MCD extends deadline on property tax rebate in Delhi
Jun 28, 2025 05:02 AM IST The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Friday extended the deadline for availing a 10% rebate on early property tax payments to July 31, giving taxpayers an extra month to file returns and still qualify for the incentive. MCD extends deadline on property tax rebate in Delhi The decision, made during the MCD's standing committee meeting, comes in the wake of complaints about technical glitches on the civic body's tax portal. Typically, the rebate is offered for lump-sum payments made in the first quarter of the financial year, with a cutoff date of June 30. However, the extension was approved after members highlighted persistent access issues, which prevented many residents from filing on time. Under the Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) Act, property tax is applicable to all properties—including those in regularised and unauthorised colonies, urban villages, and even vacant plots. The rebate clause states: 'A payment of the tax due in lump-sum in one installment during the first quarter of that year (on or before 30 June) shall entitle to a rebate of 10% of the total tax amount due.' Property tax remains a vital revenue source for the cash-strapped civic body. Last year, the MCD collected around ₹ 2,163 crore from approximately 1.3 million taxpayers—only a fraction of the actual properties in Delhi. For 2025-26, MCD has set an ambitious target of ₹ 4,000 crore, the same as last year.

MCD partially seals Delhi Tamil Education Society school in Pusa Road over ‘non-payment of property tax'
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Tuesday partially sealed the Delhi Tamil Education Society Senior Secondary School in Central Delhi's Pusa Road area over alleged non-payment of property tax. While the Principal's office and several other rooms were sealed, the classrooms have not been attached to ensure that classes are not disrupted, said officials. The Assessment & Collection Department carried out the action under Section 156A of the Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) Act, 1957, officers added. In a statement, the MCD claimed that multiple statutory notices were sent to the school under sections 153, 123D, 156, and 446 of the DMC Act, but the school management failed to respond. The Indian Express tried reaching out to the school management for a response, but the authorities could not be contacted to comment on the matter. Tuesday's operation was carried out with the assistance of police personnel from the Rajender Nagar police station, led by the Additional Station House Officer (Addl. SHO), the statement added. Officials said further action was likely if the dues remained unpaid. According to the DTEA website, the association started its first school in 1923 and now has seven senior secondary schools across the Capital.
