Quick answer

Gross rental yield is the yearly rent divided by the price; for a ₹5.00 Cr flat let at ₹1,00,000 a month it is 2.4%, and published listing data shows gross yields around 4.6% a year across Surat apartments. Net yield deducts vacancy, maintenance, property tax and your tax, which is why luxury flats are usually bought for appreciation and use rather than rent.

How to read the result

Compare the net yield with what the same money earns in a fixed deposit, then add the expected price appreciation, which is where most of a luxury flat's return comes from. Under-construction flats earn no rent until possession. Rent received is taxable as house property income after the standard deduction, and interest on a home loan can be set against it within the limits of the Income-tax Act; ask your chartered accountant for your case. Our price trends page shows dated rates by area, and the NRI guide covers repatriation of rent.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good rental yield for a flat in Surat?

Published listing data shows gross yields of roughly 4–5% a year across Surat apartments. Luxury flats sit at the lower end because prices are high relative to rent, so buyers rely on appreciation and personal use.

What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?

Gross yield is annual rent ÷ price. Net yield deducts vacancy, maintenance, property tax and repairs from the rent before dividing by price. The calculator shows both.

Is rental income taxable?

Yes, as income from house property, after a standard deduction of 30% of net annual value, and with home-loan interest deductible within the statutory limit. Confirm the current rules with your chartered accountant.

Can an NRI send rent back abroad?

Yes. Rent from an Indian property can be credited to an NRO account after tax and repatriated within the annual limit with the prescribed certificates; our NRI guide explains the steps.
