The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) reported a collection of ₹3,116 crore in property tax for the fiscal year 2025-26, falling short of its target of ₹3,500 crore by ₹400 crore. This figure marks a 46% increase compared to the ₹2,132.89 crore collected from 1,133,161 taxpayers in the previous year. However, a significant number of properties in Delhi remain untaxed, indicating a compliance issue. The MCD had initially set a higher target of ₹4,000 crore for 2024-25, which was later revised downwards. The MCD's efforts included the SUNIYO scheme, which allowed property owners to waive penalties by settling outstanding dues. This initiative resulted in collections of ₹1,236 crore from 206,861 taxpayers, including ₹242.87 crore from residential properties and ₹993.52 crore from non-residential properties. The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) also reported an increase in property tax collections, totaling ₹1,396.82 crore in 2025-26, up from ₹1,040.33 crore the previous year, as they aim to improve tax compliance without causing undue hardship to citizens.
