December 4, 2023: Property tax in Delhi will be exempted for the residential areas across the MCD’s rural jurisdiction, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi announced on December 2, 2023, as mentioned in media reports. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will not collect any house tax from Lal Dora or extended Lal Dora properties in the rural areas, Oberoi said at a press conference.
As cited in media reports, Oberoi said that the MCD will neither send notice nor collect property tax from the residential areas, whether it be under lal dora or extended lal dora in all its villages. This is a big relief from CM Arvind Kejriwal for the people of Delhi residing in the rural areas, she said.
Further, Oberoi added the property tax levied on commercial properties in the rural areas will, however, continue to remain the same. Around 2,168 roads in the city’s rural areas are notified under the MCD, and the commercial properties on these roads will continue to pay property tax.
