The SDMC in a order issued on Friday also said that the licences for health, trade, restaurants, hotels of all categories, bars, grooming saloons and veterinary licenses for domestic animals, chicken, mutton shops are being extended to three years from one years.
Meanwhile, North Delhi Municipal Corporation has extended the last date of payment of property tax with 15 per cent rebate along with three per cent COVID-19 vaccination incentive for timely payment of property tax due for the year 2021-22.
