The North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has attached 648 bank accounts and 670 properties from April-October 2018, for the ‘non-payment’ of property tax, officials said. NDMC’s additional commissioner (revenue) BM Mishra said since April 1, 2004 (the date of implementation of the Unit Area Method), it is the responsibility of the property owner or occupier, to self-assess the property tax of his/her property and deposit the same with the corporation within due date.

However, many property owners/occupiers are not doing so. Thus, the corporation has to attach their property or bank account, to realise the same. “The NDMC has attached 648 bank accounts and 670 properties from April 1 to October 31, 2018, for non-payment of property tax,” the civic body said, in a statement. Mishra appealed to people to deposit their due property tax for the year 2018-19 along with arrears, if any, in time, otherwise defaulters would have to pay penalty and interest, along with the due tax.
