NEW DELHI: On Wednesday, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi sealed two commercial properties in the Keshavpuram zone due to alleged non-payment of property tax dues exceeding ₹1.33 crore, according to an official statement.
This action is part of the civic body’s ongoing initiative against property tax defaulters.
The properties, situated in Paschim Vihar and the GT Karnal Industrial Area, reportedly had substantial outstanding property tax dues.
Despite multiple opportunities provided by the MCD to settle the dues, the property owners did not comply, leading to the initiation of coercive action under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act.
Officials encouraged the property owners to utilize the ongoing Sumpattikar Niptaan Yojana (SUNIYO) scheme to avoid severe repercussions like property sealing.
This scheme offers a complete waiver on property tax dues accrued before the financial year 2020-21, along with interest and penalties, as long as the principal amounts for the current year and the preceding five years (2020-21 to 2024-25) are paid without interest or penalties.
The SUNIYO scheme is valid until March 31 of this year, as noted by the MCD.
