Property Taxes in India

Data Source: Mathur, Om Prakash; Thakur, Debdulal & Rajadhyaksha, Nilesh; "Urban Property Tax Potential in India"; National institute of Public Finance & Policy; July 2009

A team of researchers at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, New Delhi with support from Professor Roy Bahl (Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University, Atlanta) conducted a study using the data of 36 large municipal corporations to estimate the potential of property taxes and suggest how that potential might be realized. The study provides an incisive commentary on how the property taxation works in various parts of India. In addition, the report also provides useful data, analysis and information related to property taxation. In particular, analysis of productivity and performance of property taxes have been discussed. In the end, the study suggests policy strategies on how to tap the untapped property taxation potentials.
At realism.IN, we provide some basic graphs derived from the data published in the report.
