The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has launched a user-friendly property tax calculator for the convenience of the people. Now property owners can calculate their taxes directly without logging into the app or depending on middlemen.
According to MCD officials, this calculator is available in the property tax section of the official portal. Here citizens can easily find out the tax amount by entering basic details such as covered area (sqm), year of construction, use of the property (residential/commercial), type of construction and whether the property is self-occupied or rented. Not only this, users can also download a PDF of their calculation if they want, which will help at the time of payment.
A step towards digital transparency
MCD says that with this tool, taxpayers will get transparent information and they will not be dependent on others. This will make the process fast, easy and hassle-free. A helpdesk is also available for this on the MCD website where people can get any kind of help.
Earnings increased from ‘Suniyon’ scheme
Property tax is the biggest source of income for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. To strengthen this, this year the corporation has also started ‘Suniyon’ (Property Tax Settlement Scheme), which will run till 30 September. Under this scheme, MCD has collected more than Rs 304 crore in just three months. Statistics show that in the first three months of the scheme, 1,02,142 taxpayers have made the payment.
