Kanpur Property Tax: Rates, Rebates & Online Payment
How Kanpur Municipal Corporation (KMC) / Kanpur Nagar Nigam assesses residential property tax, what you owe, the rebates worth grabbing, and how to pay online.
How Kanpur calculates property tax
House tax = ARV x tax rate, where ARV = built-up area x zonal base rate x multiplying factors for location, age, construction type and usage; ARV rates are revised periodically per rental capacity of the area. Note: portal — UP state-wide Nagar Sewa portal; KMC's own site kmc.up.nic.in redirects payments here.
Residential rates: Reported as 10% of ARV for properties with ARV up to ₹1,200 and 15% of ARV above that; service taxes (water/sewerage) are billed alongside per UP municipal rules.
Rebates & due dates
10% rebate for senior citizens (60+) and physically challenged owners on application with proof; 5% rebate for 3 years for rainwater-harvesting installations; early/lump-sum online payment rebates are announced year to year.
Late-payment penalty
Dues fall on March 31 each year; unpaid amounts attract a penalty reported at 10% per annum on the outstanding, levied monthly.
Exemptions
Charitable/religious institutions, public-work and educational buildings, and graveyards get exemptions or special rebates; small owner-occupied dwellings get concessional ARV treatment.
Recent change: KMC has pushed fully digital payment (PID/CHK-number search, cards/net-banking/UPI) via the state Nagar Sewa system.
Pay online
Pay directly on the official KMCportal — you'll need your property identification number (printed on any previous receipt or demand notice).
