The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has recorded its highest-ever property tax collection, crossing Rs 2,700 crore by December 31 in the 2025-26 financial year.
The figure marks a jump of about 45 per cent over collections during the same period last year, officials said on Saturday.
Officials said that the increase has been accompanied by a sharp rise in the number of taxpayers. The total count of registered property taxpayers has surged from 10.31 lakh in 2024-25 to 12.43 lakh this year, an increase of nearly 21 per cent.
Civic officials attributed the rise to a combination of taxpayer outreach, tighter enforcement and the response to the tax amnesty scheme, SUNIYO, introduced for 2025-26.
“Under the scheme, property owners can get interest and penalties waived if they clear the current year’s tax along with dues from the previous five years,” an official statement read.
Officials said the scheme encouraged many owners who had earlier filed incorrect property tax returns orThe Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has recorded its highest-ever property tax collection, crossing Rs 2,700 crore by December 31 in the 2025-26 financial year.
