**Delhi’s Property Tax Revenue Soars by 20% Thanks to Amnesty Scheme**

**NEW DELHI -** The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has announced a significant surge in property tax revenue, recording a nearly 20% increase compared to the same period last year. As of August 2025, the MCD has collected ₹2,024.75 crore, a substantial jump from the ₹1,687.57 crore collected in 2024.

Delhi Mayor Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh credited the impressive gains to the Property Tax Amnesty Scheme 2025-26, also known as “Sampattikar Niptaan Yojana” (SUNIYO). This scheme allows property owners to clear outstanding dues from the past five years by paying the current year’s tax, while receiving a complete waiver on interest and penalties. SUNIYO will remain in effect until September 30th.

“Till August, the Assessment and Collection Department has collected over ₹2,024 crore, which is nearly 20% higher than last year,” stated Mayor Singh. “The number of property taxpayers has also grown from 9.69 lakh to 11.37 lakh, an 18% increase.”

Officials reported that in the first three months of SUNIYO, 55,754 newly registered taxpayers under the Unique Property Identification Code (UPIC) participated, contributing ₹151.88 crore in additional revenue. A 10% rebate on early payments further incentivized timely compliance.

The mayor highlighted that the MCD generated about ₹2,132 crore in property tax revenue during the last financial year, adding that collections this year are on track to surpass that figure.

“The MCD is committed to improving civic services for residents,” said Mayor Singh.
