In just 3 months, MCD’s Suniyo property tax scheme nets `304 cr

New Delhi: In just three months, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s (MCD’s) Suniyo property tax amnesty scheme has collected Rs 304 crore, more than three-and-a-half times the amount collected under the earlier scheme.

The Suniyo (Sampatti Kar Niptan Yojana) scheme, which will end on September 30, has also witnessed a higher number of taxpayers, with data showing that a total of 1,02,142 people made payments under Suniyo between the first and third months of its rollout, compared to just 38,805 who availed of the Samriddhi scheme, which was launched in 2022-2023. The Suniyo scheme has collected over three-and-a-half times the amount raised under the previous Samriddhi scheme, which fetched only Rs 84.23 crore during the same period in 2022-23, an MCD senior official said.

He said this marks an increase of over 63,000 taxpayers and a 163.22 per cent rise in participation.

June 2025, the first month of the Suniyo scheme, saw collections of Rs 96.28 crore -- Rs 35.30 crore from residential taxpayers and Rs 60.98 crore from commercial taxpayers. The amount rose to Rs 150.57 crore in July. In August, Rs 58 crore was collected from the taxpayers under the scheme.

The MCD’s dashboard further revealed zone-wise data on the performance.

The Narela zone led the tally with collections of Rs 44.8 crore, followed by Karol Bagh (Rs 28.69 crore), MCD headquarters zone (Rs 25.78 crore), South zone (Rs 24.78 crore), and City SP zone (Rs 24.36 crore).

Other major contributions came from Keshavpuram, Shahdara (South), Shahdara (North), West, and Central zones, each crossing the Rs 20-crore mark.
