About

Use the Punjab Tax on Agricultural Land Calculator to estimate the land-based agricultural tax on cultivated land and mature orchards in Punjab.

This calculator is different from the Punjab Agricultural Income Tax Calculator. The land calculator works from acreage and land type. The income calculator works from agricultural income. Keeping the two calculations separate makes it easier to understand what each estimate represents.

Punjab’s official March 2025 agricultural land schedule uses irrigated-equivalent acreage for ordinary cultivated land. One irrigated acre is treated as equal to two unirrigated acres, while mature orchard land is excluded from that ordinary-land calculation and taxed under separate orchard rates

How Irrigated, Unirrigated and Mature Orchard Land Are Calculated

The easiest way to understand Punjab agricultural land tax is through examples.

Example: 20 irrigated acres

Irrigated-equivalent acreage:

20 acres

Applicable band:

Above 12.5 up to 25 acres

Rate:

Rs 300 per acre

Estimated land-based tax:

20 × Rs 300 = Rs 6,000

The rate and band come directly from the current verified Gazette schedule.

Example: 20 unirrigated acres

Irrigated-equivalent acreage:

20 ÷ 2 = 10 acres

Because the computed holding does not exceed 12.5 acres:

Estimated ordinary-land tax = Rs 0

This is why a calculator should ask whether land is irrigated or unirrigated rather than simply asking for one total acreage figure.

Example: mixed irrigated and unirrigated land

Suppose you have:

10 irrigated acres

and:

10 unirrigated acres

Equivalent area:

10 + (10 ÷ 2) = 15 acres

Applicable rate:

Rs 300 per acre

Estimated tax:

15 × Rs 300 = Rs 4,500

Again, the physical holding is 20 acres, but the tax computation uses 15 irrigated-equivalent acres.

Example: 30 irrigated acres

Equivalent area:

30 acres

Applicable band:

Above 25 up to 50 acres

Rate:

Rs 400 per acre

Estimated land-based tax:

30 × Rs 400 = Rs 12,000

Example: mature orchard

Suppose you have:

3 acres of irrigated mature orchard

and:

4 acres of unirrigated mature orchard

Irrigated orchard:

3 × Rs 600 = Rs 1,800

Unirrigated orchard:

4 × Rs 300 = Rs 1,200

Total mature-orchard amount:

Rs 3,000

The mature-orchard subsection of the official schedule does not show the ordinary 12.5-acre nil band. It lists Rs 600 per acre for irrigated mature orchards and Rs 300 per acre for unirrigated mature orchards as separate rates.

Agricultural Land Tax vs Agricultural Income Tax and Legal Updates

The Punjab Tax on Agricultural Land Calculator and the Punjab Agricultural Income Tax Calculator should not be treated as the same tool.

This page estimates the acreage-based amount under the cultivated-land schedule.

Your separate Punjab Agricultural Income Tax Calculator deals with agricultural income and the income-based provincial rules.

You should also avoid automatically adding the result of this calculator to the income-calculator result and calling the sum the taxpayer’s final liability. The official land-rate notification establishes the acreage schedule, but a final assessment can involve other provisions of the Punjab Agricultural Income Tax Act and Revenue Department assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

For ordinary cultivated land, the official schedule gives a nil rate where the holding, after conversion to irrigated-equivalent acreage, does not exceed 12.5 acres.

That is different from saying every physical holding of up to 12.5 acres is automatically treated the same regardless of irrigation status or orchard classification.

The official Punjab schedule treats one irrigated acre as equal to two acres of unirrigated land.

Therefore:

2 unirrigated acres = 1 irrigated-equivalent acre

So:

20 unirrigated acres = 10 irrigated-equivalent acres

40 unirrigated acres = 20 irrigated-equivalent acres

Under the latest officially verified schedule:

Above 12.5 up to 25 irrigated-equivalent acres: Rs 300 per acre
Above 25 up to 50 acres: Rs 400 per acre
Above 50 acres: Rs 500 per acre

The official schedule describes each band as a rate of tax per acre based on the slab of the total computed cultivated holding. It does not describe the bands as marginal rates applying only to acreage above 12.5.

For calculator purposes, once the computed holding falls into a taxable band, the listed per-acre rate should therefore be applied to the computed acreage, subject to the official Revenue Department assessment.

The current verified Gazette schedule gives:

Irrigated mature orchard: Rs 600 per acre

Unirrigated mature orchard: Rs 300 per acre

The separate mature-orchard section of the official schedule does not contain the 12.5-acre nil band. That nil band appears under ordinary cultivated land, while mature orchards have their own irrigated and unirrigated per-acre rates.

No.

The Gazette specifically states that mature orchards are excluded from the ordinary cultivated-land computation.

I could verify that Rs 1,000 per acre was proposed in the Punjab Finance Bill 2026.

I could not verify it as an enacted agricultural land-rate amendment in the final Punjab Finance Act 2026. The gazetted final Act reviewed does not contain the proposed agricultural-tax amendment.

The latest official per-acre schedule located in this research therefore remains Notification No. 147-2025/233-RS(II).

No.

This calculator deals with the land-based acreage calculation.

Your Punjab Agricultural Income Tax Calculator should remain a separate tool for the income-based calculation.

Keeping both tools separate also prevents users from confusing land size with annual farm profit.

Not for the current official schedule.

The March 2025 Gazette schedule does not contain a generic Yes/No status that doubles the rate. It instead uses irrigated-equivalent acreage for ordinary cultivated land and separate irrigated/unirrigated mature-orchard rates.

A clearer calculator would ask for:

Irrigated agricultural acres

Unirrigated agricultural acres

Irrigated mature-orchard acres

Unirrigated mature-orchard acres

That would remove one of the most confusing parts of the current page.

The relevant rate notification was issued by the Government of the Punjab Revenue Department, and it is signed by the Senior Member, Board of Revenue / Secretary to Government of the Punjab, Revenue Department.

This is therefore a Punjab provincial agricultural tax matter, not a WeBOC Customs calculation or an FBR immovable-property valuation calculation.
