January 8, 2024: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) launched a modified module of the Sahbhagita scheme on January 6, 2024, allowing incentives to resident welfare associations (RWAs) and group housing societies (GHSs) that meet tax collection and waste management targets, as per media reports. January 6 would be celebrated as Sahbhagita Diwas, the civic body said in an official statement.
The civic body would celebrate January as the ‘Month of Sahbhagita’ with the aim of covering all registered RWAs/GHSs under the scheme by March 31, 2024.
Under the modified module of the Sahbhagita Scheme, a 10% incentive will be provided to RWAs/GHSs on the condition that at least 90% of their residents have paid property tax, MCD said, as cited in media reports.
An additional 5% incentive will be provided to RWAs, GHSs and educational institutions having an area of 10 acre and above, subject to 90% tax collection compliance and compliance with proper waste management rules under the scheme.
This additional incentive will be provided on the implementation of 100% waste segregation at the source, 100% composting of wet waste in the colony/society/educational institution, 100% recycling of recyclable dry waste and complete handover of remaining dry waste to the civic body or its authorised agencies.
