New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has attached more than 400 properties to property tax evaders from 27 April to 1
April 2019. The NDMC said these assets comprise a total of Rs 2775.42 lakh.
However, out of 416, 82 properties have been de-attached,
as NDMC realized Rs 367.60 lakh from these assets.
According to the civic body,
The North Delhi Municipal Corporation attached 125 properties in 12 days, including an amount of Rs 1090.55 lakh, while 28 properties were issued an amount of Rs 262.04 lakh.
In April 2018, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation
attached 648 bank accounts and 670 properties for non-payment of property tax
from 1 April to 31 October 2018.
For NMCD, property tax is an important source of funds. It is the responsibility of the owner / owner of the property to self-assess the property tax of his property and submit it to the Municipal Corporation within the due date. But many property owners / occupiers are not doing this, so NDMC has to keep their property or bank account in one place. As per the rules, a property tax defaulter has to pay penalty and interest along with the due tax.
