Residents of the New Delhi Municipal Council area will soon under a uniform property tax regime as the civic body has finalised and approved the required bye-laws and completed technical preparations to implement a new assessment system, officials said on Thursday.

According to officials, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has updated its online property tax platform and carried out testing in coordination with the National Informatics Centre, paving the way for the rollout of amendments that replace the decades-old rateable value-based assessment method.

Officials said a Municipal Valuation Committee will be constituted shortly, after which the amended framework is expected to be brought into force in the coming weeks.

The change follows amendments to the NDMC Act, 1994, by The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026, under which property tax assessment in the NDMC area will be based entirely on the Unit Area Method (UAM), bringing all properties under a single taxation system.

According to the new amendment, The Jan Vishwas Bill, 2026, calls for forming a Municipal Valuation Committee to recommend the base value for vacant lands and buildings, and the manner of determining and revising property tax.
