipur, the government rate used for registration. Guides commonly give the formula as area in sq yd × DLC rate ÷ 2,000 for residential plots, with different rules for commercial use. The portal’s self-assessment form works out the exact figure from your ward, road, plot area and use, so rely on that rather than a rough estimate. You can check the DLC rate on e-Panjiyan Rajasthan.
| Example (residential, using the common formula) | Figure |
|---|---|
| Plot area | 400 sq yd |
| Assumed DLC rate (for illustration only) | ₹30,000 per sq yd |
| 400 × 30,000 ÷ 2,000 | ₹6,000 a year |
How to pay UD tax online
- Open jaipurmc.org and go to the online tax payment option under citizen services. It leads to the UD tax portal.
- Choose Pay UD Tax and select Jaipur as the urban local body.
- Enter your service number (property ID) from the old bill or receipt, or use Search Property by owner name and address.
- Check the owner name, area and the dues shown, including any interest.
- Pay by UPI, debit card, credit card or net banking.
- Download and save the receipt. Use View Payment Details later to reprint it.
Bills from the former Greater corporation carry a UPI QR code that you can scan to pay. If you cannot pay online, call the toll-free number 1800-572-8545 for help or a doorstep collection request, or visit your zone office with your service number and last receipt.
New owners: if your property has no service number, file a self-assessment on the portal with your ownership papers. After buying, apply to the corporation to bring the tax record into your name. See property mutation.
Due dates, interest and rebate offers
UD tax is assessed for each financial year. Interest is charged on dues left unpaid after the year ends. The state often announces limited-time offers, such as interest waivers for lump-sum payment of old dues before 31 March, and early payment rebates. These change from year to year, so check the current notice on jaipurmc.org or call the helpline before you pay. In 2026 the corporation also sealed some commercial properties over long-pending UD tax, so do not let dues build up.
Before you buy property in Jaipur
- Ask the seller for the latest UD tax receipt and check for arrears on the portal.
- Match the owner name, plot area and use on the tax record with the sale deed.
- Check whether the colony is under JMC or JDA, and whether its lease (patta) is in order.
- Work out the stamp duty from the DLC rate. See stamp duty in Rajasthan.
- For a new project, check its registration with RERA Rajasthan.
