MCD to stop accepting cheques for property tax payment from July

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) said on Wednesday, it will discontinue property tax payments through cheques from July 1 in view of the issue of dishonoured cheques faced by the civic body.

Starting next month, property tax will have to be paid digitally through UPI, wallets, demand draft, pay order or through any online payment gateway, the civic body said in a statement.

"Due to legal issues arising out of dishonoured cheques, payments of property tax through this medium shall be discontinued with effect from July," it said.

The MCD also appealed to property owners and occupiers of vacant land and buildings to pay tax for the year 2024-25 and get a 10 per cent rebate on lump sum payments before June 30th.

For tax payment, property owners or occupiers can log onto www.Mcdonline.Nic.In.

As per the provisions of section 114 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Act, 2003, all buildings and vacant land falling under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi are liable to pay property tax.
