House tax assessment register: updated format and rates
The revised register format for property tax assessment in gram panchayats, with a worked example.
The revised register format for property tax assessment adds separate columns for the built-up area, the usage category (residential, commercial, or mixed), and the applicable rate per square foot, replacing the single combined column in the older format.
A worked example is included showing how to calculate the annual assessment for a mixed-use property with both a residential first floor and a shop on the ground floor.
Gram panchayats already using the older register should migrate existing entries to the new format at the start of the next assessment year rather than mid-year.
What it means for your office
Check this against any case you already have in progress, and update your own records or register entries to match before the next inspection or Gram Sabha.
