GHMC Property Tax 2026: Payment, Rebate & Penalty
GHMC Property Tax 2026–27: How to Pay Online, Check the Rebate, Calculate Your Bill and Avoid Late-Payment Interest
Hyderabad | October 20, 2026
A homeowner in Hyderabad receives a property-tax reminder and notices that the demand is higher than expected.
The property has not been sold. The building has not been extended. The owner believes last year's tax was paid.
So why has the amount increased?
It could be an unpaid earlier instalment, interest on arrears, a difference in the recorded building details or a previously missed payment that has not been reflected correctly.
Another possibility is that the homeowner expected the 5% early-payment rebate even though the applicable April deadline had already passed.
Understanding the tax demand is therefore just as important as knowing how to pay it.
For financial year 2026–27, GHMC property-tax services are available through the Telangana government's Core Urban Region Economy, or CURE, online payment portal.
Property owners can identify their assessment using their PTIN or registered mobile number, review the demand and proceed with the available payment options.
There are also statutory payment deadlines.
In 2026, GHMC offered a 5% Early Bird rebate for eligible current-year property tax paid by April 30. The rebate period has ended.
Late payment can attract simple interest at 2% per month under the applicable GHMC Act provisions.
This guide explains the payment process, important dates, assessment calculations, receipt downloads and the action to take if your bill is incorrect or overdue.
It also clarifies why a property-tax receipt is important but is not the same thing as a registered ownership deed or a building-permission certificate.
1. What is GHMC property tax?
Property tax is a recurring municipal levy on qualifying buildings and properties within the jurisdiction of the relevant urban local authority.
For properties assessed under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation system, the tax is administered according to the applicable GHMC legal framework and assessment procedures.
Municipal property-tax revenue helps support public services and civic functions.
These can include municipal infrastructure, sanitation, drainage, roads and other responsibilities of the local government.
The tax is not the same as the stamp duty paid when a property is purchased.
Stamp duty and registration charges arise in connection with relevant legal instruments and property transactions.
Property tax is a recurring municipal liability.
Nor is it the same as an apartment's monthly maintenance charge.
A housing association may collect maintenance for lifts, security, common lighting and other shared services, while the municipal property-tax assessment is a separate obligation.
Homeowners should understand all these costs when planning an annual housing budget.
2. Who should pay GHMC property tax?
Owners of assessed residential and non-residential properties generally need to ensure that the relevant property-tax demands are addressed.
This can include independent houses, apartments, shops and other taxable buildings.
The liability and assessment arrangements depend on the applicable law, property details and circumstances.
In a multi-storey apartment building, individual flats may have separate property-tax assessment identifiers.
Buyers should check the specific assessment rather than assume that payment of apartment maintenance covers municipal property tax.
Where a property is jointly owned or leased, the legal responsibility and any contractual arrangement between the parties should be examined separately.
A landlord may have a contractual agreement with a tenant about reimbursements, but that does not necessarily alter the municipal authority's statutory rights.
If the property was recently purchased, the new owner should verify that the assessment records and outstanding dues are accurate.
3. Which official portal should homeowners use in 2026?
The official GHMC website provides links to its property-tax services.
The direct online payment page is:
https://onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in/PTax/
The service operates through the CURE government platform.
The visible payment form allows the user to enter a PTI number or registered mobile number to retrieve the property-tax record.
GHMC also provides municipal service information through:
The exact navigation labels and payment interfaces may change.
For that reason, begin from the official government website or the verified government payment domain.
Avoid unofficial websites that request unnecessary personal information, account passwords or advance payments to an individual agent.
You do not ordinarily need to share a bank password or OTP with a third party merely to retrieve a property-tax demand.
4. What is a PTIN?
PTIN stands for Property Tax Identification Number.
It is the identifier used to locate a property-tax assessment record.
GHMC's published property-tax FAQ describes a ten-digit PTIN structure with components associated with the relevant circle, revenue ward and serial number.
However, older records and different administrative systems may use identifiers with different formats.
The practical rule is to use the PTIN shown on your actual assessment notice or previous official receipt.
Do not change its digits merely to make it fit an assumed format.
Keep the PTIN in a secure household records folder.
It makes future payments easier and helps identify the relevant tax account when contacting municipal officials.
The PTIN should not be confused with a survey number, flat number, building-permission number or property registration document number.
