Secunderabad Cantonment Tax Reassessment Delivers 100%–300% Hikes, Residents Seek Relief

A decade-delayed triennial review takes effect for FY 2025–26 with a 30-day window for written objections.

Overview

  • Reassessment notices issued in January cite Section 80 of the Cantonments Act and make the revised demands effective from April 1, 2025.
  • SCB teams are re-measuring properties across all eight civilian wards for the 2024–27 cycle, with records noting over 36,000 registered properties.
  • The Rajiv Rahadari Property Owners’ JAC called the hikes arbitrary and asked that the previous tax structure continue until road widening and the proposed SH‑1 elevated corridor are resolved.
  • JAC representatives met Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender on January 17 seeking intervention after reporting steep increases across many properties.
  • Named examples show annual demands jumping sharply, including revisions from ₹17,226 to ₹54,420 and from ₹36,288 to ₹86,184, with owners allowed 30 days to file written objections.
