MCD Extends Property Tax Amnesty Scheme SUNIYO 2025-26 to December 31

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has extended the deadline for its one-time property tax amnesty scheme, Sumpattikar Niptaan Yojana (SUNIYO) 2025-26, by three months to December 31, according to a PTI report.

The scheme was initially valid until September 30. The terms of the scheme will largely remain unchanged during the extension, except that a 2% late fee on the principal tax amount will be applicable for payments made between October 1 and December 31.

Launched on June 1, SUNIYO has seen participation from 1.16 lakh taxpayers, generating ₹370.27 crore in revenue. Notably, 65,874 new property owners paid tax for the first time under the scheme, contributing Rs 187.8 crore.

For the current financial year 2025-26, MCD’s total property tax collection stands at Rs 2,111.63 crore from 11.63 lakh taxpayers. This represents a 22.5% rise in revenue and an 18% growth in the taxpayer base compared to the same period last year.

The extension of the SUNIYO scheme is expected to further boost the MCD's efforts in increasing property tax compliance and revenue collection. Property owners are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to clear their outstanding tax liabilities without the burden of high penalties.

The MCD has been proactive in implementing such initiatives to improve transparency and ease of payment for property owners. The extended deadline and the introduction of a nominal late fee aim to balance the need for compliance with the practical challenges faced by taxpayers.
