flag Delhi High Court upholds higher hotel taxes, citing tourism ratings and fair revenue distribution.

flag The Delhi High Court has upheld the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's higher property tax on three-star and above hotels, rejecting challenges that the classification was arbitrary or violated constitutional rights. flag The court ruled the Ministry of Tourism's star-rating system provides a rational basis for differentiation, and that taxing larger, luxury hotels helps achieve equitable revenue distribution. flag It also confirmed that basements, stilts, and other non-revenue spaces can be included in taxable area, as they support hotel operations. flag The decision validates the use of a uniform Use Factor and a 20% tax rate, affirming the tax regime's constitutionality.