These identifiers serve different purposes.
5. Step 1 — Collect your property information
Before opening the payment website, locate an earlier property-tax receipt or demand notice.
Check the PTIN.
Also note the recorded owner's name, property address and relevant municipal details.
If the property is jointly owned, confirm whose name appears on the assessment.
If you recently purchased the home, the previous owner's name may still appear until the relevant municipal mutation process is completed.
That situation should be investigated rather than ignored.
Keep the sale deed and ownership records available if a correction is required.
For a straightforward payment, you generally need the correct tax account details rather than uploading the entire registered sale deed every time.
6. Step 2 — Open the official property-tax payment page
Visit:
https://onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in/PTax/
The government's payment page displays a property-tax lookup form.
Enter the PTI/PTIN number or the registered mobile number, as permitted by the interface.
Submit the lookup.
Use a reliable internet connection and avoid completing a sensitive payment on an unfamiliar public device.
If the page fails to open, return through the official GHMC website rather than selecting a random sponsored-looking link.
The government portal may undergo maintenance or change its interface.
In such cases, use the current official navigation rather than relying on screenshots from an old tutorial.
7. Step 3 — Check the property record carefully
Once the correct assessment is retrieved, review the information displayed.
Pay particular attention to the property identity and the current demand.
The screen may show current-year tax, previous arrears, interest or other components depending on the assessment.
Check whether the property details correspond to your home.
If the portal retrieves a different property, do not proceed with payment.
Recheck the entered PTIN and seek correction if necessary.
Do not assume that paying the amount associated with any similar property address will discharge your own legal liability.
A payment receipt must be linked to the correct assessment.
8. Step 4 — Understand the amount being demanded
An outstanding amount can contain more than the current year's basic property tax.
It may include arrears from earlier assessment periods.
There may also be interest associated with late payment.
In some cases, corrections or adjustments can affect the amount payable.
The owner should look at the demand breakdown wherever the portal provides it.
For example, a displayed balance of ₹14,000 could comprise ₹10,000 of current tax, ₹3,000 of previous dues and ₹1,000 of interest.
That is a fictional illustration, not a claim about how any actual GHMC assessment is calculated.
The key point is to distinguish the current liability from amounts carried forward.
This is especially important when assessing eligibility for an early-payment rebate.
9. Step 5 — Pay through the authorised payment gateway
After confirming the property and demand, select the payment action offered by the official portal.
The system may provide supported digital payment methods through its authorised gateway.
Complete the transaction using the options actually displayed.
The available methods may change over time.
Do not assume that every bank, wallet or UPI application will be supported for every transaction.
When the payment is initiated, verify the merchant identity and amount.
Never share a payment OTP or online-banking password with a caller claiming to be a municipal official.
Wait for the transaction status.
Do not close the page immediately if the payment is still processing.
10. Step 6 — Save the transaction acknowledgement
After a successful payment, retain the acknowledgement and transaction reference.
Download or print the official receipt.
The government maintains a separate property-tax receipt service:
https://onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in/PTax/PT_Recipts_Main
The visible receipt form accepts a PTIN or registered mobile number.
The service states that online-paid transactions after April 1, 2016 can be downloaded through this facility.
A receipt is useful evidence of the payment recorded for that assessment.
Store the PDF in more than one safe place.
If the property is sold later, the buyer or legal adviser may ask for evidence that municipal property-tax dues were cleared.
11. What if the money is deducted but no receipt appears?
Online payment problems can occur.
The bank may debit the account while the municipal portal has not yet completed its status update.
Do not immediately repeat the transaction.
First, check the payment status using the official service.
Then check whether a receipt has become available.
Save the bank transaction reference, date, amount and screenshot of the relevant official status.
If the payment remains unresolved, raise a complaint through the appropriate government channel or payment provider.
Ask for written confirmation of any adjustment or refund.
Repeated payments can create reconciliation problems.
The safest approach is to verify the first transaction before attempting another payment.
12. GHMC property-tax due dates for 2026–27
Property tax is commonly handled through half-yearly periods.
Under the relevant GHMC Act provision, the statutory late-interest trigger refers to failure to pay property tax by the end of June for the first half-year and by the end of December for the second half-year.
