ULB Minister to MCG: Resolve property ID complaints on priority basis

GURUGRAM, Haryana: Dr Kamal Gupta, Minister for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), Government of Haryana, directed the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) to resolve the objections and complaints raised by the citizens regarding the newly generated property IDs.

Gupta said that all the objections should be resolved to allow the citizens to deposit their property tax on time. The meeting with the civic body officials was held at the PWD (Public Works Department) rest house.

The property tax survey was carried out by MCG in January 2022, after which the number of properties under the ambit of the property tax soared from 3.7 lakhs to 5 lakhs. Based on this survey, new property IDs were created and objections were invited from the residents.

The residents complained that there are mistakes in the details of residents’ properties in these new property IDs, and MCG should organise camps to rectify these mistakes.

Speaking on behalf of MCG, S S Rohilla said, “The deadline to seek property tax rebate has been extended till January 31. Those who have not filed their dues can get a rebate of 50 per cent if they deposit it by January 31. To make sure that maximum number of people avail this benefit, the ULB minister directed the officials to resolve the complaints related to property IDs.”

Dhruv Bansal, Spokesperson for Qutub Enclave RWA, said that it has been a year since the surveying agency made this blunder and the civic body has not been able to rectify errors in the new property IDs. He added that every day, they receive several complaints from the residents saying that they are not able to submit their property tax due to these errors. Apart from that, the minister also directed the officials to absolve development charges reflected against the property IDs for licensed colonies, areas under HSVP (Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran), marketing boards, etc.
