Indore Property Tax: Rates, Rebates & Online Payment
How Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) assesses residential property tax, what you owe, the rebates worth grabbing, and how to pay online.
How Indore calculates property tax
Tax = plinth area × monthly rental value × 12 × the 17-30% slab, minus depreciation, plus 8% library cess. MRV is set zone-wise per sq ft.
Residential rates: Effective residential rates run roughly ₹1.50/sq ft (peripheral) to ₹4/sq ft (central zone) per year, varying by zone, construction, age, and usage — the exact table isn't published in verified form.
Rebates & due dates
6.5% rebate for advance/lump-sum payment (one source says 6.25%); pay-by date 30 June (sometimes extended). Periodic Lok Adalat windows waive 25-100% of surcharges.
Late-payment penalty
Under amended Section 136, delays of a year or more attract a surcharge of 1.5-2× the outstanding tax.
Exemptions
Standard MP exemptions — government, religious, and charitable properties.
Recent change: Auto-debit and SMS alerts announced; Lok Adalat waiver windows ran through 2024-25.
Pay online
Pay directly on the official IMCportal — you'll need your property identification number (printed on any previous receipt or demand notice).