For financial year 2026–27, the important dates are:
| Date | Meaning |
|---|---|
| April 1, 2026 | Financial year begins |
| April 30, 2026 | Last day of the 2026 Early Bird rebate offer |
| June 30, 2026 | First half-year deadline for avoiding statutory late interest |
| December 31, 2026 | Second half-year deadline for avoiding statutory late interest |
| March 31, 2027 | Financial year ends |
The 2026 Early Bird deadline and the first half-year deadline have already passed as of October 19, 2026.
The December deadline remains relevant for property owners with second-half-year liabilities.
If the official demand notice or an applicable later legal order provides case-specific instructions, verify those directly with the authority.
Do not rely on an unrelated municipality's tax calendar.
13. What is the 5% Early Bird rebate?
GHMC's Early Bird Scheme encourages owners to pay eligible current-year property tax early.
For financial year 2026–27, the municipal authorities announced a 5% rebate for qualifying full-year payments made by April 30, 2026.
The discount applied to the current financial year's eligible tax, not previous-year arrears.
Published instructions also required payment of the full annual amount and settlement of outstanding dues as applicable.
The rebate was a time-limited payment benefit.
It was not an automatic permanent reduction in the assessed annual rental value.
A homeowner who missed the April deadline cannot assume the same rebate remains available in October.
Any subsequent special extension would require a fresh official announcement.
14. Worked example: calculating the 5% rebate
Suppose the eligible current-year property tax is ₹12,000.
The rebate would be:
₹12,000 × 5% = ₹600.
The discounted current-year amount would be:
₹12,000 − ₹600 = ₹11,400.
Now assume the owner also owes ₹3,000 in older tax arrears.
The 5% Early Bird calculation is not automatically applied to that ₹3,000.
The applicable total depends on the scheme conditions and any additional interest.
This example illustrates how the discount works.
It does not determine eligibility for a particular property.
Because the 2026 scheme window has closed, the ₹600 discount should not be subtracted from a current October payment unless the official record independently authorises it.
15. What is the difference between the Early Bird rebate and an OTS scheme?
These are different kinds of relief.
The Early Bird Scheme encourages timely advance payment of eligible current-year property tax.
A One-Time Settlement, or OTS, programme may provide specified relief on accumulated interest for qualifying old dues.
GHMC's 2025–26 OTS programme offered a 90% waiver on qualifying accumulated interest if the required settlement was completed by March 31, 2026.
That programme was not a permanent waiver of all outstanding tax.
The principal tax still had to be addressed under the scheme.
Its announced deadline has passed.
A separate 2026–27 measure concerning specified government-property arrears should not be assumed to provide the same relief automatically to ordinary private homeowners.
A taxpayer with old dues should check for an expressly applicable and currently valid scheme before expecting an interest concession.
16. What happens if you miss the due date?
The GHMC Act provides for simple interest at 2% per month in cases where property tax remains unpaid beyond the applicable half-yearly deadline.
Simple interest means the calculation is based on the relevant overdue principal rather than automatically compounding interest upon interest each month.
However, the exact outstanding amount and interest period should be determined from the official demand.
For example, assume ₹10,000 of qualifying property tax is overdue.
At a simple monthly interest rate of 2%, one month's illustrative interest is:
₹10,000 × 2% = ₹200.
After three complete months under this simplified assumption:
₹10,000 × 2% × 3 = ₹600.
The illustrative total would be ₹10,600.
This arithmetic is not a substitute for the municipality's actual date-based demand calculation.
Official adjustments, part-payments or special orders can affect the amount.
17. Does the 2% penalty apply every month?
The relevant statutory provision uses a rate of 2% simple interest per month.
That should not be confused with a flat, one-time penalty of 2%.
If applicable overdue tax remains unpaid for several months, the interest burden can increase.
For illustration:
| Months of delay | Simple interest on ₹10,000 |
|---|---|
| 1 | ₹200 |
| 2 | ₹400 |
| 3 | ₹600 |
| 6 | ₹1,200 |
| 12 | ₹2,400 |
This table assumes a fixed ₹10,000 overdue principal and complete monthly periods.
It does not include additional years of tax, adjustments or disputed assessments.
In a real account, the municipal system should determine the relevant outstanding balance.
Owners should obtain a current statement rather than rely solely on a manually estimated penalty.
18. Can GHMC take recovery action for unpaid tax?
Long-standing non-payment can lead to more than additional interest.
