Jan Vishwas Bill: New Property Tax Framework Proposed for NDMC Areas

• The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026, proposes a new property tax framework for New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) areas.
• The bill overhauls the tax structure under the NDMC Act, 1994, introducing building tax and vacant land tax components.
• A Municipal Valuation Committee will be established every three years to classify properties, fix base values, and recommend tax revisions.
• The legislation introduces a mandatory Property Identification Code for each property, essential for tax payments and civic services.
• Service charges on Union government properties in NDMC areas may be levied at 75% of the applicable property tax, addressing a long-standing issue.
