What questions does the Rental Yield answer?

What is a good rental yield in India?

Residential metros: 2–3.5% gross is normal; 4%+ is strong. Tier-2 cities can hit 4–5%. Commercial property yields 6–9% gross.

How is rental yield calculated?

Gross rental yield = (Annual rent ÷ Property price) × 100. Net yield subtracts ~25% for vacancy, maintenance, society charges, property tax and repairs.

How much should I increase rent each year?

Standard escalation is 5–10% per year in metros. For long-term tenants, 5–7% is reasonable; new tenancies can be re-priced fully to market.

Is rental income taxable in India?

Yes — under "Income from House Property". You get a 30% standard deduction on net annual value, plus home-loan interest deduction up to ₹2 lakh (self-occupied) or full amount (let-out).

Furnished vs unfurnished — what is the rent premium?

Fully furnished commands 20–35% premium; semi-furnished 10–18%. Returns on furnishing investment usually recover in 24–30 months.

What is the rent control law impact on yield?

Old Rent Control Act properties (pre-2000 tenancies) are yield-capped. Post-2000 Model Tenancy Act rentals are market-driven; check your state adoption.

How long can a tenant stay in my property?

Under the Model Tenancy Act, tenancy is governed by the written agreement. Standard rentals are 11-month renewable; commercial leases are 3+3+3 years.

Should I use a broker or list directly on PropyMart?

Direct listing on PropyMart saves 1 month rent in brokerage and reaches verified tenants. Use a broker only for premium or hard-to-rent inventory.
