Property tax: SDMC mulls to provide doorstep service for filing online returns & its collection

New Delhi: 

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) is planning to provide doorstep service for its property taxpayers for filing their online returns and its collection.

Chairman, Standing committee,  Rajdutt Gahlot , on Wednesday said that the SDMC is planning to engage an agency for this purpose.

He said that today we had passed this proposal in the meeting of the standing committee to facilitate the citizens. He informed that under this proposal on receipt of a call from the citizen in the SDMC’s call centre, unique token number will be generated which will be shared with the citizen for all future references till the final payment is made into the account of SDMC.

He further said that on successful completion of the property tax transaction, Mobile Sahayak shall collect a nominal facilitation fee from the taxpayer. However, on the basis of the GNCT’s facilitation fees, A&C dept., SDMC proposed a cap on this facilitation fee which shall be not more than Rs.100/- per successful transaction.

The entire service fee/facilitation fee shall be borne by the citizen / taxpayer and shall be paid to the agency directly by the citizen / taxpayer. Hence, there will be no financial burden on the SDMC . Rather this will help in generating revenue.
