What a 3.0–3.4% yield means in practice
At 3.0–3.4% gross, a Pune property will almost certainly run negative cash flow if you finance it. Home-loan rates in India sit comfortably above that yield, so the EMI exceeds the rent from the first month. This is not evidence that you have found a bad flat — it is the structural condition of financed metro rentals across India, and Pune is no exception.
What it does mean is that your return has to come from somewhere other than income: capital appreciation, the principal your tenant quietly pays down each month, and the tax treatment — the flat 30% standard deduction on net annual value under Section 24(a) and home-loan interest under Section 24(b). If you are buying for monthly income, the yield is telling you something important. If you are buying for a 10-year hold, it is telling you much less than you think.
Also remember this is the gross figure. Net yield — after municipal property tax, society and maintenance charges, insurance, and repairs — typically lands 20–35% lower. Use the calculator above with your real costs, then model the full hold including the eventual sale with the rental property calculator.

Frequently asked questions
What is the rental yield in Pune?+
Pune's premium/luxury-segment gross rental yield runs approximately 3.0–3.4% (Sobha, 2026). IT and manufacturing employment underpins premium rental demand. Note this figure covers the premium segment specifically, not a citywide all-segment average — mid-market and tier-2 property can yield differently, and other published series that use asking prices report higher citywide figures. Gross yield is annual rent divided by property value; your net yield after municipal tax, society charges, insurance and repairs will typically land 20–35% lower.
Is Pune a good city for rental investment?+
It depends on what you want the property to do. At 3.0–3.4% gross, Pune is unlikely to cash-flow positive if you finance it, because home-loan rates sit above that yield — the EMI will exceed the rent. The investment case rests on capital appreciation, tenant-funded loan paydown, and the tax deductions under Sections 24(a) and 24(b). If you need monthly income rather than long-term growth, judge it against that, not against the yield headline.
How does Pune compare to other Indian cities?+
Across India's major metros, premium-segment yields cluster in a fairly narrow band — Sobha reports luxury rentals averaging 2.6–4%, with Bengaluru and Hyderabad at the stronger end (around 3.0–3.6%) and Mumbai at the weakest (2.0–2.6%), where prices are most extreme relative to rents. The comparison table on this page shows every city we have a verified figure for.
Should I use gross or net yield to decide?+
Net yield. Gross yield ignores costs entirely, which is exactly why it appears in advertisements. Net yield subtracts municipal property tax, society and maintenance charges, insurance, and repairs — and usually lands 20–35% below the gross figure. Calculate your own rather than trusting a listing's headline number.
