Property Tax in Hyderabad (TY 2026-27)
Hyderabad Sindh property tax guide TY 2026-27 - Latifabad, Qasimabad, Cantt valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E, and Sindh stamp duty process.
Hyderabad property transactions face the federal stack (Section 236C 3%/10% seller WHT, Section 236K 3%/10.5% buyer WHT, Section 7E above PKR 25M, Section 37(1A) CGT within five years) plus Sindh provincial stamp duty (currently 3-4%), CVT, and Sindh Board of Revenue registration fees collected through e-stamping infrastructure.
FBR's Hyderabad valuation table places Qasimabad and Latifabad above the inner-city Resham Gali, Tower Market, and walled-city zones. Cantonment Board areas (Saddar, Hyderabad Cantt) follow a parallel mutation process. The textile-and-manufacturing transit role drives commercial-property flow that often crosses Section 7E's PKR 25M threshold.
Transfer tax in Hyderabad: worked example
Federal withholding on a property transfer is a percentage of the FBR-notified value - not the declared sale price - and the non-filer rate is more than triple the filer rate. These rates apply nationwide, including Hyderabad; the Hyderabad-specific variable is which valuation zone your property falls in.
| FBR value | Buyer 236K (filer 3%) | Buyer 236K (non-filer 10.5%) | Seller 236C (filer 3%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rs 10,000,000 | Rs 300,000 | Rs 1,050,000 | Rs 300,000 |
| Rs 25,000,000 | Rs 750,000 | Rs 2,625,000 | Rs 750,000 |
| Rs 50,000,000 | Rs 1,500,000 | Rs 5,250,000 | Rs 1,500,000 |
| Rs 100,000,000 | Rs 3,000,000 | Rs 10,500,000 | Rs 3,000,000 |
Section 236K (buyer) is 3% for filers / 10.5% for non-filers; Section 236C (seller) is 3% for filers / 10% for non-filers of the FBR-notified value. Property above PKR 25M FBR value also falls under Section 7E deemed-income tax. Rates are national; Hyderabad valuation zones set the base value the percentages apply to.
How a property transfer is taxed in Hyderabad
- Find your property's zone in the FBR valuation table for Hyderabad - this notified value, not your contract price, is the base for every federal withholding. FBR's Hyderabad table separates Latifabad, Qasimabad, Cantt board, and inner-city zones - Qasimabad and Latifabad command higher rates.
- The buyer pays Section 236K advance tax and the seller pays Section 236C, both collected at the point of registration by the Sindh Board of Revenue · Sub-Registrar Hyderabad · Cantonment Board (Cantt).
- Confirm both parties' Active Taxpayer List status before the transfer date - the filer rate cannot be claimed retroactively if you were a non-filer on the day of registration.
- Provincial stamp duty, capital value tax, and registration fees are charged by Sindh on top of the federal WHT above.
- Claim the 236K / 236C amounts as adjustable advance tax on your annual IRIS return - keep the challans and the registered deed as evidence.
Buyer & seller checklist
- Verify title / encumbrances with the Sindh Board of Revenue · Sub-Registrar Hyderabad · Cantonment Board (Cantt).
- Look up the FBR valuation-zone rate for the property.
- Get on the ATL (file a return) to pay 236K at 3%, not 10.5%.
- Budget for stamp duty, CVT, and registration fees separately.
- Check your holding period for Section 37(1A) capital gains.
- Confirm ATL status so 236C is withheld at 3%, not 10%.
- Retain the purchase deed to compute the gain accurately.
- Report the disposal and adjust 236C on your IRIS return.
