The Mayor of South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), Anamika, informed that in order to provide relief to the citizens, SDMC has extended the last date of two amnesty schemes for the payment of property tax up to February 28. She said that SDMC has decided to extend the date of general amnesty scheme for payment of outstanding dues for all types of properties without any interest or penalty of all the categories under its jurisdiction. Under this amnesty scheme, those property holders will become entitled for 100 per cent waiver of interest and penalty on making up-to-date payment of outstanding dues.
The chairman, Standing Committee, Rajdatt Gahlot, said that the last date of new scheme, that was earlier introduced for the unauthorised colonies, is also extended upto February 28. Now the residents of the unauthorised colonies can avail this opportunity and deposit property tax for only two financial years i.e. 2019-20 and 2020-21. Their pending tax from year 2004 to 2019 will be completely waived off.
The leader of the house, Narendra Chawla said the scheme is for all such taxpayers who are not able to pay property tax due to interest and penalty. He urged all the citizens to file their property tax return on time and be a responsible citizen. The corporation acknowledges the support of its tax payers for timely payments, which enables SDMC to provide better civic facilities and keep serving the society.