The applicable municipal law contains mechanisms for recovery of tax dues.
Depending on the legal circumstances, notices and statutory recovery processes may be used.
The GHMC Act also includes provisions concerning further consequences after appropriate notice.
These powers should not be interpreted as meaning that a home is automatically seized or essential services are disconnected immediately after one missed online payment.
Legal procedures, notice and the governing statutory conditions matter.
Nevertheless, property owners should not treat property tax as optional.
Ignoring a valid tax demand for years can complicate later property transactions and create substantial arrears.
Where a demand is disputed, use the appropriate revision or appeal mechanism promptly rather than simply ignoring the notice.
19. How is GHMC property tax calculated?
GHMC uses an annual rental value-based assessment system.
The amount is not simply a fixed percentage of the property's current sale price.
The assessment framework considers factors such as location, construction type, usage, plinth area and building age.
For different building categories, notified monthly rental values and applicable tax calculations can vary.
GHMC's published assessment guidance explains the factors used to determine Annual Rental Value, or ARV.
For non-residential buildings, its official guidance describes a 30% levy on relevant annual rental value, along with the applicable assessment treatment.
The calculation may include age-related deductions and other relevant components.
Residential assessment follows its applicable notified schedules and provisions.
Therefore, a homeowner should not apply one universal formula to every house, shop and apartment.
The correct amount is the figure determined under the applicable assessment rules and reflected in the official property record.
20. What is Monthly Rental Value?
Monthly Rental Value, or MRV, is a concept used in GHMC's property-tax assessment.
For assessment purposes, the authority considers relevant rental-value information and notified rates for buildings within defined categories and localities.
The tax assessment can account for where the property is located, its construction type and its use.
The term does not necessarily mean the homeowner must actually rent out the house.
An owner-occupied home can still have an assessed rental value for municipal taxation purposes.
Likewise, the property-tax assessment is not necessarily based on the rent that a landlord happens to charge a particular tenant.
The municipality uses its applicable valuation methodology.
This distinction is important because owners sometimes assume that a vacant or self-occupied property has no property-tax liability.
That is not generally a valid assumption.
21. Residential and commercial property tax are different
A residential apartment and a commercial shop may have similar floor areas but different municipal tax assessments.
The nature of use matters.
A property assessed as residential should not be casually used for a different category without considering legal and tax consequences.
The assessed plinth area, construction classification and rental-value rate may also differ.
For this reason, a property-tax estimate should identify the correct usage category before attempting to calculate the amount.
A shop's rate cannot simply be copied to a residential flat.
Nor can the residential tax amount for one neighbourhood be used to predict the demand in another locality.
The official property-tax assessment is the correct starting point.
22. Worked assessment example: why the formula matters
Consider a fictional non-residential building with:
Plinth area: 1,000 square feet.
Illustrative monthly rental value: ₹5 per square foot.
The monthly rental value is:
1,000 × ₹5 = ₹5,000.
The gross annual rental value is:
₹5,000 × 12 = ₹60,000.
Thirty percent of that gross annual amount is ₹18,000.
However, this does not automatically mean the final legally payable tax is ₹18,000.
The official GHMC guidance contains treatment of building and land components, age-related deductions and other applicable details.
The final assessment must follow the full prescribed calculation.
The example illustrates the relationship among plinth area, notified monthly rental value and annual rental value.
It must not be used as a substitute for a formal GHMC bill.
23. Does building age affect property tax?
The official GHMC assessment guidance identifies building age as one of the factors relevant to property-tax calculations.
Its non-residential example includes age-related deductions from the building component of annual rental value.
This helps explain why two buildings with identical floor areas may not have the same tax.
The relevant age, construction category and valuation rules must be established.
Homeowners should not independently subtract an arbitrary depreciation percentage from the amount shown in the payment portal.
If the age or construction details in the official record are incorrect, seek the appropriate assessment correction.
A properly supported revision request is more reliable than paying a self-calculated amount that does not correspond to the municipal demand.
24. What if your new house has no PTIN?
A newly constructed building may need to be brought into the property-tax assessment system.
GHMC provides a self-assessment procedure.
Its published guidance says owners can apply online with relevant details such as the building permission number, occupancy-certificate information where applicable, locality, use and plinth area.
The application is routed for official processing and inspection under the relevant procedure.
