NEW DELHI: The municipal corporations have extended the deadline till November 24 for paying property tax and other charges using Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.
From November 11-14, North Corporation received 2.4 crore in property tax and 2.07 crore in conversion charge. East Corporation in the same period recovered 1.05 crore in property tax and 1.51 crore in conversion charge.
South Corporation has received over 5.5 crore in property tax. “There was a limit of Rs 5,000 in accepting cash but we have scrapped it to encourage people to pay their dues,” said an East Corporation spokesperson.
The zonal deputy commisoner’s office and property tax department’s office will be accepting the old notes till 5pm on November 24. New Delhi Municipal Council has opened up several facilitation centres to help taxpayers.
South Corporation mayor Shyam Sharma said that the decision to extend the deadline has been taken after looking at the difficulties being faced by Delhiites. Senior North Corporation officials said that “the sudden inflow will also help in bringing those taxpayers into the system who were earlier not in the tax net”.
