Nagpur property tax is paid to the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), online through the NMC website nmcnagpur.gov.in (which opens the GeoCivic citizen tax portal), on the My Nagpur app, or at a zone office. You search your property by UPIN or index number, owner name or house number, and pay by UPI, card or net banking. NMC works out the tax on the Annual Letting Value (ALV) of your property, and it gives a rebate to owners who pay early.

How to pay Nagpur property tax online

Open nmcnagpur.gov.in and click Property Tax under Services. It takes you to the NMC GeoCivic citizen tax portal.
Choose the option to pay tax and generate a receipt.
Search your property with the UPIN or index number, or with the owner name and house number.
Open your property record and check the owner name, address and the amount due, including arrears.
Select Pay Tax. Choose full payment if you want the rebate, as the rebate applies only when the full demand is paid.
Pay by UPI, debit or credit card, or net banking.
Download and save the receipt. Check later that the balance shows as paid.

You can also pay through the My Nagpur mobile app or the NMC WhatsApp chatbot, or in cash, cheque or card at the tax counter of your zone office. If money is deducted but no receipt appears, do not pay again. Contact your zone office with the transaction ID.

How NMC calculates property tax

NMC’s Property Tax Department explains the method in its published tax rates note. In short:

Annual rent: NMC fixes an expected rent per sq m per month for each area, based on the ready reckoner rate for open plots there. It is adjusted for use (residential, commercial or industrial), type of construction, age of the building and whether it is owned or rented.
Annual Letting Value: 20% is deducted from the annual rent to get the ALV.
Tax: each tax head is charged as a percentage of the ALV and added up.

The use factor is 1 for residential, 2.5 for commercial and 2 for industrial property, so a shop pays much more than a flat of the same size.

Tax head	Rate (% of ALV)
General tax	14% to 30%, rising with ALV slabs
Water tax	10% to 15%, rising with ALV slabs
Sewerage tax	12%
Sewerage benefit, water benefit, fire, street, education and tree tax	1% each
Special conservancy tax (hotels, halls, hospitals and similar)	7% or 10%
State education tax	2%–6% residential; 4%–12% non-residential
Employment guarantee cess (non-residential)	1%–3%

NMC also publishes a self-assessment calculator (an Excel file) on its website. You can use it to estimate your tax before you apply for a new assessment or question a bill.

Rebates, due dates and penalties

Bills: tax is billed for each half of the year. As reported in April 2026, the first half is due within 90 days of the bill and the second half before 31 December.
2026–27 rebate: as reported, owners who paid in full by 31 July 2026 got 15% off online and 10% off at NMC counters. Payments from 1 August to 31 December 2026 get 5% off.
Green concession: homes with rooftop solar or rainwater harvesting can get an extra concession under NMC’s green policy.
Penalty: unpaid tax attracts 2% per month after the due date. A warrant fee can also be added once recovery action starts.
Recovery: NMC ran a 40-day recovery drive from 20 August to 30 September 2026 and can attach property or seize goods of large defaulters.

Rebate windows change each year, so check the current offer on the NMC website or at your zone office before you pay.

Download receipt and check dues

Receipt: it is generated after each online payment. Save the PDF and keep it with your property papers.
Dues: search your property on the portal to see the current demand and arrears.
UPIN: it is printed on your old bill or receipt. If you do not have it, search by owner name and house number.
Advance tax: the portal lets you pay tax in advance if you choose to.

New assessment, name change and mutation

A new house or flat must be added to the NMC tax register. After you buy, inherit or receive a property as a gift, the tax record must also move to your name. The NMC portal has a new assessment and mutation request form that asks for the house number, khasra number, mouza, plot number and ward. You can also apply at your zone office. Keep these ready:

Registered sale deed, gift deed, will or succession papers
ID proof of the new owner
Latest paid tax receipt for the property
Building plan sanction or occupancy certificate for a new building, where asked

Clear all dues first, pay the fee shown and keep the acknowledgement. See our guide on property mutation.

Before you buy property in Nagpur

Ask the seller for the latest paid tax receipt and check arrears and penalty on the portal.
Match the owner name, address and area on the tax record with the sale deed.
Check whether the use (residential or commercial) is recorded correctly, since it changes the tax.
Apply for mutation soon after registration so future bills come in your name.