A new PTIN can then be allotted through the assessment process.
Do not assume that completing building construction automatically generates a final property-tax record.
If you cannot find a PTIN, use the official self-assessment or assistance process.
Avoid paying money against a different property's assessment simply because the address appears similar.
25. What if the previous owner's name still appears?
Property-tax records do not necessarily update automatically immediately after registration of a sale deed.
A property buyer may need to complete the appropriate municipal mutation or ownership-record update process.
GHMC offers property-tax mutation and correction services through its official online service links.
The owner should retain the registered sale deed and related documentation needed for the application.
Municipal mutation is important for keeping tax records current.
However, a property-tax entry by itself does not conclusively establish legal title.
Title depends on the relevant legal documents, property history and applicable law.
A buyer should also check whether the property has older tax arrears.
Do not assume a name change erases a valid outstanding municipal liability.
26. What if the plinth area is wrong?
An incorrect plinth area can affect the assessment.
This issue can arise when the recorded building measurements differ from the physical property or when alterations have not been reflected properly.
If the official record shows an area you believe is incorrect, review the assessment notice and relevant building records.
Obtain suitable measurement evidence where necessary.
Then use the prescribed correction or revision process.
Do not simply refuse payment without understanding the available remedy and applicable deadlines.
A tax dispute may continue to involve obligations while the assessment is being examined.
Property owners should seek case-specific guidance on any disputed balance and payment requirement.
27. Can property-tax assessments be challenged?
GHMC publishes procedures and forms relating to revision petitions on property-tax assessments.
If a taxpayer receives a special assessment notice and disagrees with the recorded details or calculation, the applicable revision mechanism should be examined.
The relevant deadline may run from service of the notice.
Accordingly, a homeowner should respond promptly.
Potential issues include incorrect classification, area, usage or other assessment information.
Provide documentary evidence supporting the requested change.
Keep copies of submitted petitions and acknowledgement numbers.
For a complex or high-value dispute, independent legal or property-tax advice may be appropriate.
A complaint made by telephone without an official record may be difficult to prove later.
28. What if you own an apartment in a newly merged municipal area?
Hyderabad's municipal administration underwent changes effective from December 2025.
Official municipal service pages list formerly separate urban local bodies whose services are now integrated into GHMC-related systems.
Other parts of the metropolitan area have been addressed through separate municipal corporations.
For an apartment owner, this means older documents might name a previous municipality.
The current portal and assessment authority must be verified using the property address and official record.
Do not assume that every property described in a real-estate advertisement as "Hyderabad" has always belonged to the same tax circle.
Nor should owners assume that a historical PTIN has necessarily retained the same format after an administrative change.
The official government portal and municipal revenue office are the appropriate sources for account-specific confirmation.
29. Does a property-tax receipt prove legal ownership?
No.
A property-tax receipt records payment associated with a municipal assessment.
It is useful for property administration and future transaction due diligence.
But it does not replace a registered sale deed, verified title chain, approved layout or building permission.
An unauthorised or disputed building may still have a municipal assessment.
Payment of property tax does not automatically regularise illegal construction or resolve land-ownership disputes.
Similarly, the absence of an outstanding tax balance does not guarantee that a property is free of legal claims.
Buyers should treat property-tax verification as one part of a broader investigation.
The legal ownership and development status must be checked separately.
30. What should buyers check about unpaid tax?
A prospective buyer should request the latest property-tax receipts and demand details from the seller.
Verify that the PTIN belongs to the intended property.
Check the recorded owner, property address and assessment period.
Look for arrears and interest.
If the property is part of an apartment project, identify whether the flat has its own assessment and whether any relevant common-property tax issues exist.
Ask the seller to clarify outstanding dues before completion.
The sale agreement may allocate responsibility for different periods.
Such allocation should be checked with the property lawyer.
Do not accept a verbal assurance that "all taxes are cleared" when official verification is available.
31. What should NRIs do to pay GHMC property tax?
A non-resident Indian who owns property in Hyderabad may be able to use the government's online payment service without visiting a municipal office.
The first step is to identify the correct PTIN and verify the property record.
Then review the outstanding amount on the official website.
Use the available authorised payment methods.
Some overseas payment instruments may not be supported by every gateway.
If the preferred method fails, seek information from the official payment provider or GHMC rather than sending money to an unknown intermediary.
