GURUGRAM: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) collected ₹213 crore in property tax during the first quarter (April 1–June 30) of the fiscal year 2026-27, achieving 65.5% of its annual target of ₹325 crore within just three months.
June 30 marked the final day to benefit from the Haryana government’s special relief scheme, which offered a 10% rebate on this year’s property tax and a complete interest waiver on pending dues from 2010-11 to 2024-25, contingent upon the payment of outstanding dues and self-certification of property details.
In the first quarter, June saw the highest collection, contributing over 66% of the total. MCG gathered ₹47.2 crore in April, ₹24.6 crore in May, and ₹141 crore in June, totaling ₹213 crore. The significant increase in June, which represented more than half of the quarterly total, indicates a surge in tax payments as the deadline approached.
Property tax serves as a major revenue stream for MCG, enabling funding for civic services such as road maintenance, sanitation, drainage, street lighting, and urban infrastructure. Officials anticipate an increase in first-quarter figures, as payments made on the last day of the rebate scheme are still being processed.
MCG Commissioner Pradeep Dahiya stated, “Residents have taken advantage of the interest waiver and tax exemption scheme provided by the government. Revenue from property tax will be utilized to enhance roads, sewerage, drinking water supply, sanitation, street lighting, park development, and other essential civic amenities throughout the city.”
To manage the influx of payments in the final days, MCG established special arrangements at all offices. Separate counters were designated for women and senior citizens, and tax branch staff were instructed to remain on duty without leave. Dahiya mentioned that property tax data corrections, ownership discrepancies, and other complaints were also addressed immediately to ensure a smooth experience for citizens.
