New Delhi, February 27 The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has recovered ₹11.69 crore in outstanding property tax from a firm that owns a private hotel in Paschim Vihar, a suburb of west Delhi.
The civic body stated that the property was undergoing liquidation proceedings, and the owner had defaulted on tax payments. Following this, the civic body initiated formal action and issued a demand notice against the firm.
According to an official statement, the taxpayer subsequently opted for the corporation's property tax amnesty scheme and cleared the dues on Friday.
Under the scheme, the Sumpattikar Niptaan Yojana (SUNIYO), taxpayers are eligible for a complete waiver of interest and penalties for the period before the 2020-21 financial year. To avail this benefit, owners must pay the principal amount of property tax for the current year and the preceding five financial years, spanning 2020-21 to 2024-25.
The civic body stated that the deadline for the scheme has been extended until February 28. The MCD urged property owners to settle their outstanding dues through the scheme, emphasizing its commitment to strict enforcement of tax regulations.
