NEW DELHI: With a few days left for this financial year to end, civic bodies, including Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and Delhi Development Authority, have made arrangements to maximise property tax collection.
Except for Holi, the property tax offices will remain open on all days. Circulars, messages and notices have also been sent out in large numbers to motivate people to pay their pending dues.
Till Friday, MCD’s property tax collection was Rs 1,950 crore in comparison to Rs 1,862 crore till this point of time last year. The overall collection last year was Rs 2,417 crore.
“Unlike last year, there is no amnesty scheme in place this time. But, we are still making best efforts to increase the collection. We are making calls to taxpayers, holding camps as per convenience of residents and keeping the facility open at zonal offices also,” said an MCD official. The civic body claimed to have organised 130 camps in a week’s time.
“Each inspector has been asked to organise at least 500 camps in their area. The number of taxpayers has reached nearly 11.8 lakh so far and we expect maximum response in the coming week,” said the official.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, the New Delhi Municipal Council stated that their property tax department and tax collection counter would remain open on March 30 and 31. “To save time, taxpayers can even make their payments through online mode,” said officials.
