What is a good rental yield in India?
A gross rental yield of 3–5% is considered average in Indian metros. Anything above 5% is good, and yields above 7% are excellent. Cities like Kota (student housing) and Pune (IT corridors) often see yields above 6%.
How is rental yield calculated in India?
Gross Rental Yield = (Annual Rent / Property Value) × 100. For example, a flat worth ₹50 Lakh earning ₹20,000/month has a yield of (2,40,000 / 50,00,000) × 100 = 4.8%.
What is net rental yield?
Net rental yield factors in annual expenses (maintenance, property tax, insurance) and vacancy periods. It is always lower than gross yield and gives a more realistic picture of your actual return.
Which city in India has the highest rental yield?
Cities like Kota (student economy), Hyderabad (IT sector), and Pune (education + IT) typically offer 5–8% yields. Mumbai and Delhi are lower at 2–4% due to high property prices.
Should I list my property for rent to improve yield?
Yes. A vacant property earns zero yield. Listing on ListItNow for free helps you find verified tenants quickly, maximizing your rental income and overall yield without any brokerage cost.
