If you own a flat, house, shop, or even a plot inside Ahmedabad city limits, you’re on the hook for an annual property tax bill from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) locally called the Vera Bill (વેરા બિલ).
It’s the same tax, the same portal, and the same payment process; just a different name that shows up on official communication.
AMC was established in 1950 under the Bombay Provincial Corporation Act of 1949, and every rupee it collects through property tax goes back into running the city roads, drainage, water supply, and civic services across its East, West, North, South, Central, and New West zones.
The good news is that downloading your bill or a paid receipt takes under five minutes, no office visit and, in most cases, no login required.
What You Need Before You Start
The one thing you can’t skip is your Tenement Number a unique 15-digit ID assigned to your property, printed at the top of any old bill or your property documents.
If you can’t find it, go to ahmedabadcity.gov.in, open Online Services → Property Tax, and use the Search by Old Tenement No or address-based search option.
You can also use the AMC’s official mobile app, which lets you look up your tenement number and view your bill without opening a browser. Once you have the number, everything else is a two-minute job.
How to Download Your AMC Property Tax Bill Online
Most of this can be done without creating an account, since it falls under AMC’s “without login” services. Visit ahmedabadcity.gov.in, go to Online Services → Property Tax, and choose Tax Bill Display if you want your current or latest bill, or Download Property Tax Receipt if you’re after a receipt for taxes already paid.
Enter your 15-digit Tenement Number and click Search, and your property details owner name, address, assessed value, tax rate, and amount due will appear on screen right away. From there, just click the download or print icon to save the bill as a PDF. The AMC mobile app mirrors this same flow if you’d rather skip the website entirely.
How to Pay AMC Property Tax Online

Click Pay, enter your mobile number or email, and click Confirm to reach the secure payment gateway, where net banking, debit card, credit card, and UPI all work.

Alternative Ways to Get Your AMC Property Tax Bill
Not everyone wants to deal with a website, and AMC gives you a few other options. Dozens of civic centres across Ahmedabad let you get your bill or pay in person, accepting cash, cheque, or demand draft offline.
You can also message AMC’s official WhatsApp helpline number and get your bill details, a payment link, and a download option sent straight to your phone without touching the website at all.
One thing worth flagging: if your property falls under the Ahmedabad Cantonment Board rather than AMC, none of this applies you’ll instead need the separate e-Chhawani portal, where you log in with your registered mobile number and an OTP before searching for your property and pulling up the receipt.
Common Issues While Downloading the AMC Bill
Government portals occasionally hiccup, and this one’s no exception. A “Tenement number not found” error usually means a typo in your 15-digit ID, so run it through the Search Tenement or address tool to confirm the correct number.
During peak tax season, especially close to rebate deadlines, the site can feel overloaded trying again during off-peak hours or switching to the mobile app usually sorts it out.
If your bill still shows dues even after paying, give it a day, since recent payments can be slow to update, and keep your TRN ready in case you need to follow up.
And if none of the AMC steps apply to your property at all, it’s worth double-checking whether it actually falls under the Cantonment Board, since that means you’re on the wrong portal entirely and need e-Chhawani instead.
