The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has extended the last date of geo tagging of properties till February 29. Technical glitches have prevented many property taxpayers in Delhi from geotagging their properties by the MCD’s January 31 deadline. It is estimated that only Only 95,000 out of the target of 1.5 million properties have been geotagged so far. Property owners have complained about glitches in the MCD’s mobile app, especially for iOS users.

“It has come to notice that a large number taxpayers using iPhone (iOS version) due to some technical glitches or due to some other reasons, property tax payers have not been able to geo-tag their properties by due date. This issue is being handled on priority and will soon be resolved. However, in view the difficulties faced, it has been decided to extend the last date of geo-tagging of properties by taxpayer till 29 February 2024,” the MCD said in a statement.

“If the taxpayers fail to geo-tag their property, they cannot avail the rebate on lumpsum payment of tax by 30 June, 2024 in the next financial year (2024-25). All property owners/occupiers, who have not geo-tagged their properties so far are requested to geo-tag their property by due date i.e. 29th February 2024,” it added.

Geotagging properties means digitally mapping a property with the geographic information system (GIS). This means that a property can be identified on a map with its unique and permanent latitude and longitude coordinates. To do this, property owners must download MCD’s mobile app, and while present at their property, select the “current location” and link it with any unique property identification code (UPIC).
