Rental Yields in Bengaluru: What a Luxury Property Really Earns

The gross number

3.5–4.5% gross, with the shortest vacancy periods in India in Bengaluru. That is the number to start from, not the number to plan with.

Bengaluru's prime residential demand is driven by technology salaries and a genuinely deep leasing market — which makes it the steadiest income market for NRI owners in India.

What comes off the top

Service charges, management fees, letting commission, insurance, maintenance reserve and void periods. In prime markets these routinely absorb a fifth to a third of gross rent, and service charges on branded or amenity-heavy buildings are the most commonly underestimated line.

Tax matters too: stamp duty and registration; rental income taxable in india

Where the demand actually is

Indiranagar & Koramangala: Central, highest lifestyle demand.

Whitefield & Sarjapur: Technology corridor; strongest leasing volume.

Hebbal & North Bengaluru: Airport corridor, infrastructure-led.

How we underwrite it

Ten months of occupancy, three years of comparable evidence, and a resale assumption of flat real pricing. If the case only works on twelve months and rising rents, it is not a case — it is a hope.
