MCD to discontinue accepting cheques for property tax payments from July 1

NEW DELHI: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has decided that the civic body will not be accepting cheques for the payment of property tax starting from July 1, 2024. MCD took the decision considering the issue of dishonoured cheques faced by the urban local body.

In their statement, the civic body informed that from the next month onwards, one could pay their property tax through UPI, wallets, demand draft, pay order, or internet banking.  

Apart from that, MCD has also announced that the owners of the vacant lands and buildings can get a 10 per cent rebate if they pay their tax for 2024-25 before July 30.

All buildings and vacant lands under the territorial jurisdiction of MCD are liable to pay property tax under section 114 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act 2003.
