Property Tax Harassment by MCD in Dwarka

For last few weeks, residents of DDA pockets in Dwarka have been reportingreceipt of notices from MCD on non-payment of property tax for last 6 years since2004-05. Residents have been summoned to appear personally at MCD A&C office with documents and evidence of payments. It seems, MCD is sending such notices to EVERY flat owner of EVERY pocket / CGHS in Dwarka.


Except few, almost all residents have been paying their property taxes in time every year. In fact, many of residents have been enjoying early-payment rebates.
 
After MCD introduced online submission of property tax returns, many of residents shifted to online method. Online submission automatically allocates unique property id number to each resident address. But, instead of compiling such information and acting only on non-payment properties, MCD has issued notices to each and sundry accusing residents of default.

MCD, without doing their homework, is putting onus on residents to build their files. This is sheer harassment and waste of time of residents.