Save the digital receipt and confirmation.
NRIs should also keep their contact information current so they can receive relevant property-tax notices.
A reliable local representative may help with document collection or disputes, but account credentials and payment OTPs should remain protected.
32. Five common mistakes property owners make
The first mistake is confusing the Early Bird deadline with the normal half-yearly tax deadline.
The second is assuming the 5% rebate automatically applies to older arrears.
The third is paying the wrong PTIN.
The fourth is ignoring interest shown in an overdue demand.
The fifth is failing to save the payment receipt.
Other problems include relying on a previous owner's name, overlooking a municipal boundary change and assuming that apartment maintenance covers property tax.
These mistakes can be reduced by checking the official assessment before every payment.
A few minutes of verification can prevent much more time being spent correcting an account later.
33. A practical annual reminder system
Property owners do not need to wait for an SMS to begin checking their tax account.
At the start of April, review the current assessment and look for the official Early Bird announcement.
If an eligible rebate is available, complete the required full-year payment within the notified deadline.
If paying by half-yearly instalments, monitor the statutory dates and the current demand.
Review the account again before the end of December.
Keep all receipts in a dedicated folder organised by financial year.
After selling the property, retain copies of the last payment and transfer-related documents.
The owner should also check for any revised assessment notice during the year.
A simple recordkeeping routine can prevent avoidable interest and disputes.
34. Quick checklist before pressing the Pay button
Confirm that the website is the official GHMC or Telangana government payment service.
Check the PTIN.
Verify the property address.
Review the owner's name.
Check the financial year.
Distinguish current tax from arrears.
Check interest and adjustments.
Verify whether any rebate is actually available.
Confirm the payable amount.
Use the authorised payment gateway.
Save the transaction reference.
Download the final receipt and confirm it appears against the correct assessment.
If anything looks wrong, stop and seek clarification instead of paying a different property account.
Conclusion: pay through the official portal and understand the deadlines
GHMC property-tax payment in 2026–27 can be handled online through the official CURE property-tax service.
The process begins with the correct PTIN or registered mobile number.
Owners should verify their property details, examine the demand, complete the authorised payment and retain the receipt.
The 2026 Early Bird Scheme offered a 5% rebate on eligible current-year tax paid by April 30. That deadline has passed.
The statutory half-yearly late-interest thresholds are tied to the end of June and the end of December, with applicable simple interest at 2% per month for overdue tax.
A current property-tax demand may include old arrears and interest, so the figure should not be assumed to represent only one year's basic tax.
If the assessment appears incorrect, use the official correction or revision procedure.
If the tax is overdue, obtain the up-to-date amount rather than calculating a final payment independently.
Most importantly, keep property-tax administration separate from title and building legality.
Paying tax is an important homeowner responsibility, but a tax receipt is not proof that every legal or planning condition has been satisfied.
A careful owner verifies the assessment, pays within the applicable deadlines and keeps the records needed for future transactions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How can I pay GHMC property tax online in 2026?
Visit the official GHMC / CURE payment portal at https://onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in/PTax/. Enter your PTIN or registered mobile number, retrieve the property assessment and verify the address and outstanding tax demand. Follow the authorised payment gateway instructions. After a successful transaction, save the acknowledgement and download the receipt from https://onlinepayments.ghmc.gov.in/PTax/PT_Recipts_Main. If payment is deducted but not reflected, check the transaction status before paying again.
2. What is the GHMC property-tax rebate and last date for 2026–27?
GHMC announced a 5% Early Bird rebate for eligible current-year 2026–27 property tax paid in full by April 30, 2026. The benefit did not apply to previous-year arrears. The April 30 deadline has passed, so homeowners paying later should not assume the discount is still available. The separate 90% accumulated-interest waiver under the 2025–26 One-Time Settlement scheme ended on March 31, 2026, and should not be confused with the Early Bird rebate.
3. What is the GHMC property-tax penalty if I miss the due date?
The GHMC Act provides for simple interest at 2% per month on applicable unpaid property tax after the statutory half-yearly thresholds: the end of June for the first half-year and the end of December for the second half-year. For illustration, ₹10,000 overdue for three complete months would accrue ₹600 in simple interest at that rate. The actual amount may differ because of payment dates, outstanding balances, adjustments or special orders. Always use the current official demand to confirm what you owe.
