UP Govt Announces Revised Rental Values for Ghaziabad, Property Tax to Rise 10-12%

Ghaziabad, April 13: Mayor Sunita Dayal and civic officials claimed that the revised rates will effect an increase of about 10-12 per cent in property tax levied on properties.

Background

The corporation last increased rental values in 2024 (effective April 1, 2024), which led to:

  • Protests from residents, traders, RWAs, and other associations (claimed tax burden increased three to five times)

  • Protests from councillors at the headquarters in July 2025

  • Three former councillors moved the Allahabad High Court

High Court Ruling

On February 25, 2026, the court dismissed the petition, stating that the exercise was "found to be fully in consonance with the statutory provisions requiring no interference by this court."

Revised Rental Values (for properties with RCC/concrete roofs on roads ≥24m wide)

Category       Previous Rate (Apr 2024)    Revised Rate Reduction
A ₹4.00 per sq ft ₹3.40 per sq ft ₹0.60
B ₹3.50 per sq ft ₹2.98 per sq ft ₹0.52
C ₹3.00 per sq ft ₹2.55 per sq ft ₹0.45

Key Announcements

Mayor Sunita Dayal said:

  • About 2 lakh properties did not pay the hiked tax in 2025 (total taxable properties: ~7.72 lakh)

  • The government provided relief after taking cognisance

  • Those who deposited higher tax amounts during the past two years will have their amount adjusted in the future

Municipal Commissioner Vikramaditya Malik said:

  • The tax increase is 10-12% on average (with rebates)

  • Maximum increase for those not availing rebates is about 20%

  • Property owners who did not deposit tax for the last year will get three months (April 15 to July 15) to pay without penalty or interest

Former Councillor's View

Himansu Mittal, former councillor from Kavi Nagar and one of the three petitioners in the High Court case, said: "To ascertain the exact tax benefit to residents, the corporation officials must calculate the revised rates along with different rebates and inform residents about the final tax payable in detail."
